Aircon is even worse than lights! <br/><br/>khengsiong: What do you mean that I as imposing my views to others? I was merely stating what I was doing on that particular night and particular hour. I was in no means imposing or judging people who might not be observing the Earth Hour. I think that you shouldn't be too harsh on yourself or others, because everyone has his or her own views in this occasion. If I sounded like I was forcing you to celebrate Earth Hour, then I apologize for that.<br/><br/>Irene: Thanks Irene. :) Yea, I read in papers of wedding couples having their reception dinners with candle lights also! <br/><br/>???: That's very romantic! :)<br/><br/>foongpc: Haha, it wasn't easy convincing the old folks. Need determination! Anyway, I agree with you. It's not just about that one hour. It's how we utilize energy for the rest of the other days. I have always switched off lights/fans that are not used in the house. I think it's a good practice and will grow on you, especially when you're the one paying the bills! LOL<br/><br/>Yin Hoon: High 5! Haha.. that guy that night was greedy and silly huh!!! :P soo sean: I know! Aircon is even worse than lights!

You managed to convince your old folks about switching off the lights! Not bad! I think it's OK to try and convince them but if they really don't want to, it's OK also. The important thing is we all do our part to create awareness. <br/><br/>I had a good time in the dark too until the mosquitoes attacked! Then, I had to switch on the fan. Haha! But I really think Earth Hour is about creating awareness and also teach us not to waste our resources.<br/><br/>In such hot weather, I need the fan to be turned on. It's necessary. But if I leave the room, and no one is using, then I'll switch the fan off. That to me is what Earth Hour is all about : ) Wow! You managed to convince your old folks about switching off the lights!

While I appreciate your efforts, I don’t think you should impose your views on others.

I personally have done quite a bit for the environment:
I used re-usable shopping bag – until Giant stopped me from bringing it into the supermarket; I haven’t installed air-conditioner; I drive a fuel-efficient car; When I am in the shopping mall, and see the door to/from car park opened, I will close it.

Despite all these, I was still criticized by an environmentalist for not willing to give up flying.

And you were talking about your ideal honeymoon trips. Are you willing to travel overland – by bus or train – to Europe? Do you fly and do not drive a gas-guzzling SUV.
