Live Earth

do you think this concert will raise people awareness on global warming? if you ask me i would say i dont think so. they'll come for the concert, listen to the messages, then go home feeling satisfied or not from the performances they just saw. any other way to raise the awareness then? to be honest, i have no idea. we heard a lot about climate change, carbon emission, but have we take part in reducing it? i'm sure we do or at least we try. once i read an article on how switching off your machine could reduce carbon emission. i forwarded it to few operators in my dept who are known never to off their machine. they do now. at least it shows their concern.
i remember reading somewhere about how this country try to participate by getting companies or building to switch off aircon during lunch time. not sure if this works but definitely not in our building.
sometimes i am a bit skeptical about the locals here. i can speak about how animal is abuse and they'd just listened then continued what they're doing. no sign of compassion. nothing. i actually talked about this to hp and her answer was, 'nothing we can do mah'. sigh oh well, not going to complain about people. rather i'd focus on what i can do. switching lights when i'm leaving the room. setting the timer of my aircon. switching off the electrical equipment, not living it on standy, whenever they're not in use. the only thing on standby are the fridge and the phone. i know i can do much more, but i'll start with doing all this small little things first. let's increase our level of awareness. oh look, its linkin park now!!!
