As of this writing, Sydney already had their Earth Hour because Australia is 2 hours ahead in the Philippines. I am actually shutting off my computer, my television, my component, my air conditioner and the lights here in our house to participate in this environmental campaign. I just do not know how popular the campaign is here in the Philippines since I never read it in the papers nor heard it in the television. I hope the second bout of Earth Campaign would be more widespread here in the Philippines. And you know what, after I get my money from Ka Pepe, I will by this solar bulbs that are worth P500 each. My aunt told me that they had these bulbs in the US and many homes are already using it during the night to reduce their consumption of electricity. The bulb is solar powered and only lights up during the night. It charges during the day by the power of the sun and when darkness comes, it will light up all by itself. The concept is the same with all our lamp posts in the streets. This will be my contribution in saving the environment. I hope someday, a solar powered computer and TV would be invented because to date, the number 1 consumer of energy are cellphones and computers. BTW, Below are some photos of those who participated in the earth hour campaign all over the world.

About the Catholic Blogger

, a.k.a. "bluepanjeet" has been writing in cyber space since 2005. In 2006, he jump-started his Catholic blogging a few years even before the Catholic Church realized the importance of utilizing social networks in spreading the Gospel. In 2007, in response to a realization of the growing need for Catholic Bloggers online, he officially launched his own self-hosted Catholic blog and called it "On The Wings Of My Dream" or simply OTWOMD which is a metaphor of his favorite psalm in the Bible, Psalm 63. Since then he has been blogging, and sometimes podcasting, for the Catholic Church using his enthusiasm in the New Media, his inclination on visual and digital arts, his passion for the written word and his love for the Catholic Church.

    I make a hard effort to always use my lights only when needed, and I reap the reward of a lower utility bill than my friends!
