My Reflection
Earth hour is an international event which takes place at the end of March every year. Participants are encouraged to turn off their lights for one hour starting from 8.00p.m. The event is designed to draw attention to the issue of wasted electricity in all countries. I can save electricity by spending lesser time on the television and computer games. There are many problems Earth is facing such as global warming, pollution and ozone depletion. We can stop pollution by using solar-powered cars and public transport.
