Today, at 19:53 pm and until 20:00 pm, we were all supposed to turn off all lights and electric appliances. This, as an attempt to see how much energy could be saved if everyone in a city or a country would turn off the lights and stuff. I don’t know if the rest of the world did it but at least I turned everything off, every little thing I could find, including the computers and the lights.I like that kind of ideas. Since I was very young, I always cared for nature and ecology and, nowadays, this subject has become more and more important. I truly believe we all should try hard to make this world a cleaner place and to save what’s left of our planet. We don’t notice but almost everything we do, harms in some way or another this, the only planet we have. And, as much as I like optimism (yeah, right… ¬¬), it’s very likely that, in a near future, our poor planet will be too exhausted to keep sustaining our lives and our children or the children of our children will face a very hard time that, maybe, if we start thinking ahead now, we could prevent.
So… If there are these kind of initiatives in you country or city, GO FOR THEM! Support them and try to help in everyway you can. There may seem like little, silly things… but all efforts may be worth it. 
Today, I was the only one in my building and in my street (and maybe in my whole city) who turned off the lights and every electric thing I found. But I’m glad I did and I hope, next time, more people will support the idea.
If we all work together, we can all take care of our dear planet Earth. 
バイバイ！
