håret har börjat bli långt!
något jag ångrar med mitt hår är att jag klippt det i så många lager.
hade varit bättre om allt var i samma längd. Det har även börjat tova
ihop sig då då, så ibland ser det ut som jag har små dreads...
kanske dags att klippa de lite?
Spenderade 4 timmar på gymmet idag med syster, solade även.
Är helt jävla slut nu, jag glömde earth hour också och jag har även glömt allt annat jag skulle gjort idag...

Jag hatar earth hour, det är dynga...
1) Perhaps no energy will be saved at all
This is actually quite interesting; since the reduced demand for electricity is temporary and so short, certain power plants may actually not respond to the fall, which means that they keep production at the same level as usual. The result is produced electricity that is lost in vain.
2) Possible energy saved is still trivial
Even if power plants produce less electricity, some energy is saved and carbon dioxide emissions are reduced, this possible reduction is so small in relation to the global emissions that it does not make any difference at all. This is because of three reasons.
Firstly, it is only for one hour. There are almost 9 000 hours on a year, and obviously 1/9000 is not a very large number.
Secondly, only some people do it. No matter how many millions of participants that the sponsors and creators of the event report, there are still many, many millions of people who do not turn off any electric appliance, and some of the people who participate in Earth Hour, just turn off their computer or so.
Thirdly, the households only represent a part of the total energy consumption. One must not forget offices (the absolute major part not participating in the Earth Hour), factories, commute services, communiations, etc, etc, that use a lot of power and will not turn it off during Earth Hour.
3) It is a waste of time
Since Earth Hour itself does not help our planet, it is a waste of time. No, it will most likely not lead to any catastrophic events, but nothing good will come out of it - so why do it?
Some people say that they could participate in Earth Hour and then join other causes for the environment as well. The problem is that there is a risk that the effect will be reversed. It is likely that some will turn their radiators off for one hour, then turn them back on again, feel really good about themselves, think that they helped the planet, and that they have done their part for a while. In that sense, Earth Hour risks becoming more of a cause for rich people's conscience than for the global environment.
Everybody knows that the time is limited, so why not use it for something that actually makes a difference? Why not skip Earth Hour and instead use 30 minutesto raise funds for rainforest preservation?
4) Earth Hour risks taking focus off real solutions
If global warming and climate change due to human caused carbon dioxide emissions really poses a threat to humanity and the future of the planet, then the problem will definitely not be solved by Earth Hours, Earth Days or even Earth Weeks. If there is such a thing as a human greenhouse effect which risks creating floodings, drought and so on, then we need real solutions. Low energy light bulbs, banning plastic shopping bags and fewer showers will not certainly not save the earth. What we need is a substitute for energy based on fossil fuel (carbon based energy), and for that we need more research, and more money to R&D (research and development).
It is true that the organizers of Earth Hour states that the event is not only about the temporary reduction in energy consumption, but about calling for other measures to fight global climate change. However, the message that the campaign sends is a bit paradoxical, because Earth Hour is about reducing individual energy consumption, and the homepage of Earth Hour even lists as the top action that one could do is finding out about reducing one's "carbon footprint". But again, solving global warming is not about reducing personal energy consumption; the only way this approach could achieve anything at all is if people started to live without electricity, and reverse hundred years of development, which of course is not realistic.
The solution to the problem is instead about finding alternative energy sources to the ones that are causing carbon dioxide emissions. A much better than Earth Hour would therefore be to have an Energy Research Day where people did fundraising for research on alternative fuels, and at the same time sent the message to the world's politicians to increase money spent on energy research.

Jag känner detsamma, ena sidan av mitt hår är klippt jättekonstigt, haha. Men ska jag rätta till det måste jag klippa resten av håret med så jag låter det bara vara. 8)
