Tom : Have you heard about the Earth Hour event coming up this weekend, Sarah?
Sarah : I have, but I'm not sure how I feel about it. Turning off lights for an hour doesn't really make any difference.
Tom : I disagree with you. It's not just about turning off lights. It's about showing people's commitment to preserve our living planet.
Sarah : How come?
Tom : The main goal of Earth Hour is to reduce energy consumption and to raise awareness about environmental issues. You can do many things during the Earth Hour.
Sarah : What can I do then? All I know is only turning off the lights for an hour.
Tom : Firstly, turn off all unnecessary lights and appliances in your home, like TVs, computer and game consoles. Use energy-efficient LED lights if you need to see. Then, unplug chargers and devices that aren't in use.
Sarah : Positive things!
Tom : Yeah. The Earth Hour is also a great time to spend quality time with your family or friends. You can play board games, have a barbecue in the backyard, or just have a chat under the moonlight. Make it a memorable moment while saving energy.
Sarah : Nice ideas! I'll tell my family to participate. I've now realized that such small actions turn to be very meaningful to save our Earth.
Tom : They do!
