Earth Hour Saturday: Believing Together

Today is the last Saturday of March and the whole world unites to observe the Earth Hour event. I believe that people come together for a cause because they share the belief in it. Earth Hour, for instance, is a belief they share about the fact that we have got to save what houses us. Humanity owes life to this planet. That’s a reason big enough to come together and do our bit towards keeping Earth as beautiful and lively as it should be.

Earth Hour Event: Collective Beliefs

There is something about collective believing like the Earth Hour event that has fascinated me since childhood. I remember how watching thousands of believers reading the namaaz on the day of Eid used to excite me. It still does.

A teacher in school once told us about this concept of collective believing in a quite simple way. She taught us that prayers always help. When we pray, we expect God to hear us. So, if we really want to make sure that he heeds to our prayers, we must get together and voice our concern in a united way. Nobody asked any question, probably because that made total sense.

International Earth Hour: Purpose and Importance

Earth Hour is not just an event. It is a statement that the world makes to itself. That’s why questions like ‘why earth hour’ (recognizing the importance of earth hour and understandng the purpose of earth hour) are more important than “when is earth hour.” Earth Hour is a realisation. Earth is changing. If we want this change to be for the better, we need to change. Switching off for now.
