Freeze for World Earth Day 2008


April 22 is know around the world as "Earth Day" since 1970. The history was a bit(actually very!!!) lengthy, that i didn't bother to read it......if you guys want more info, you can check wikipedia for it.

As you know, if there's any special day, there bound to be some special events and Earth Day has no exceptions as well. In conjunction with Earth Day, People decided to just "freeze" for 4 minutes. Sounds kinda lame huh???

Actually it's more hilarious then you think. Imagine, you, just walking in a shopping complex or the train station, then at the stroke of the hour, you freeze!!!......

People would be wandering, "what the heck????". As you freeze, you'll see other people's reaction towards your action and thinking, "what is going on???"....You'll actually try not to laugh before the 4 minutes and wanna look at their reactions more.....haha

It's no fun doing it alone. People might think you have just escape from Tanjung Rambutan or something. Do it with a group of people or a crowd. This is more fun and you'll remember to the day you die.......or something exciting happens to you.

There is a reason why people just participate in this event. The reason is that the average person globally uses 2255 Watts of power, or a little less than 23 x100 Watt light bulbs. (www.wattzon.org)

Now that’s a lot of power to be wasting. Imagine if we could Freeze the daily activities of as many people as we can for 5 minutes. That’s a looooottt of power we’re saving for the future generations.
