Like thousands of other people in Singapore, and millions across the world, I voted Earth. The lights went off, from 8.30pm to 9.30pm last night. It wasn't bad. In fact, it was real good. Jaime came over to my place and we spent a romantic hour in the dark :)

Although merely a symbolic gesture, it shows more and more people are becoming aware of climate change and the danger it poses. I can only hope this awareness will translate into sustained action. We can all start with simple acts, like remembering to turn off the lights when we leave the room, or turning up the air-con by one or two degrees.
