Its strange to see how companies “support” Earth Hour here in Singapore. Most of the companies turn off or dim the lights in their shops or office to do so, but I fail to see how this works out, since fluorescent lighting – used in most establishments, shops and offices – don’t usually consume so much electricity [...]

KONY 2012
