Today Singapore will mark Earth Hour by turning off the lights for one hour at Marina Bay. But for years Singapore has been encouraging and providing subsidies to increase building lightings at CBD and Marina Area. Will one hour of light off undo 365 days of increased lighting? Are all these an elaborate hypocrisy to make ourselves feel better for our "environmentalism"?
I am not criticizing Earth Hour although there are many learned critics.
