Just a gimmick?

When I first read this letter , I was still sceptical on whether Earth hour was just a gimmick. Today , I went to Pyramid which was suppose to be part of the event to check it out for myself. I must say that I was disappointed with what I saw. The place was still as bright as before with just a few shops turning one or two lights. As disappointed as I am , would I say that it is just a PR stunt? Maybe not , I believe that WWF initiated something like this with the purest of intentions.

The people who should be blamed should probably be the people of the world. We should be ashamed that there is actually an hour dedicated to asking us to off our lights when we should actually have the civility to do so by ourselves. So would I say the Earth hour is a gimmick? I think not because I think it still reaches out to some people. For those who remain ignorant of the crisis , please start changing your mindset and do your part to help the world.
