"Sok kicsi sokra megy" is a Hungarian saying, meaning something along the lines of "lots of little goes a long way". Earth Hour is an initiative to encourage people to switch off their lights for an hour today, the 28th of March at 20.30 their local time. When I say "lots of little goes a long way" I'm not really talking about a significant change in the consumption of energy. Sure, for this particular hour there is certainly some detectable change, but what really goes a long way is these 60 long minutes that I, personally will spend with some dear friends, candles and some wine. Those 60 minutes, that usually just fly by unnoticed during the course of the day, will be spent reflecting on the direction we are headed. It is a collective doom, towards which we are speeding faster and faster with every minute of every hour of everyday, and these 60 minutes are a reminder of our belonging together as a damned humanity. Most importantly, these 60 minutes are a lifeline to regain faith in ourselves as conscious individuals and active participants. There is a way to slow down the slide towards oblivion. We are not a mindless mass that marches towards its own destruction. We vote Earth. We vote life. We vote decision.
