Safe Our Planet

I was driving on Silibin Road. When approaching the junction to First Garden, I see this high voltage cable & the power substation which I have seen for over 30 years. However, something different comes to my mind this time; we were participating Earth Hour last night, but how many of us really persist in energy saving to reduce natural resources consumption to safe our planet? Last night we turn off the lights on ourselves, will one day mother nature turn it off for us?
