My Earth Hour Personal Photos

Here are my personal photos from Earth Hour. I know they aren’t in the best quality but as you can see I used a lot of candles. It was really funny to take pictures in the dark and almost our apartment caught fire. I really enjoyed Earth Hour, probably I will have Earth Hour every weekend :D How did you spend your Earth Hour?  :)

Earth Hour

Millions of people around the world switch off their lights for Earth Hour at 8.30pm (20:30) in their local times on the last Saturday of March each year. In 2013, Earth Hour occurs one week earlier, on March 23.
 

 Earth Hour is a worldwide event organized by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and held towards the end of March annually, encouraging households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights for one hour to raise awareness about the need to take action on climate change. The event, conceived by WWF and Leo Burnett, first took place in 2007, when 2.2 million residents of Sydney participated by turning off all non-essential lights. Following Sydney's lead, many other cities around the world adopted the event in 2008. Earth Hour 2013 will be held on March 23, 2013 from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., at participants' local time.

 
Some people enjoy Earth Hour with a candle-lit dinner or a candle-lit bath, while others host large events or parties, either in darkness or with candles, to celebrate Earth Hour.

How is paper made

Trees are cut down by lumberjacks. The wood is loaded on a lorry and sent to a factory. Wood is cut it into small pieces called "chips". The tiny pieces are cooked into the water. It’s pressed into a sheet. When the sheet of paper dried, they are put onto big rolls. Then the paper is made from rolls of paper. 

Youth Without Youth

Yesterday I saw a movie “Youth Without Youth” at school so I decided to write to you about it. If you will be interested, you can watch this movie online here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0481797/.

Youth Without Youth (2007) is a fantasy drama film written and directed by Francis Ford Coppola, based on the novella of the same name by Romanian author Mircea Eliade. The film is a co-production between the United States, Romania, France, Italy and Germany. It is starring by Tim Roth, Bruno Ganz, Alexandra Maria Lara, André Hennicke, Marcel Iureş and Adrian Pintea.

When the 70-year-old man is struck by lightning, his age begins to reverse as his mind grows infinitely more brilliant. Determined to understand the origins of language and consciousness, the fugitive professor leads authorities on a wild chase through Romania, Switzerland, Malta, and India.

This film is part of Romanian culture and we were watching it during our Art and Culture lessons. In my opinion, this film was really difficult to understand for teenagers, it was very philosophical film, I was like “What is going on there right now?”, and our British teacher was like “Do I exist, do you exist?” and I don’t judge this film, because I think it was good film with great actors and I think everyone should create own opinion. In my view it was great film, for adults but not for teenagers because sometimes I really didn’t know what was happening.
