民政党环境、安全及生活素质局主任兼吉打州德卡区州议员谢顺海医生今日呼吁大众踊跃支持2012地球一小时活动，届时大家可于晚上8时30分至9时30分期间，将所有的灯及其他不需用到的电源关上一小时。

 

他说，这项活动的意义在于提醒人民应爱护地球。他也说，爱护大自然需要大家的努力，我们应该减少浪费天然资源，避免自然环境遭到破坏。

 

谢顺海医生说，今年是第五个地球日，世界自然基金会将时间定于3月31日，由晚上8时30分至晚上9时30分。 参加这项活动的国家逐年增加，去年共有135个国家中的5251个城市参加了该项盛会，相较于2010年的126个国家，共增加了9个。

 

 

谢顺海医生说，"我们应减少电流的使用量以及避免浪费能源，这可以保护环境免受污染。我们应养成节省电源和天然资源的习惯，为保护地球献出一份力量"

 

他也说，"其实我们不应只在地球日熄灯一小时，反之应时刻都抱有环保意识，提醒自己不要浪费地球有限的资源。地球日的目的不在于熄灯一小时，而是要提升公众的环保意识，从而使人们懂得珍惜地球资源的重要。"
