Earth Hour, is it still relevant?

Not everything is as what it seems to be, we all witnessed the aftermath of earth hour concerts, earth hour marathons and other earth hour events. Is this what we considered as green? Buy an earth hour t-shirt and think you helped earth? Is it really that simple?

"This is the reason why I don't observe "Earth Hour" -- because it takes time and attention away from finding real solutions. Because it has dubious conservation and educational value. Because it has just become another high-consumption PR & fundraising event which encourages people to drive out to shopping malls, buy the event t-shirts, flashlights and candles and pretend to care for the environment." - Wong Ee Lynn
