• A three minute lights out is simply not enough.
• Many company have joined the campaign but still turn on lights as usual.
• Although lights are turn off, air conditioners, fridges and so on were all running as usual.

Comment
• The government's promotion and education should not only be aimed at students, but also at the whole of society
• Government should lay down clear policy and legislation on energy conservation, particularly in the way power companies were regulated.

• Power firms should be assigned targets to help industries or commercial premises to cut energy use. Meeting the targets could give them financial rewards
• People should switch off idling engines and use fewer plastic bags to save environment.
