1 | South Asia: Every Day Is Earth Hour for Us | Azia Atsimo: Isan'Andro Ny Antsika Misy Ora Irain'Ny Tany |
2 | Earth Hour is a worldwide awareness event organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and it is held on the last Saturday of March annually. | Hetsika fanentanana manerantany ny Earth Hour izay karakarain'ny World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) ary isaky ny Asabotsy faran'ny volana Martsa isan-taona no fankalazana izany. |
3 | On this day households and businesses are requested to turn off their non-essential lights for one hour to raise awareness about climate change. | Tamin'ity andro ity, niangaviana ireo tokantrano sy orinasa mba hamono ireo jiro izay tsy ilaina mandritra ny adiny iray mba hanaovana fanairana momba ny fiovaovan'ny toetr'andro. |
4 | More than 5,200 cities and towns in 135 countries worldwide switched off their lights for Earth Hour 2011 and this year many more cities like Dhaka, Bangladesh, will be joining. | Tanàna sy tanàn-dehibe maherin'ny 5200 manerana ny firenena 135 no namono ny jirony ho amin'ny Ora Irain'ny Tany 2011 ary tamin'ity taona ity, tanàna maro tahaka an'i Dhaka, Bangladesh no nandray anjara ihany koa. |
5 | South Asia is a region with many developing countries hungry for power. | Faritra ahitana firenena marobe mandroso ary mangetaheta angovo [herinaratra] i Azia Atsimo. |
6 | Millions of people in the Indian sub-continent have no access to electricity, and the power sector is plagued by corruption and inefficiency. | Olona an-tapitrasany ao India no tsy manana herinaratra, ary hanjakan'ny kolikoly sy ny tsy fahombiazana ny sehatry ny angovo. |
7 | The demand is much bigger than supply so many countries use load shedding (planned rolling blackouts) to manage the electricity distribution. | Betsaka kokoa ny fangatahana amin'izany noho ny tolotra ka maro ireo firenena miaritra ny delestazy (delestazy fantatra mialoha) mba handaminana ny fitsinjarana ny herinatra. |
8 | In countries like Nepal, Pakistan and Bangladesh daily there are 4-12 hours of load shedding varying on the situation everyday. | Ao amin'ny firenena tahaka an'i Nepal, Pakistan ary Bangladesh, misy delestazy eo amin'ny 4-12 ora isan'andro eo, izay miovaova araka ny zava-misy andavanandro. |
9 | Netizens are vocal on the issue of observing earth hour in the social media. | Manana ny holazainy ny mpiserasera mikasika ny fijeriny ny “ora irain'ny tany” ao amin'ny fampahalalam-baovao sosialy. |
10 | While some are requesting others to observe Earth Hour, some are thinking that this is not more than a joke. | Raha mangataka famatsiana herinaratra ny sasany, ny hafa kosa manome lanjany ny Ora irain'ny Tany, ny sasany indray mihevitra fa vazivazy fotsiny ihany izany. |
11 | The following tweets from the region reflect what they have in mind. | Ireto tweet manaraka avy amin'ny faritra ireto no mampiseho ny hevitry ny tsirairay. |

50 | Speak For Change writes in a blog post: | Speak For Change nanoratra tao amin'ny blogpost: |
51 | Earth Hour is a serious issue and one must not write against it. | Olana lehibe ny Ora Irain'ny tany ka tsy misy na iray aza tokony hanohitra izany. |
52 | Is it a bigger issue than load-shedding that we experience daily in all parts of the country? | Olana lehibe indrindra noho ny delestazy izay iainantsika isan'andro manerana ny faritra rehetra ao amin'ny firenena ve ny Ora Irain'ny tany? |
53 | Is it a bigger problem than the losses in millions we attain due to the absence of electricity to the industries? | Olana lehibe noho ny fahaverezana an-tapitrasany mahazo antsika noho ny tsy fisian'ny herinaratra eo amin'ny indostria? |
54 | Is it more serious an issue than the non-availability of electricity in a local hospital where patients are operated upon under standby generators because the electricity doesn't show up? | Olana lehibe noho ny tsy famatsiana herinaratra eny amin'ny hopitaly ao an-toerana izay misy marary atao fandidiana amin'ny alalan'ny gropy (mpiteraka angovonaratra) satria tsy misy ny herinaratra? |
55 | I don't think it is more serious than countless scenarios like these, because it is not for us, people living in third world countries. | Tsy mino aho fa lehibe indrindra noho ireo tranga-javatra tsy tambo isaina ireo ny ora irain'ny tany, satria tsy ho antsika vahoaka miaina ety amin'ny firenena andalam-pandrosoana izany. |
