Friday Interesting Fact: Example of a really efficient energy-saving measure. We all know that New Year celebrations are different in different countries. Chinese New Year became very common. Besides it, there is a really interesting example - Balinese New Year: Nyepi According to the Balinese Saka calendar, Nyepi is a Balinese "Day of Silence" that marks the New Year. Nyepi is a day of silence, fasting, and meditation. The intention is to dedicate an entire day to introspection and spiritual cleansing, and Four Nyepi Prohibitions observed for 24 hours: • Amati Geni (no fire or lights) • Amati Karya (no work) • Amati Lelulangan (no traveling) • Amati Lelanguan (no entertainment) You can imagine: The whole country goes into darkness. Without lights, people are prohibited from walking on the streets, and vehicles are not allowed for 24 hours. Airports are closed, the Internet is blocked (mobile Internet is blocked too by telecom operators), and police observe that people shouldn't leave their houses or have light in windows. On the other hand, Nyepi Day festivities contribute to reducing the impact of global warming by saving electricity consumption by up to 60%, equivalent to approximately 290 megawatts(IJICC). Furthermore, Nyepi celebrations can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 33%, lowering levels from 427 to 375 parts per million (ppm). It sounds wild, but it's the time when the whole island is cut off from civilization. There are also some other fascinating traditions and rituals associated with the Balinese New Year.
