Tonight anywhere across the globe at 8.30pm to 9.30pm (local time) it is Earth Hour.

For that one hour you switch off all of your lights in your house. You can leave the TV on etc. as long as your lights are off. It is to save money on your electricity bill and it uses less Carbon Dioxide.

I don't really see the point, what difference is one hour going to make in the long haul?

I agree with Snig, it's just a gimmick.

also surely if it was to make a point and so on a total black out for a hour would be better so only essentials on like fridges and freezers

I might turn on all the lights in my house out of spite.

This is just a ridiculous thing people can hide behind and shout timidly "I'm doing something! You aren't! You're a bastard! LALALALALALALA!"

I already use energy-saving bulbs, I rarely have the light on anyway, I recycle and if that bloody isn't enough, I'm happy for the world to die.

lol I was considering doing this... I look over the road to a big house, all 4 floors had lights on. I was like... 'EW **** THIS!'
JOSHUAH!
28-03-2009, 07:40 PM
I'm quite shocked to see my street in darkness. Most windows just have blue lights from the TV reflecting on the walls!

Im using my laptop screen for light :P
reminds me of being a kid, when I used to hide in dens... don't ask. I aint even doing it for the earth I am doing it for my own entertainment, learning lines in the dark is fun, reminds me of camping!

I tried walking to the window to see how many lights were off but I nearly broke my neck... I am only gonna do half an hour, cos I am starting to think its pointless... the novelty has worn off :P
