THIS SATURDAY 28 MARCH AT 8.30PM YOU CAN VOTE EARTH BY SWITCHING OFF YOUR LIGHTS FOR ONE HOUR - EARTH HOUR.

can i keep my computer on?

can i vote man's creation and turn more things on?

is this a mormon thing?

h8 the earth, don't care.

I watched one video on their site.

I like how they tell you to just use a flashlight instead. lol.

sorry rick, i just can't take you seriously with that avatar

Looks like they want you to post on teh internets while your lights are out. I'm guessing most RMers do that every night anyway.

I'm not doing this, I'm going to counteract the lights off campaign with my lights ON campaign.

TURNING ALL LIGHTS ON!




No, it's not! This is a Mor(m)on thing:

Awesome. Well done, good buddy!

I hope all hospitals join that.

we switched all power off for an hour, sat round with candles played guitar, drank... didnt put power on for 4 hours.

was kinda cool.

nothin like turning off your power for an hour to forget the next day

we totes had earth hour last night and it was so fucking boring. my friends and i attempted to enjoy each other company but after fifteen minutes of sitting in the dark with no tunes on we had a fight and switched it all back on

Yeah, and you wanna know how much pollution was saved in the whole bit?

None. Nada. Zero.

How symbolically gay.

Although I normally try to be slightly "green". In observation of march madness I think they should of rescheduled earth hour. I wasn't about to shut off the Nova/Pitt game for this. I did recycle my beer bottles though

Yeah, instead of sitting in the dark for an hour, I actually decided to continue my current program of recycling paper and using re-usable water bottles and shopping bags. You know, things that actually help the planet.

Also, this would have been more effective if they had done it during the day. At night it's a one time thing; no one will ever willingly do it again because it means sitting in the dark. If you do it during the day, you teach people--oh, I can use natural light instead of wasting all this electricity--and maybe encourage repeated sustainable behavior. Because it turns out sitting in the dark once a year for an hour isn't going to do anything.

Really? I 'saved' a whole box of pollution.

You're an idiot.

I'm an idiot that knows that power plants operate at peak performance levels at all times regardless of how many dolts do or do not have their lights turned on.

What's really better? Producing energy and it's associated pollutants and using that energy to do something useful? Or just letting it all go to waste and polluting the same amount anyway?

You're a real thinker.

what the hell does homosexuality have to do with earth hour 2009?
