Earth Hour Tonight

I'm going to try to do this - but then I would have to be tuned in and remember somehow. I'll come back and and look at the slideshow later to see how things look when the lights are turned out.....

i have candles lit and only the computer lights glowing. stepped out to look at the neighborhood and saw that most people aren't doing this.

I don't think many in my neighborhood did it either. We turned everything off except the TV in the bedroom. Rich loves the earth but will only indulge me just so far.....

Earth Hour

I read an Assembly bill about this and I see two very glaring problems with the whole concept: 1. It's only 1 hour, which though it might save a very, very slight amount of energy is not going to really make a marked difference. 2. It's schedule to be on the last Saturday in March every year, meaning that it's already not a peak energy usage period. Additionally, as your other friend mentioned, if I hadn't read about it at work I most likely wouldn't have heard about it at all. I'm glad you heard about it and took part, but I doubt very many people did.
