    I already turn off my lights for 8 hours every night or so, and during the day, my lights are off too. Oh, and I've replaced all my incandescents with CF's. So, WTF. Another stupid "feel good" scheme. Marc

      Wow, I'm at a loss! :) So is the site a spoof or is the author just crazy? Or did he just generate all the text with one of those text generator programs?

          The local municipality has driven me over the edge with this crap. Not only that, the municipality has decided to shut down the city's power (not counting hospitals, army basis and other strategically important locations) even the King is in on this.

              I sort recyclables and do so in greater quantity than anyone I know. Never do I leave a light on unnecessarily. My water cup at work is a throw away from 2006. But, I'll never believe in the hoax of man-made global warming. Earth Hour is a feel good. And by feel good, I mean this: Earth Hour Example[^]

                My immediate reaction to that would be to protest by burning a stack of tires for light.

                        Well, at least they're turning off the lights on the pyramids. I'm guessing, though, that getting cows to stop farting would have a much bigger greenhouse impact.

                          I'm sorry - I have other things to do with my life that are more important! I love the radio shows for this that probably use more energy then anything I do. It's a feel good publicity stunt that accomplishes little. More would be done by china switches off some of it's generators.

                                  My view is this. Anytime someone thinks of doing something like this, let it be planned, and budgeted and donated to, then stop, take all that cash and build\install some solar panels and wind turbines.

                                      Heck yes. In fact, getting American's off their love affair with beef would be a big step. Less cows, less rain forest destruction raising beef, etc. Marc

                                          60th Earth Hour[^] I think we all should religiously follow this.

                                          Whether or not GW/CC is man-made or even exists at all, if Earth Hour makes more people think twice about leaving appliances and lights on unnecessarily then it's a good thing. Not only will reducing energy consumption mean that our resources will last longer (because apart from renewables they are finite), but it also saves money on electricity bills and means we have fewer power stations strewn across the countryside.
