    Never mind who's promoting it, saving power is a good thing generally and to be encouraged. Obviously it's not going to solve the energy problem in one day but if it raises the profile of energy conservation then I welcome it.

    You know, i can understand. Back at college, over a summer, the idiots who managed EMPTY dorms left the light on in every dorm room in this one building over the whole summer.

      Don't we need the cows, sheep, goats, etc. to produce the manure necessary to grow grains, vegetables, etc. ? :-D

        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[^]

        I guess that one lone light must be Kim Jong's place.

          Bah. I'll protest the stupidity of this by turning on every light in the house, cranking up the heat, and pointing some fans at each other. If all else fails maybe I'll make a bonfire out of some old tires and aerosol cans.

              on top of every light in the house, I'm going to rent the oldest diesel generator I can find and route the electricity generated into the ground. I'm hoping that the small woodland creatures in the lot next to my house just sit there jiggling for a full hour.

                Or maybe burning one of the boxes containing the worm court notes seeing as no-one seems to take notice of them.

                  Open the windows and crank the AC to the max while you're at it.

                      Chemical fertilizer mixed with diesel fuel blows up and kills people. Therefore chemical fertilizers should be banned.:suss:
