Join WWF for Earth Hour 2012, the world's largest single campaign for a better future for the planet. Pledge to switch off your lights and take a stand for the planet on Saturday, March 31, at 8:30 pm.
Then, get more involved:
Post your participation on Facebook and encourage others to join you.
Boast of your commitment to go Beyond the Hour on Twitter (#EarthHour).
Toast your friends and neighbors at an Earth Hour event. Earth Hour demonstrates the power of individuals, communities, businesses and governments to create change. Think what can be achieved when we all come together for a common cause.
Wanna bet how many Liberals will turn-off their lights but keep their 70-inch TVs, A/C, and computers running?
I’m thinking of burning some tires.
I’m really sick of these freakin’ whackjobs. I’m going to go start my lawn mower on a full tanks and just let it run dry to celebrate ...
I’m going to turn on the lights, watch TV, and smoke a cigar.
I don't suppose it would do any good to point out the irony in turning off your lights for a hour and firing up your computers for 3-4 hours just to brag about it.
Understand that the liberals’ goal is really NOT saving the planet,
but to feel good about themselves as a “good person”,
affirming the lie that they are righteous because of what they advocate and do.
I want all who follow this stupid idea to give me their telephone numbers so I can call them about buying gold from me. All of my suckers....I mean clients are happy they receive their gold in 10 days or less.
If they buy now, they will receive a storage vault to store the gold in.
......disclaimer........
We ship gold that is in stock in 10 days or less. Get it? In stock.....................................Suckers.
A local radio talker speaks of the “dark people”. Has nothing to do with skin color. People who want to see the stars in the city center.
That would be perceived and responded to as a personal attack, because of my above explanation. When you point out the fallacy of the things that sheeperals advocate and do to affirm their "good personhood", then you are attacking their "good personhood". It matters not what issue is involved.
After the reading the comments here, I am sure a lone Indian is somewhere crying.

Whose car are they mounted on ?
Would it help if i just send money? You know, buy my electric footprint?
What would really save the planet is that all the Greenies inhale and hold their breath for say, 20 minutes or so.......
Glad someone posted this. I’ll make sure to turn everything ON in my house.
gonna crank my stereo and clean my tape heads with CFC solvent to make the O Zone hole bigger.
Ha ha...we’ve been doing this ever since they started Earth day. Every year we think of something else to do. Last year I started the cars too.
Gotta pick up my burn barrel and burn all my junk mail. Two hours should do it.
They need to take measures to prevent exhaling when they pass out, of course.
I see. Then the argument turns into why I'm so "intolerant" with my "attacks on environmentalists / computerphiles / women / < insert victim class here >" and go from there.
Thanks for 'splainin'.
I had every light in the house burning last year, and I’ll do it again this year. Anything to piss off the radical enviro-nazis!
...or an Italian.
Who’s going to camp out and film Algores house this year?
This a crock! Do you know what Indians did when their camp site got too nasty? They moved to another spot! Do you want to know who told me that? An Apache Indian.
If turning off my 14 Watt Chinese Twirly Mercury-laden CFL for an hour will help the planet, then I should switch to the 150W Sylvania Tungsten Tanning bulbs and turn them off to help the planet EVEN MORE !
Whaddya think, folks?
Due to Irene, I celebrated earth day Aug 28, 2011 - 7:30am through Sept 16, 2011-2:00pm. That’s 462.5 hours. I did my share. The earth owes me. My lights stay ON, and no squiggly bulbs will be used.
I study the leftist worldview in order to understand them,
but not to sympathize with them.
In understanding their motivations, it makes it less likely that I’ll get brick marks on my head from beating my head against the wall in frustration.
And, now you know why you’re a viscious, mean, intolerant bastard when you simply point out the failings of the welfare system, green energy, etc.
Not breathing for 20 minutes will eliminate a lot of carbon dioxide. Less Greenie libs, and less carbon--double bonus for the planet!!!!!
Be sure to run all you electronic devices and bask in the glow of mankind's technological brilliance.
A few years back, there was some nutty college professor who wanted everyone to join hands around the planet then jump up and down at the appointed time. The desired result was changing Earth’s orbit so it would be further from the sun.
WWF? World Wrestling Federation?
“Planet good! Lights bad!
Wanna bet how many Liberals will turn-off their lights but keep their 70-inch TVs, A/C, and computers running?”
How true, 99% of them are a pack of hypocrites. I am going to turn on every damn light on the property, do my best to make the place look like the “Lost Wages” strip.
I’m in, but I can’t do it at 8:30 pm, so how about if I turn the lights off at 11:30 pm?
How much grant money did he receive?
The plan *might* have worked but there are just too many people too lazy to get off their couches.
They want to create change? Buy one stamp with a dollar. Repeat until satisfied.
“Pledge to switch off your lights” - man, if you can get a can of spray wax to turn off your lights, then you’re really onto something.
The irony of using power to run the computers to talk about saving the planet and all that is lost on the liberals. Their reasoning ability does not allow them to comprehend the hypocrisy of turning off lights to save power, but using so much power to run their electronic gadgets.

“Toast your friends and neighbors at an Earth Hour event.” they’d taste better deep-fried.
Crap, I turn of my lights to save my wallet! 19 cents a kw/hr in Fairbanks!
The libs should all eat spoiled rotten food (no refrigeration), forego antibiotics (no manufacturing, no refrigeration), haul their own water from the well (no pumps), and crap in the outhouse (no sewage system) for an hour on Saturday. Then half of them over age 40 should commit suicide to simulate the shortened lifespans resulting from no electricity. Only after all that would they would have the credibility to report back to us about how much of a paradise they’ve created by repealing the Industrial Revolution.
Critical thinking skills are not plentiful among the right-brained, logic-challenged, “feeeeeeling” leftists.
Me too! I turn on every light in the house, tv even oven and coffee maker. My kids enjoy it!
The WWF must be totally in love with North Korea because they turn off their lights EVERY night not just once a year.
Yeah, every time I spray that stuff on my light bulbs, it just turns brown and stinks.
You exemplify the lack of logical thinking of your class, Sybeck. Why aren’t you living in a hemp sack on a commune, slaving from dawn to dusk to grow a few vegetables, dying at age 35 from any one of dozens of diseases? Because of ELECTRICITY and human ingenuity, that’s why. If you dislike electricity so much, we recommend you spend a year in North Korea or Korea then get back to us on your experience. You don’t have the guts to do that...instead, you’ll preach to us as an elite who knows better than everybody else how everyone should live their lives.
In regard to your video, it is a non sequitur to connect littering the planet to electricity.
North Korea has been celebrating Earth Century.
