Its always fun to observe and mock the rituals of the neo pagans.

Does my burning an old large tractor tire count as a good thing for that hour? Just askin’.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

I forgot all about it....

I would have turned on additional lights if I had remembered.

[OrangeHoof]

Sorry, I was in a Bible Study group discussing how all are sinful and fall short of God’s glory. Something about the wicked who flail about in the darkness...

[Vision Thing]

These hypocrites should never have turned back on their lights, smartphones and cars after da erf hour ended.

[Fiddlstix]

I turned on all things electrical at my house and celebrated "Earth Improved by Human Inventions" hour!

[digger48]

Without even knowing I missed it, my plan this morning for when the rain stops is to go get a new burn barrel for my combustible trash.

Turning on lights takes one out of the dark

It’s made from sap from a rubber tree isn’t it? The tree will eventually die and convert into CO2 by termites.
So what is the difference?

I was in a night spot with amplified music and eight large screens. Kept making them run cooking appliances for my whims.

[rktman]

Well someone needs to do something about them erf kiillin’ little critters. Maybe larger NO WOOD EATING ZONE signs would teach ‘em a thing of two. Turn it up to 12!

[Starboard]

Wonder how many liberal political elites and Hollywood stars were flying around in the private jets last night?

[Baynative]

My record of missing earth hour is unbroken - 10 for 10!

[Twinkie]

At 8:30 PM, I turned on stuff. Some guy was gonna put up
his Christmas lights. I told him he should just leave them
up all year and turn them on every night to avoid the hassle
of doing it over every year AND on “Earth Hour” as well.

We don’t do Christmas lights any more. Too old and grouchy.

I plan to spend the next Earth Hour thinking about who immediately benefits from the collapse of the electric grid. Since the scientific evidence that attempts to connect global warming and so called Green House gases grows flimsier with each passing day I'm not willing to make any longer term prognostication (sorry Algore). At this point I'm thinking the only true immediate beneficiaries are inmates on Death Row in states still using Old Sparky. Please feel free to add other suggestions.

"With all due respect to 'Earth Hour' advocates ..."
Those advocates are due zero, none, nada respect. Period.

I missed it too, but that explains why every light in my neighborhood was on, except a couple people that nobody likes. Even the brand new houses that are yet to be occupied had lights on. I love my neighborhood.

[Ditter]

Nothing special for me to do. My lights are on all year.

"Candles add to the warmth & atmosphere of a home, but some candles can contribute to an indoor air pollution problem by emitting particulate matter (candle soot) into the air. Candle pollution not only discolors the walls, ceilings and contents of a home it can also contaminate the ventilation system's ductwork. This is especially true of ducts constructed from fiberglass "duct-board". It appears that petroleum-based (paraffin) candles and scented and/or aromatic candles are the worst offenders. Most candles on the market today are made from paraffin wax or a blend of paraffin and other waxes. Paraffin is a derivative of petroleum. When burned they release carcinogenic toxins such as benzene, toluene, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acrolein and soot into the air. The emissions from paraffin candles contain many of the same toxins produced by burning diesel fuel. It is like starting up a diesel engine inside you home!"
