If one hour is great - why not two? How about eight? Heck, 24 hours should produce MIRACLES! Do it during a work day.
How did your Earth Hour go?
Spent it at a local head-banger concert. The lights were very bright and the ELECTRIC amps were all turned up to 11.
I think I slept through it.
What’s an Earth Hour?
Is this why Google was black yesterday?
Spent an extra half hour in my electric-powered hot tub.
Lovely.
I’ll be by to pull your meter presently...then you can “celebrate” to your heart’s content.
I don`t get it,
why not just make 10 the loudest? :-)
I turned on all the lights from 8-9pm,
F**K the giai tree huggers I say :-)
Huh?
/s
I turned on every light and let all my cars idle.
Where I live everyone seemed to have every light on.
Considering that I live in western Alaska, the whole event went well. There were huge swaths of sunlight from the Bering Sea coast all the way up to Point Hope. There were some specks of artificial light around Fairbanks and Anchorage, but since the sun doesn’t set until 8:40 p.m. and real darkness doesn’t occur until 11 p.m., we did our part. I would have gleefully turned on every light in the house as a protest, but not at 39 cents a kilowatt hour.
Isn’t this kind of event emblematic of liberal thinking - do something theatrical that shows off your intentions, then sit back and assume you’ve done enough?
My house hasn’t been that bright since Christmas lights came down. :-p
We poured all of our waste oil into the local creek and set it on fire.
Drove 50 miles to visit friends, burned propane gas in the grill for about 45 minutes, used the oven to make brownies and watched a movie.
Granted that took more than an hour but it’s the thought that counts.
“Earth Hour” happened during the 2nd half of the No. Carolina vs. Louisville NCAA tourney game last night (here on the W. coast, at least). Did the lib nutters want us to turn our TVs off too?
When?
I walked the dog a half mile down the road so she could take a dump in my liberal neighbor’s front yard.
Did everuthing humanly possible to increase my “carbon footprint” by a factor of !
What a joke. Most of the commercial buildings that were darkened, then re-lit an hour later use ballast powered lights ( fluorescent, metal halide, etc) and they will run many hours on the power needed to start them. So the end result of their feelgood deed was to spike the energy grid.
On a related note, just what technical qualifications does A. Gore (if you don’t believe me, you think the world is flat) have to make him an expert on global warming?
