That reminds me, it is exactly the same time as my annual “LIGHT UP THE WORLD” hour, where we turn on every electrical appliance, spool up the hot tub and then sit back in all the bubbles and look how pretty it looks from outside!

Would be interesting to note the spike in crime (burglaries, robberies, rape, petty larceny, etc.) during this period of self-imposed blackout.

In North Korea every hour is earth hour.

I have to get a new light bulb for my front porch. You can't scoff at earth hour if your bulb is burned out.

These morons haven't figured out yet that the one volcano that just erupted in Iceland negated all the energy saving, clean air efforts and CO2 emissions that every human being in the existence of the earth has ever tried to counter.

Oh, is tonight the night we’re supposed to turn on all our lights?

I always make sure the washer and dryer are on, then leave the refrigerator door open while heating our kitchen with the oven, also let the children play with both garage door openers for this special event.

“Earth Hour labelled a waste of time”

Right, Earth Hour. Give a crap once a year for an hour, and that’s doing something!?

Oh, dear. Another touchy-feely moment I forget about. Ask me if I feel badly.

“Last year, more than 200 million people in 128 countries participated in the event.”
I wonder if they counted me in that total? I participated by fully illuminating my house and yard.

Clearly, they don't account for the counter-actvists who double or triple their power consumption that night, and not for just an hour...
