Earth Hour 2008 - Turn off your lights

From the WWF website: Created to take a stand against the greatest threat our planet has ever faced, Earth Hour uses the simple action of turning off the lights for one hour to deliver a powerful message about the need for action on global warming.

This simple act has captured the hearts and minds of people all over the world. As a result, at 8pm [local time] on the 29 March, 2008 millions of people in some of the world's major capital cities, including Copenhagen, Toronto, Chicago, Melbourne, Brisbane, Tel Aviv and Manila will unite and switch off for Earth Hour.

San Fran will be offing the vanity lights on the Golden Gate bridge, and hey for an hour i can do my part and play online games in the dark. However little it is, do Something.


I do find that amusing... continue using your pc/console, which uses 100s of Watts of power while turning off your light which (it is an energy efficient one isn't it?) uses, what, 10, 15W. Amusing indeed. What about reading a book for an hour... by candle light?

We plan to do this tonight, although I think we'll have to leave the night lights on in the kid's rooms, they do get a little scared... but yeah, we can live without lights for an hour... And hurray for Australia leading the way in yet another great initiative... dangit that it was Sydney, the bastards ... but hey, still Aussie
