Earth Hour is an international event that asks households and businesses to turn off their lights and non-essential electrical appliances for one hour on the evening of March 29 at 8 pm local time until 9 pm to promote electricity conservation and thus lower carbon emissions.

Anyone did this? I honestly didn't know about it until today.
Aaliyah is more than a woman and she graduated with a 4.0 GPA (she only had 1 "C" grade ever in her life).
I bolded and underlined the "is" just for you, Malacite.

Re: Earth Hour
An attempt was made by my household, but I had my computer and ceiling fan on.. So the earth will probably die a minute later than it normally would have... but since Electricity doesn't really have much to do with saving the planet (Unless its generated by coal or oil) it seems a bit redundant to me. They should have called it "Power Saver Hour" Or something silly to that effect.c:x:x:x:x{{:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::>

Re: Earth Hour
It's about the Carbon Emissions, not the Electricity.

I didn't know about it either. I wasn't home though, so I guess I participated without even knowing it.Comment

Re: Earth Hour
Yes, I knew about this...
I turned on extra lights between 8pm and 9pm though!
Kekekekekekekekeee!
Actually no, didn't do anything special.
You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be misqouted and then used against you.

Re: Earth Hour
Yeah my city went a lil extreme with it...employed a few dozen officers for traffic control and turned off some downtown street, building lights and stop lights. About 8:30 a nice 4 car pile up happened at the north end of town and a police car colision with a 15 passenger van occured.
yeah great for the earth
...its the obese people and china that in this world are contributing more to global warming more than anything...The carbon emissions coming from china is 10x more than the US.

I thanked you just so I could remove it for a different reason, Mal.
People are still buying in to this global warming crap? Seriously?Last edited by Yellow Mage; 03-30-2008, 09:59 AM. Reason: Granted, that doesn't mean we shouldn't monitor emissions at all, but we're doing it for the wrong reasons. What we should be doing it for is to not end up like Beijing.Originally posted by ArmandoOriginally posted by ArmandoOriginally posted by TaskmageMatthew 16:15Originally posted by TaskmageComment

Re: Earth Hour
Yeah...I honestly think there's a global cooling going on. Since spring came Minneasota has had 3 winter storms totalling over 3' of snow and thats since the 1st day of spring and a few days of 50+ degree weather. I'd think with the ever growing threat of global warming we'd maintain warmer weather...Originally posted by Yellow Mage View Post

Re: Earth Hour
The evidence of global warming is sparse, if there is any truth to it at all. A bigger problem might be the Ozone disintegrating, but only because of the excess U.V. radiation it lets in. Personally, in Colorado we had more snow this year then the past three years combined.Originally posted by EllipsesOriginally posted by MCLVMore Sig:Comment

Re: Earth Hour
This event is/was incredibly stupid. If you want to be environmentally helpful, raise awareness to get people to use better energy sources (and use poor energy sources as little as possible), not a token event. Hell, tell people to keep flashlights by their beds and get rid of their nightlights and you've probably already done more good than this did.
It would also be more effective to just get people to turn all their lights off before they go to sleep; plus it can't possibly inconvenience them, and will save them (an admittedly marginal amount of) money too. It's still not going to do shit for light pollution, though, until someone starts doing something about street/business lights.
Also, the stupidity in this thread is painful.Comment
