Re: Earth Hour
I remember 1980 something when the music people did a concert to save the world from hunger. So now there's no hunger. What a load of bollocks. This is the same. The only way we humans will survive for the long term is to annihilate 50% of the world's population, then not procreate.

We did it ..... and we only missed the first period of the Flames game.
I think the city centre lights were out too, along with most of our neighbours it certainly looked a lot darker out there last night!

Re: Earth Hour
We had a lovely hour playing frustration with the kids by candlelight followed by (I kid you not) a sing song by the piano!
They loved it and wanted us to do it next Saturday night as well. Only problem is that I miss the end of "I'll do anything"!

Re: Earth Hour
So is anyone going to do Earth Millennium? Or Earth year or Earth whatever. No. That's it now. Back to the huge hydro usage.
Back to real life.

Wasted a candle though.

There was plenty of light coming from the LCD TV upstairs, the plasma in the basement, daughter's Guitar Hero blasting out, the cooker going, the fridge freezers all going.......

Re: Earth Hour
Yes I know its a drop in the ocean , but it really made us aware of how many lights are left on in empty rooms and things are left on stand by around the house
Our generation is screwed as far as being environmentally aware but if kids can get an appreciation of saving energy it can only be for the better surely?
