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?

She has alterior motives. Probably got a widescreen DVD of Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing. Realises he would look great on a BIG screen. Check it out with her, she'll deny it of course.

Re: Earth Hour
Of course my favourite part was when I put on a halloween mask, put a torch under my chin and scared the living daylights out of the kids,
(oh, I am evil) but I did had two kids running back screaming for more.

Re: Earth Hour
I was listening to a guy on the radio who was laughed at for saying prettymuch the same thing. One of his points were that if the average number of children went from the average 2.4 per family to 2.0 each then we'd automatically be reducing the energy use of the next generation by almost 20% to start with.
I believe the guy has a point.
