camille65 -> Earth Hour (3/29/2008 6:41:02 AM)
http://www.google.com/ Eeep. It went all dark. I guess about 375 cities worldwide will be doing this.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/03/29/lights.out.ap/index.html A little more information, and I was wrong on the city count lol. Oops.

...I never leave lights on to make it look like I am home. But then too I hardly go anywhere.

domahpet -> RE: Earth Hour (3/29/2008 8:08:18 AM)
my hippy children will have fun with this. lil protesters- like hold up signs at the end of the drivway saying things like "HONK IF YOURE GOING TO THE BEACH" im sure we'll be using candles tonight ;) (http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/03/29/lights.out.ap/index.html to the right of your very cool link is a free amber alert notice for your cell phones, i like that too)

I think its cool how this is spreading everywhere, this idea and realization that it is a global issue. Even places in China are going dark.My lights will be off (pc on lol) and candles used. Its a great reason to use those candles that seem to gather and never get lit!

Kirren -> RE: Earth Hour (3/29/2008 9:35:27 AM)
I think its great...but honestly. The earth houses us 365 days a year...why does it only get one hour of rest?

Gwynvyd -> RE: Earth Hour (3/29/2008 9:47:16 AM)
chuckles I was just about to blog about this... Thanks for posting this! I found a way cool website on it http://www3.earthhourus.org/ We will be dark here. Gwyn

*We are participating as well for the evening, we are doing candles, will be doing board games or reading by them--- building a fire and will be cooking in the fireplace, dinner by candlelight.* *I hope everyone does this and really stops to think about what we are doing to the world.*

While I support the organizer’s efforts, I shake my head wondering what they were thinking when they scheduled it opposite the “biggest and most profitable event in collegiate sports” (http://www.america.gov/st/educ-english/2008/March/200803181835481CJsamohT0.6626703.html). It seems that March Madness ranks third, behind only the Super Bowl and the Olympics in most watched events. Obviously there are many who could care less about BB /Sports but the scheduling lost millions that may have otherwise participated.

i don't know really. it sounds like a good idea to me but it also sounds alot like another earth day thing.if people really wanted to make a difference with this sort of thing why limit it to just one day or night?

domahpet -> RE: Earth Hour (3/31/2008 6:59:46 AM)
ok, my hippy kids arent as anal as i thought, we HAD to leave the tv on becquse Nic's Kid Choice Awards was on [sm=tongue.gif]

faerytattoodgirl -> RE: Earth Hour (3/31/2008 7:08:40 AM)
while this might have saved energy....IMAGINE all the CRIME that has happened in this hour!!!! think of all the stores that got robbed during this time...and all the muggings on the streets since no lights....and those are just the simple crimes.

MichiganHeadmast -> RE: Earth Hour (3/31/2008 8:06:06 AM)
I was on the road but I turned off my headlines in honor of the event.

badprofessor -> RE: Earth Hour (3/31/2008 8:06:15 AM)
A little paranoid, no?

luckydog1 -> RE: Earth Hour (3/31/2008 10:32:28 AM)
It was still light outside here, so it kind of defeated the purpose....
