Instead of blowing out the candles, she can blow out the lights.

i was quite shocked.
anything to turn it into an "anti-hippi" right wing movement...
how hard is it to just turn out your lights for fucks sake?
and if national landmarks and buildings are doing it, either get involved with the events or dont, don't start up the stupid global warming argument... jeez.

"Life Is What Happens To You When Your Busy Making Other Plans" John Lennon
I took Astronomy in college just 3 years ago, and earned an A. Earth is a ginormous rock which warms when it is nearer the sun, and cools when it is further. My lamp does not affect that in any way.
As George Carlin once said, there's nothing wrong with the planet, it's the people who are fucked up. The planet will be around a long time after humans, it's not going anywhere... we are.
Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. - Louis Brandeis
I don't think it is an "anti-hippi right wing movement" thing but I think the whole idea of Earth Hour is a giant waste of time. I mean people are turning of lights only (which use a lot less electricity then most other electrical appliances in a house) and they are doing it on a weekend evening when electricity demand is much lower then it would be during the week. If they really wanted to have an earth hour that actually lowered the demand for electricity, why not have it on a Tuesday afternoon in August and tell people and businesses to shut off their lights and air conditioning. The way it is set up now it is the ultimate lip service action against climate change that doesn't really do anything. Its like people can shut off their lights for an hour a year, and then think they have done their part until the next year.
And the thing is you dont really have to do it all at the same time.
Instead of your family sitting under lights watching the box you could all light some candles, talk, play games etc.
to those who reckon its a hippie thing and its about global warming. Think about the planet not that we are warming but that we all are using more and more recourses to fuel our lifestyles, our toys. the planets recourses are not infinite.
regardless of warming we all need to think about it.
Am I a hippie??? NO I work in the mining industry, I help to rape our planet of its recourses. but at the same time in many small ways I have changed the way my workplace uses other recourses like paper, packing etc.
all I say is stop to think
thats all

did you watch the Carwin fight last night ? 3-27-10
Godfather.
I kind of agree with you - I think the whole gesture of turning the lights off is just a gimmick. People will still have their tvs/computers etc on so i's not going to change anything.
Not even sure what the point was really - to save power? to raise awareness? to do both? Will anything change as a result of it? I doubt it. It's just one of those big gimmicky gestures that don't achieve anything in the long term.
Having said this I did turn the lights off early that night, but only because I had a migraine lol.

i love it how people find themselves so put out by others taking part in a cool event...
people who want to fight about global warming are just looking for an excuse for their irresponsibility.
am i saying you need to "believe" in global warming? no.
i'm saying maybe you should take a look around at the smog and the pollution the dying seas and the stripped forests and fossil fuels and realise its not just about a political debate on whether or not the climate problem is our faults.
surely the plastic in the seas and the pollution in the skies aren't part of natural trends 10,000 years ago?
anyways, earth hour is growing and i hope it grows, they're not asking you to go out and plant trees or clean up oil spills, just have a good time and see what its like to turn out your lights for an hour :roll:
i guess this land is yours and this land is free otherwise, isn't it...
