| 759483 | 2009-03-26 05:13:00 | Found this on wikipedia: (en.wikipedia.org) Earth Hour is an annual international event created by the WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature/World Wildlife Fund), held on the last Saturday of March, that asks households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change. It was pioneered by WWF Australia and the Sydney Morning Herald in 2007,[1] and achieved worldwide participation in 2008. Mum wants us to participate, but the idea of walking around in the dark just seems mental :eek: Plus it will mean no computer for an hour :eek: |

| 759484 | 2009-03-26 07:53:00 | Ha Haaaa Here's an out: ......asks households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and electrical appliances for one hour...... Well, it's absolutely essential that I watch the Crusaders beat the Stormers on Sat night, so I will be leaving the TV on. And I need to have the lights on, otherwise I might stumble when I stagger to the fridge to get the next beer.............. On the other hand, there is absolutely no need to have any other lights on in the house. So, while I think the whole thing is a load of cobblers, I will be participating anyhow. |

| 759485 | 2009-03-26 07:55:00 | I guess the whole idea of it has raised a lot of awareness for the issue they're promoting - so even if you don't participate, the campaign has worked :) | somebody (208) | ||
| 759486 | 2009-03-26 22:12:00 | Ill be at work running my 52 monitors with individual dvrs and our own self supported server room that holds our pcs and cameras and storage, as well as a back up system should the power be cut. Oh and the coffee machine and the stereo and the ps3 and the phone chargers etc |

| 759487 | 2009-03-26 22:31:00 | Doesn't really make sense to me turning off lights. Electricity is generated from a renewable resource. Wouldn't it be better to have say, no vehicles on the road (or similar) for one hour? That would be much more productive from an emissions "save the planet" point of view. | Wheels (7227) | ||
| 759488 | 2009-03-26 22:37:00 | I suppose natural gas is renewable on a long enough time scale. | shermo (12739) | ||
| 759489 | 2009-03-26 23:44:00 | I think Wheels was talking about natural liquid, ie. water :) | Nermal (7077) | ||
