I will keep all my lights on just to spite energy conservation. And then I will eat a dolphin and club a baby seal.
I will be sleeping, so I'm not bothered. :jess:
Wait, what do you mean that the lights will be "turned off"?? Global blackout!?
I thought it was 8pm wherever you were?
A link would be useful, at your convenience of course.
Eh, what has the Earth done for me lately?

I will participate in this, as will the rest of the college that I go to. :p
Im afraid of the dark :(
I shall comment using a Family guy quote:
"Here look, do you want this gorilla. *looks at stuffed animal* It says that if you buy one they'll save a gorilla from the wild.. and if you dont, they kill one. wow, these guys are really playing hard-ball."
My lights are off for approximately sixteen hours a day. I do enough.
Well, sorry for not including a headline link or site to prove my point. but thanks to those who will / have actually done it.
Although I realize it's about observing an actual worldwide effort more than the one hour out of millions, I don't see how it helps that much. It raises awareness, yes. But in the same way as awareness is raised to children in kindergarten. I actually am more recently doing many things to detract from the negative effect I have on the planet, and I feel good in doing so, but the problem is that people don't really care enough to do more than these little pop culture things. Sure there are resources available for those that wish to pursue them, but most will 'flick off' or 'shut down' or whatever and then forget until the TV or newspaper tells them to do it again. This saddens me and perhaps can account for a lot of the jaded responses you may receive.
I just turned my lights back on half an hour or so ago. The lack of lights didn't bother me. Me and my boyfriend just had sex instead :p
I reiterate:
I shall crush the earth under my vast mechanical boot of iron and steel. Industry shall prevail. A single city of trillions shall encompass all the land on Earth; nature is our tool to be used and dispensed with as we see fit.
Earth First! We'll pave the other planets later!
