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.
