    Default Earth Hour

    Are you going to turn off your lights 8.30p and 9.30p?

    No, I am going to burn me some fossil fuels and spray some aerosols into the sky instead.

    Nope, I'll be playing FFXIII on my brand new 1080p HD display with surround sound and three lamps on in the room.

    My house will be empty at that time, so yep. At the same time, however, I'll be using about 100 times more energy at work.

    *Scoff* What? *Poke* Why do you think it's a dumb idea? *Jab* I, personally, like having a lower electricity bill. *Laugh*

    You all disgust me.

    But in an adorable sort of way.

    Wait, what? I am just hearing of this.

    I will turn out my lights when I go to sleep. How 'bout that?

    It's already come and gone for us here and I forgot this year! I was on vacation and we were all watching an Iron Chef re-run at the time!

    I did not participate in Earth Hour because the concept is ridiculous. I turn off my lights when they are not necessary to have on and that is my contribution to lowering the use of electricity throughout the world. My bill was $18 last month so it seems to be working for me.

    What Bunny said.

    I actually did turn off the lights though, while I was watching a movie on my plasma TV that uses somewhere around 300-400 watts. I think my PS3 was on too, along with quite a few computers.

    90% of my electricity bill is from heating up my apartment in this god forsaken glacier known as norway anyway, not from lighting up where ever it is I'm sitting.
