    Had the lights off, but not my choice, the gf has been fooled into all this global warming crap, I'm all for reducing energy consumption, but not for the reasons Earth Hour was created for.

    Well let her know the truth on how coal fired power plants work then and why this was a waste of time. Knowledge is power. The key to lowering emissions lays down the lazy and even xenophobic ignorant paths.

    You also might want to brush up on some of the perks of living in the 21st century, that being the technological achievement of artifical light. I for one am not regressing back to an era of pre-electricity because some greenies with an $ agenda $ are spreading lies.

    Well my brother is convinced we will all be wiped out by a meteor in 2023. So he didn't even bother.

    Paul, the Victorian Government got behind it, but the City of Melbourne didn't actually sign up to it.

    None actually. He used to work in a lab and a co-worker showed him some study he found somewhere. He is seriously convinced it's going to happen. So much so he now works in a service station about 25hrs a week so he can enjoy the rest of his life instead of being stuck in some lab working all night.
