    Default Earth Hour

    So how'd the rest of you go?

    We turned off everything electrical in our house except for the fridges, telephone and fish tank filter.

    We spent the hour playing chess. Took a photo but I accidentally deleted it! GYAAAARGH! Anyway, here are the photos that survived.







    And no, that's not a beeswax candle. I looked through three different shops for candles and only one stocked them, and none of them were labelled as beeswax candles.

    Lights on as usual.

    I'm not ignorant to the facts.

    Turned off most of the stuff same as Gok but maintained access to the outside world though Laptop and similar devices

    Let's keep in mind that this is every bit as important from a symbolic point of view as any other.

    Was cooking/eating dinner during part of that hour, but I'm leaving the lights off the rest of the night otherwise.

    did it again this year, left the fridge on and went for a walk

    last year i rode around on my bike shouting at houses that had lights on, some badman threw a lighter at me, jerkwad was killing my planet

    They should make it mandatory and shut down the grid, old and disadvantaged people could be shunted off to community halls, hey it encourages community spirit from like the 50's when people tipped their hats- at the halls they could be educated into saving water and being less like jerks

    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.
