QuoteOn Saturday, March 29, 2008, Earth Hour invites people around the world to turn off their lights for one hour ? from 8:00pm to 9:00pm in their local time zone. On this day, cities around the world, including Copenhagen, Chicago, Melbourne, Dubai, and Tel Aviv, will hold events to acknowledge their commitment to energy conservation.

no, because i find the concept to be silly.

yes, you should conserve energy, but for economic benefit.  there's nothing pointing to humans contributing mass amounts to global warming.  it's a natural cycle.

Yeah, it may suck for us, but Greenland is loving it.

And humans ARE doing something. Frequent  major rises in carbon dioxide started around the time of the Industrial Revolutions.

And no, I will not be doing that.

The only thing I will do is unplug my laptop charger, and turn off my wii (completely off, not standby).

yes, humans are doing something, but it's completely minimal to the amount that the earth is doing by itself.


when i start feeling global warming up here in manitoba, I'll start to care.

but I'll want it to keep happening by that point.

Well, it's about half-way through the hour in CST.

Also, Chowder is a breath of fresh air when it comes to what else is on CN.

Fuck the planet. I'm leaving all my lights on and turning them on even if I'm not using them. :|

I was at a party at that time, so no I didn't participate.

Wait, but the lights were off there and they were off at my house!
So technically, I did participate!  :O
