Answer 9

One hour isn't going to change our ways

As far as the whole 'raising awareness' thing goes; we're already having it shoved down our throats constantly, I don't think we can be any more aware!

Edit: Gotta side with the voice of reason here, I'm having a party!

Answer 10

Absolutely, my planned activities are:

1) Turn on all of my lights

2) Take a long hot shower

3) Drive my Hummer to the nearby sports bar

4) Hoist a few while watching sports on their 72 inch plasma TV

5) Take a taxi home (because I will not drive after drinking).

The following morning, I'll take a taxi back to pick up the Hummer.

If this sounds like great fun, please feel free to join me.

Answer 11

This will be fun!

I'm cranking my heat WAY up, and turning on ALL the lights in my house!

Then I'll take a hot shower, until all the hot water runs out!

It's gunna be GREAT!

Answer 12

I'm doing it.

Glad others are too.

Answer 13

Hi,

I live in Sydney and participated in Earth Hour last year. It was a great success.

It's only the lights we switch off, not all the power outlets in business and homes. We had a candle lite dinner and watched TV.

I have signed up for Earth Hour this year and looking forward to joining in again tomorrow night here in Sydney. Hope you sign up and join in as well.
