What can i do for an hour sat in the dark?

Question

On March 29th people around the world will be turning out their lights between 8pm and 9pm to make a global commitment to tackle climate change. Any whacky ideas on how to kill an hour, sat in the dark with my mates?

Answer 1

Realize how much we depend on modern technology to live and appreciate it even more. Maybe we should do the same with running water, to realize how much we depend on it and take care of it.

Answer 2

Turning off the lights for an hour will tackle climate change?

Don't be daft. But if I was daft enough to fall for it I'd probably  have a crafty wnak hoping my mates wouldn't notice 'cause they'd probably be doing it too.

Answer 3

How about continuing where you've started off. Soo

1) Using the time to petition neighbours/ walkers about a cause you feel strongly about

2) Go somewhere and litter pick

3) Anything but drive, with your mates to somewhere new

4) relax and enjoy the opportunity for quiet!

and to those who suggested a huge fire . . . I think you're missing the point!

Answer 4

turn your lights off permanently open your blinds, your paying for the light in the street. ask your counsel to change the bulb so you can see better, at 500kWh it is cheaper to to use as well, (you get discounts for bulk buying electricity). as for what you can do to experience you inner and outer environment in the dark, well? the dark is great though to do that you would need to walk a great distance. about seven miles you can still see light pollution. looks pretty cool on cloudy nights especially low cloud cover.

Answer 5

It will be light out here!

Grab a flashlight and fill it with Vaseline.

Answer 10

Answer 11

Light candles up and do drink-ups, play poker (any card games if you wish), if you have an Ipod/mp3/mp4 and so on - get your Computer speakers or if you already have portable speakers crank it up and start singing to your favorite songs (scream if you dare so the whole neighborhood can go insane), oh! play a truth or dare game but for the dare make the person eat things that are gross or disgusting?and yea.. i can't figure out anymore but if i do i'll holla out  again xD

Answer 12

yeah,i got one DONT BOTHER you and ya tree huggers will achive nothing.

Tell you what i will put on an extra light just for you

Answer 13

I haven't heard anything about this.

Who is this statement aimed at?

Is there likely to be enough people taking part to make even a blip on the international power-use statistics?

Interesting theory.

I would sleep, sh*g, snog, or scare with ghost stories.

Or, if an hour is enough, do a bit of each ;-)

Answer 14

Play a game? tell haunted stories?

Answer 15

You should sit in the dark and meditate.  Do some yogic breathing and clear your mind.  It's not at all wacky as most of us don't have much "me" time to really chill out.  Enjoy!

Answer 16

Play hide and seek in the dark! Or try to scare each other by telling stories...or play truth or dare or something!!! Have fun!

Answer 17

well it depends on the gender of the mates, if you have any female mate you can make it romantic or playful by turning on candles and playing sth like spinning bottle.

If it is a boys night you can play cards or tell spooky stories

If you are in the spiritual mood, you can do meditation

You can calll someone you havent seen in ages so probably you will spend an hour speaking on the phone

Tons of things to do!

Answer 18

tell stories lol , get everyone screaming ...

i didnt know everyone was turning there lights off ...

Answer 19

Imagine no longer what it's like being blind, and try and navigate around your own house. Then go outside and get a big fire on the go, few toasted marshmallows, booze etc.

Answer 20

Depends on your sexual preferences, I would have thought.
