Who is going to participate in Earth Hour today at 8 p.m?

Question

Major cities around the earth today and last night will shut off the lights in homes and stores and national landmarks, for one hour to conserve energy on our planet!! Will you participate?

Answer 1

I participate 24-7-365… and have for over 10 years.  I have 5 acres in the Pacific NW woods. I don’t have a well, I collect rain and snow run off from all the buildings and store it in 1000 gallon tanks and an above ground pool for use during the summer, even supporting a small garden.  All lights (accept solar yard lights) off all night after bed time, only electric appliances are high efficiency fridge, freezer, TV, and computer (no A/C).  Monthly elec bill runs less than $40. Heat with wood in a high efficiency wood stove (no ash, never have to clean the chimney, never smokes).  Use 100 gallons propane a year for water heating and cooking.  I have 2 motorcycles and a 35 mpg Toyota pickup.  

If everyone lived like me Exxon (don’t forget the boycott) and all the other energy hemorrhoids would have died out years ago….  The entire “energy crisis” is in fact a contrived monopoly to suck more revenue from the public.

Answer 8

We participated.  I think it's a good opportunity to raise awareness, and our kids learn something about caring for our environment too.  I know alot of people say "it's just one hour once a year so it's not worth it", but if it convinces one person to think and then turn off lights when they aren't in the room every other day of the year then it's worth it.  Eventually alot more people will take notice as they see the difference one hour once a year can make and hopefully implement it into thier daily life.

One person CAN make a difference, and every little bit helps.
