Will you be participating in Earth Hour as planned (globally)...Or is it all nonsense?

Question

The momentum is building for Earth Hour--8 to 9 pm, March 29, 2008--the global movement to shut off the lights for one hour to make a bold statement about climate change. More and more individuals, businesses, and even cities are planning to participate. Together, we'll deliver a powerful message to the citizens and leaders of the world about the need for action on climate change.

Earth Hour is an opportunity for each one of us to take action, influence others and start a wave of change that alters the course of climate change. But turning off your lights is just the beginning.

Answer 1

I intend to participate fully, by turning on all of my lights and raising them to full brightness, turning on my stove, microwave and expresso machine, taking several hot baths, doing some laundry, and opening and closing my garage doors several times.  

I urge you to join me.

Answer 2

I signed up to do this a couple weeks ago, actually.

Answer 3

**** that

Answer 4

I think it is very cool. I would love to participate, but I will probably forget. Instead I think I will plant a tree.

Answer 5

Definitely.  Think globally, act locally.  I think it will be a magic time because it gives people the opportunity to express how they feel about the planet on a large scale.  I'm going for a walk that night.  Luckily, I live in a small seaside town in northern Australia so I can do it safely.  

I'm going to eat salad that night so I don't have to turn on the stove, not drive the car that day, not shower (!), and stay away from the computer.

Don't forget your candles!

Answer 6

yeah. ummm no. How can i read in the dark.... i mean you can't read hotrod Magazine with a lamp..... maybe we can start using whale oil instead again or is that too bad as well? I still don't get how people think we can affect climate change when we are soo small in this huge planet. h**l there are places man has never seen still ( oceans deep in the bayous down south, Wilderness Alaska) i mean we think that we can control it all when really it just a cycle.
