Earth Hour

[Willamena]

You may or may not know it, but Saturday March 29 at 8pm is Earth Hour.

On March 29, 2008 at 8 p.m., join millions of people around the world in making a statement about climate change by turning off your lights for Earth Hour, an event created by the World Wildlife Fund.

We invite everyone throughout North America and around the world to turn off the lights for an hour starting at 8 p.m. (your own local time)–whether at home or at work, with friends and family or solo, in a big city or a small town.

Join people all around the world in showing that you care about our planet and want to play a part in helping to fight climate change. Don’t forget to sign up and let us know you want to join Earth Hour.

I didn't know...

I might consider that, if I remember... However, I don't think I'll be able to get my parents and sister to comply...

Or, you can do something meaningful ...

Or, you can do something meaningful ...

Do you not think this meaningful?

I think it's demonstrative and leaves people with the sense of being part of something which, of course, is all well and good. I suspect, however, that far too many participants will not be using that hour of darkness to change their light bulbs.

Things like this do tend to get more people involved in a movement, and perhaps some of those who start this way will go on to do much more for a cause.

It is much more symbolic of trying to raise awareness then anything....

It should make for an interesting Assembly meeting this evening. I guess I'll send my husband with the oil lamp and a few spare candles.

Screw Earth hour and the whole man made global warming lie. That's my take on it.

Don't taze me bro! Amen

 

[Bishka]

Don't taze me bro! Amen

So humans have absolutely nothing to do with it and we can screw and rape the earth?

Well, if you screw Earth Hour you're certainly contributing to global warming, so you're screwed. *nods* That's my take on it.

Be good stewards of the land is the PC way I like to say:yes:

I want global warming. I want to grow palms in Alaska.

I think it should have been renamed "Earth's Various Time Zones Hour".
