yeah, im gonna do my part by turning off my lights off to anyone's doin' it?

 

[exclamatio]

people shouldnt be turning their lights off for an hour and kidding themselves they are saving the world. they need lifestyle changes, anyone can turn off some appliances for an hour. How about living without power sucking non essentials, or at least cutting down for good?

 

[Luxury]

Im doing it too

 

[patrickisit]

I only have my lights on at night.
And my sky box turns it self to stand-by automaticly.
And anything I'm not using is off.

So, I'm doing my bit already.

But turning your lights off for an hour, isnt gunna do anythng.

Is this the thing that Google encouraged people to do last year?
To bad I didn't get a chance to do it.

They have this every single year but it never helps. I dont possibly see how turning off electricity for one hour can save us. We will not only use up that amount that was saved but probably even more.

Honestly, I'm going to forget. An hour won't do much though.

i use solar power, and my eletricity i buy comes from wind energy, so ya i already did my part.

 

[Ambrosiax]

If everyone powered on their house all at once would that use up major energy?
Or would it be the same as every house already powered on?

i think its not about the exact thing of turning lights off for an hour... thats more like a symbol to make people conserve energy anytime.

Fuck that's the most useless thing ever. I'll just leave my stuff turned off when I'm in college, out with my friends or asleep, I'm sure that helps more than just turning it off an hour just to feel like I'm helping the world out when in reality it's not making a bit of a difference...

Switching my computer to power saving mode as we speak.

 

[HeartHazard]

lol ill have everything off but my comp
1hour is not much time
if they did this everyday for everyone around the US
then the lifestyle should change little by little this way makes it to SLOW

 

[HeavenlyGifted]

I think it would be hard in our place to turn of our lights.
Especially people here are hard headed.

 

[c4cadvisor]

if you really want ppl to take earth day seriously, switch over from coal power to wind, water, and solar power. Make me a panel for moonlight as well, and make each of them more cost effective than coal. I'll use em.

Gotta agree with this, instead of just an hour why not a lifetime? After this hour is up we'll return to our ignorant energy-consuming ways. Still, it's at least some way of getting people to do their bit.

+1 point
Sorry but i have to be honest

 

[blyddlyl]

They should do it everyday for an hour. How dumb to do it once a year for just 1hour. Practically useless.
