Only an hour, please help out...
For people too lazy to read... It's from 8:30 - 9:30 Your time-zone. Just don't use power...
;)
Let's see if this has an impact.
what? i am asleep then anyways.
fuck, I was gonna do that.... but forgot. doh!
coooool
I managed to do this for 30 minutes before I got way too bored. I probably shouldn't have eaten those 2 bags of skittles beforehand.
I added another 45 minutes... I read by candle light, it was actually pretty relaxing.
impossible missions for pc users with no UPS

prove how much energy could be saved by going without power for one hour. another good hippy idea gone wrong. i say this because things like this tend to turn people off, rather than their power. i think too many people cant see past their front lawn
I was totally in Vegas sucking the shit out of some power.
I totally forgot and i had my music playing a lot while i was playing Deftones, Rammstein and System of a Down in my guitar...
sorry mother earth...
ass hole
yeah you could have made an actual difference. jerk.
what the hell...
being in vegas isn't goin to hel tho...
i don't want to make difference anyways...
haha just joking man. but really your a pesting disgrace to the planet :D
yeah, i got the joke, ;D
but i really forgot that (earth hour), i really was about to unplug all my things, but i totally forgot that :-\ :-\

are you trying to say that I'm going to hell for being in Vegas? Because I'm going back tonight. Maybe Lucifer has a special layer for nefarious souls like mine.
I believe the benifit of earth hour is to give awareness to the homeowner... When they see the spike in energy use with their next bill they consider turning off more shit when not in use...

good. i like your thinking
I don't think that one hour of zero energy use would show up on my bill at all.
People are just ass holes. I obviously attract the kind of ( unfortunately ) stereotypical right wing conservative Sean Hannity loving personalities. And they always get all offended when I talk about recycling or conserving energy or electric cars or whatever. I'm like, " what on earth is the down side of taking better care of our planet? Regardless of if global warming is true or not?" None of them ever answer. But they go on just as ignorant as ever anyways. Seriously, what does it hurt to turn the lights off when you leave a room? Good people too. Just some people are so stuck in one frame of mind, and its really hard to break.
GOD, you should see the rage in their eyes when I say Jesus wasn't real. lol. Today my friend called me out and said I was being blasphemous because I was going to put muslim on my dog tags so that I dont get beheaded if I get captured. I was like " I can't blasphemies god if he isn't real" He just covered his ears and walked out the room. Lol, I know that has nothing to do with anything. Just thought I would share.
Back to people doing the absolute minimum to feeling good about themselves.
where i live, the walk/ride your bike/take public transportation to work day has been by far more successful in raising awareness about energy consumption than earth hour...at least in my opinion. perhaps only because it is more widely reported on, and actively visible than turning off power, but it seems to have more of an effect.
in my opinion, society today is fucking retarded when it comes to the most simple of ways to contribute to the planet. recycle your paper, plastics, aluminum, etc. ride a bike or take a bus to your job if it's feasible and available. turn off your electronics when not in use. most important, educate yourself about what you use and where you get. stop shopping at walmart and buy locally those products that can be bought locally.
it would only take about 5-10 extra minutes a week to perform these simple functions that should be routine anyway.
