skinny Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 I'm going to tie up my kids for the day. the amount we save due to no lights/tv on will be way more than the hours worth. this will also save me from having to run around the house 30 times turning stuff off. They have been told and told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigugli Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) Just another media hype crock of doodoo. No different than Earth Day. Spend a day doing environmental penance so we can carry on as usual the other 364 Kinda like telling a mobster that all sins can be forgiven with a couple of Hail Mary's and a Novina or two for good measure.

Joey Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 There's actually a guy in Richmond Hill who has rented 4 huge spot lights for his yard. He says he did it last year, turned all his lights on, had the spot lights and a huge BBQ and all his neighbours came and then some. Said he had some hippies show up to ask him why and he offered them a burger but they refused, so he said he's gonna cook some tofu ones this year too, just in case they show up again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cram Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 We'll turn out the lights and the tv. Light some candles and pour a bottle of wine. Guess it makes me a "left wing socialist ass", but I usually enjoy earth hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
