it's all over the news lol i had not heard of it till i saw the news but it's tonight at 8 everyone is supposed to turn off there lights and tv's ect. australia did it and went dark lol

I'll bet Al Gore's not turning the lights off, but I'm not either. Today, even here at my house in the Northwoods, the sun generated 20 kilowatt-hours of juice. If everyone who could afford that did it, we wouldn't need Earth Hours.

Never heard of it. But I'll turn off all the lights and watch a BD

Well, it was good enough for Google, so I went through my house and turned all my lights ON. I'm sick and tired of the green buzzword.

I was watching Catch Me If You Can on ABC HD at 8. Sorry Earth.

Yea i ruined the world.

I constantly turn off lights around the house.

Agitates me sometimes because I realize it's a big part of what I do in general and I wish there was something better to do with my time and energy. Trying to save energy and money is taking too much of my time.

But,.. saving energy is saving money and all the Watts I save can be put to use in the HT later.

Wow dude that was so clever. Next time you should add in "M$" (because they like money) and add in a few

to get your point across more
