    This is really a stupid idea .. if u turn ur lights off for an hour and rest of the day u keep them turn on for useless things .. actually it will be gud if u pledge to turn off ur lights when there is no need of it !!

    The place where I live is prone to power cuts and the state government itself is forcing almost all of its residents to go without power for almost 2 hours a day. Hence, there is no point in celebrating the earth hour in our context as we practice it on a day today basis. It is only for those people who don't know what is a "power cut" or "load shedding" :D

    We should save it daily by switching off all the appliances which are not to be used. :)

    You're right, why is it specifically 8.30-9.30 pm? Anyways, we turn off the lights daily for 1 hr maybe sometime.. Instead, they should have asked us to Turn off the lights for 1 hr anytime in the day :rolleyes:

    And 5 minutes later, everybody goes about their own business and, in the morning, no one remembers anymore. Another pointless moment.

    I am turning off everything. lighting some candles and reading a book. It's an hour people and it's to show that we are willing to change things and do something to help save the planet.

    I'm going to yell at my girlfriend to turn the lights off. That should save the world plenty of energy.

    We already generate a large quantity from solar panels and use efficient appliances.
