You turning off your lights tonight?

I haven't decided if I'll do it for Earth Hour at 8:30

No.

I'm not convinced an hour of darkness is really going to save the world.

I turn off lights when I don't use them anyway, so, yes?

For every light that's turned off, I'm turning on two.

I need a lot of lights.

I will be turning on every light and TV in my house during earth hour. I will also go out and drive my SUV around for a solid hour.

Hey, the douche police called...

wrong number.

Oh wait, they called again- You're a douche.

My lights would have been off anyway; who the hell just leaves lights on for no reason? The only thing that I keep on when I'm not around is my laptop, because it's constantly torrenting stuff.

Also, nobody uses incandescents anymore. My primary source of light for when I'm studying, etc. is a bloody 5-watt LED bulb. Oh no, surely not using that 0.005 kWh of energy is going to save the planet.

TBH Earth Hour is pretty stupid. But hey, it's something that requires no actual effort and gives people a warm fuzzy feeling that they're doing something to help the environment, so of course it's popular.

I went upstairs quickly, made sure my laptop was plugged in and draining energy, turned on my light. Didn't turn off the TV upstairs even though I wasn't watching it. Went back downstairs turned on the lights and cranked Rock Band 2 as loud as a I could.

I had my minute of protest by illuminating every light in the house.

I had to turn them all off to avoid a monumental electric bill.

I turned out my lights for twenty minutes of Earth Hour, but for the other forty minutes I was lit the **** up.

*facepalm*

The entire internet is missing the point of this. No one is saying that by turning our lights off for an hour, we're going to save the planet. It's a symbolic gesture, like wearing rainbow colors to support gay pride, or wearing a stupid little wristband to say that you support cancer (or.. DON'T support cancer I guess).

Those wristbands aren't going to cure cancer.

I left home, and almost left one light on, but then remembered this and turned it off.

I was at Watchmen, so the lights at the house were off.

This was actually supposed to be a drinking-related pun, but I'm not sure it really came through.

The truth is that I was out of the house, so naturally my lights were off. I kept the AC on though, because my apartment was really hot when I left.

My electricity blinked on and off for a few minutes last night. Does that count?
