On Saturday 28 March 2009 at 8.30pm, remember to turn all your lights and electrical equipment on.

Electric heaters also.

I think they want you turn them off. Turning them on kinda defeats their purpose

Yes, I know. I realized it soon as I hit post and read it.
Shhhh

It would take me an hour to switch them all off.

If we did this as a group, with enough light emitting equipment, you might be able to see all the OcUKers from space!

But seriously, I will take part in this, just have to charge up my lappy before then

Erm. I don't think I'll be observing Earth Hour. Sorry. I'll be too busy playing Crysis on my 650W computer, with all the lights on, and 2 electric heaters keeping my room warm.

We want a billion people to switch their lights off to show support for action to tackle climate change

I'm sure there are a billion people out there with no lights to switch off. They have us covered.

Pfft, no such thing as global warming

They can go and take a running jump, we’ll have every light on to celebrate the coming of BST.

tisonlyme · 27 Mar 2009 at 12:05

I'll be in a hotel, do you think I should ask them to switch all the lights off in the building?

What an utter load of rubbish!

Can only imagine the fun when everyone turns their electrical items back on

DJMK4 · 27 Mar 2009 at 12:14

Haha, that reminds me of a south park episode about the economy and ressesion problems "Lets help the economy by spending as little or no money as possible"

Oh no it won’t, the sun sets at 18:28 on Saturday.

This is very pointless.

How is doing this for an hour going to help in the grand scheme of things?

Le_Petit_Lapin · 27 Mar 2009 at 12:48

Turn off my internet?

Are you mad?
