Earth Hour 2010 @ 20:30

[Tombstone]

I blame Belinda Carlisle for telling us all to leave a light on 20 years ago

 

[Fenris]

No, I don't think I will.

A bunch of hippies lighting candles will not save the planet.

 

[trent]

I'm going to be turning my lights off but it means I'm going to have to burn some tyres as a source of light.

There's a balancing argument somewhere between the 'It's all rubbish!' and 'We're doomed!' and it's based around the idea that really, there's no real harm in treating the planet with some respect.

There's no point consuming more energy than you need to. Trying not to use plastic bags for example is something simple that decreases landfill.

If you look at things like that it's not really so much an argument about whether climate change is affected by our activity, and more about treating nature with some natural respect.

I'm unconvinced by human effect on climate change, but it doesn't stop me wanting to treat my environment well.

I know IKEA are joining in with this although the shop is closed anyway

Too little too late really, with all the trees they've cut down to make flat pack furniture you could probably build a stairway from the Earth to the Sun.

 

[Soviet]

Are you going to switch off tonight?

No.

 

[mod1fied]

My lights, PCs, TVs and all the rest will be running as usual. Until someone can definitively prove that climate change isn't the same old natural cycle it has always been, I won't do anything different.

[Mp4]

i've done my part all bulbs in the house are those pants ones which take a decade to get bright! and recycle every week.

So everything will be as normal

 

[KnightStalker]

No, pointless and wont change a damn thing in the grand scheme of things.

 

[Cosimo]

We’ll be watching 2012 with just the home cimema on.

 

[NightSt@lk3r]

there's no real harm in treating the planet with some respect.

Perhaps i might treat the planet with some respect if it treats me with some respect and STOPS ****ING ON ME ALL THE TIME!

 

[jcb33]

How will just switching lights off help? Surely if you keep the TV/Cooker etc off for that hour...
Jcb33.

 

[steve-h]

Are you going to switch off tonight?

LOL!

 

[Building Candy]

To make up for the sad people I will have all the lights on, hoover, tv's, i'm even gonna start my car to make up the numbers

Viva La Revolution!

 

[starfighter]

I'll be working. don't want to get sacked so probably not.

 

[rossw]

My lights off now. 40 minutes to go

 

[Voltar]

China and India doing something about their emissions as well as other countries with huge amounts of heavy industry will do far, far more than this.

I don't see why it's always the educated, law abiding citizen of small countries like ours who bang on about climate change and try to do so much about it. The UK will barely make a difference on the grand scheme of things yet we're all green and organic these days (not that it's bad at all) and we think we're actually doing something.

Just heavily sanction the Chinese and Indians for a start. Then the USA, Russia and others.

I will not be turning my lights off as I'm fed up of these 'do this, do that for this AMAZING cause' group and event invites on facebook.

 

[Ascendancy]

Think I'll turn on my oven and hobs to full for an hour. Take that hippies.
