Earth Hour

[daibhidc]

With about half an hour to go until Earth Hour, and Mum asking how many candles I'd need in the kitchen, it suddenly occurred to me to double check if it was just lights, or if it was all electricals.

Which is just as well, since otherwise I wouldn't have discovered we'd got the week wrong, and it's next Saturday...

Oh, I agree. But I also see the need for Big Symbolic Events.

As I understand it, the idea behind Earth Hour isn't that everyone sitting in the dark for an hour will make a noticable difference. The idea is to attract everyone's attention to the idea of switching things off.

I take your point. But being a cynical wossname, I suspect most people will (if they bother at all) think "Oh, well, I've done my bit now" and carry on as usual thereafter :-(
