    So, who's doing it? Turn off all your lights and other electricals (tv, computer, phones etc) for 1 hour tonight, from 8;30 to 9;30 GMT. If you're watching the match, at least switch everything else besides the TV off.

    Will you do it? Why/why not? Will you grab some candles to roast mini marshmallows on, and a guitar to have a singsong for an hour :P.

    Will you be partaking in Earth Hour? 51 votes

    Yeah, of course! I'm, like, soooo environmentally friendly

    Ya beat me to it! ;)

    Even if I hadn't missed it cos I put the clocks forward I wouldn't be doing it, how else can I be on boards and FB, I'd have withdrawals!

    No, I'm watching the match. I'll have the lights off for 7 or 8 hours later tonight instead.

    Nah the idea is to switch off anything that uses electricity - whether mains or battery operated .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 452 ✭✭Jimmyboss

    I've just turned all the lights off.

    I couldn't see anything, so I set fire to some plastic to get some light.

    But its already 9:35.
    At least for me it is.


    Anyways, i didnt go dark but i did change to the 'Cloud' theme.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,723 ✭✭✭Cheap Thrills!


    No. To spite the knit-your-own-lentils brigade, I'm going to turn on every light in the house until Dublin Airport complains I'm confusing the pilots and turn on the oven, microwave, sounds, heating, iron, washing machine, dryer, air conditioning and electric toothbrush just to flip the bird to.....'the man' :cool:

    That'll teach them! :pac:






    esb bill? HA! *spits on floor*
