    'People are being urged to turn off the lights for one hour to show their support for action on climate change.

    Earth Hour will be held again this year on March 28'


    hope you all do this cause i will make sure to leave all my lights on for that hour to show my opposition to this global warming scam

    I'll be making sure to turn on the TV, PC, laptop charger, mobile phone charger and all the lights in the house in support of this.

    It doesn't say what time to leave them off

    I for one will buck the trend and turn them off.

    I've just turned on a chandelier, the number of individual bulbs should compensate for more than a handful of crusties.

    any chance on you lot growing up! doesn't make economic sense to leave the lights on or run some car in the drive way - remember the tax you are paying the xxxass government as part of the fuel you are burning up!! Its not free

    What's the bet Boards will have a new record number of people logging in on that date as everyone tries to find out if everyone else has turned off their electrical appliances?

    I turned off all of my lights in support but had to burn a mountain of tyres in my garden so that I could see what I was doing.
