Are you going to turn off everything and sit in the dark for Earth Hour?

Yes, it is that time of the year again folks, the time of the year when the vast majority of us ignore or don't partake in the bizarre quasi-religious ritual known as Earth Hour. Is anybody here going to sit in the dark feeling smug tonight at 8:30?.

What happened to earth Day?

I shall sit in the dark and masturbate furiously, just like every other day.

Did no one tell them about tonights match ?

W.Shakes-Beer · 26-03-2011 08:13PM

I'll probably walk the dog.

Oh_Noes · 26-03-2011 08:14PM

I'm going to put my dryer on, and the boiler and whatever electric heaters I have. Just to be nice and warm watching the Ireland match.

That should probably compensate for about 20 of the people sitting in the dark.

Mrmoe · 26-03-2011 08:14PM

I'm going to switch on every light I can just to be awkward and prove a point.

Where To · 26-03-2011 08:15PM

Soby · 26-03-2011 08:15PM

That's a separate event. I think it's next month. And it's just an "awareness" day, so you don't have turn anything off.

26-03-2011 08:17PM

what the fcuk is earth hour

Sofiztikated · 26-03-2011 08:19PM

Did you know that all the energy used in promoting Earth Hour negates any energy saved during that hour?

True story.

squeakyduck · 26-03-2011 08:22PM

I won't be doing this, if I turn off the power supply to my laptop it will immediately turn off. No internet makes squeaks something something!

Panda General · 26-03-2011 08:24PM

No way, am going to sit here and watch the match:D:D

Dudess · 26-03-2011 08:34PM

I think it's smug all right, and pointless, but so is switching on a load of stuff to "spite" those who do it.
