Earth Hour

www.blackle.com

Well, I live out in the boondocks and the power goes off once in a while. So, I feel that I’ve done my time. Plus let’s not forget about that hour we lost when the time changed. That should count for something. Okay, I guess I’m not taking this very seriously…

P.S. - I am very white. I also haven’t owned a television for about six years.

Howd you get your news?

There are other forms of media apart from the TV you know.

This is my personal favorite source for news.

What does a white guy sound like in the dark?

Actually, when something important happens, someone usually makes a thread about it here. No kidding – that’s how I’ve found out about some really big news events in the past. Also, people will talk about important news, so I’ll hear about it at the office or from my friends. Then I go look it up on the Internet. If something big happens, will you be kind enough to send me a PM? :slight_smile:

I live in the middle of nowhere as well and we have our power going off all the time.
In winter if it goes off (and it always does), our water freezes.

We don’t mind…

I lost my keys in my kitchen, but since my elec. is off, I can’t see well enough to find them, so because the sun hasn’t totally set yet, I’ll look for them in my front yard, since the light is better there!:stuck_out_tongue:

That’s just crazy talk, Sean. Put a cork in it.

I had a lot of stuff on last night during the earth hour. It really wouldn’t make a difference either way if I do or don’t, so why bother?

I did put a cork in it, but because I had all the lights out, I put it in the wrong place.

Man, you shoulda heard the pop when I pulled it out!

Very reliable.

I happily played my PS3, ate dinner under my well lit enviorment, and watched TV with the lights on in the room during Earth hour.

…Oops…

Anyone who used electricity should die of gonorrhea and rot in their cold graves.
its humans fault the earth is fucked so unfuck the world as a banner at the big day out once said.
and to all the homos saying, im going to do what i want, fuck the world! i must tell you that your not a cool rebel. you’re losers. selfish losers.
im very emo’ about this because it annoys me that people are the way some of you are.

happy earth hour.

also if you’re worried about stubbing your little toes, just think, before electricity there were these weird things called candles, we left the lights off for hours after earth hour was over and just let them burn out, they worked fine.
n00bs! my family owns.
I was getting on my brothers shoulders and turning off those long lights out the front of a mates shop.

I was gone for about 5 hours now I think. Power was off the whole time.

I usually turn everything off for about 8-14 hours each night, while im asleep. My computer stays on, but in a power saving mode, so none of my hardrives are on, the monitor isnt on, and basically, the only power it has running to it is enough just to detect the mouse click or a keystroke so it can come back to live and turn its insides back on.

i went out, and went to a well lit shop, bought some food, passed loads of very bright houses, under lots of street lights (they were on too) i didnt stub my toe, i could see. instead i fell down some stairs on my muni, breaking my pringles, then i went into a tent and watched a film on my laptop,

the good thing is i didnt use any electricity, everyone else did!!:stuck_out_tongue: oh except for my laptop, but that has a battery, ao doesnt matter lol:D

I’m getting a gasoline powered heater and lights for my grave. I’ll be dead in style.

But dude, a burning candle releases CO2 :astonished:

Bahahaha. I L’edOL.

I was at work during earth hour last night, and we kinda had to keep the electricity on to keep the ice cream from melting…and so, you know, customers could come inside and we could serve them.
