"Earth Hour" 8:30-9:30 tonight. So turn everything on.

[Rach*]

I'm not sitting in the sodding dark, I'm home alone tonight, it's scary!
I already hallucinated a small white dog in the garden

[Teppic]

Lets see...

TV on (even though I'm using my PC) - check
DVD player on - check
V+ box on - check
Playstation on - check
PC on - check
PC speakers on - check
3000w heater on - check
Washing machine on - check
Leave it all on and go for a drive in 20 mins? check

Yup, I'm doing my bit!

Utter bks.

Yes and No

Is the stated reasons to turn everything off utter bks

Hell yeah

Is the basic idea that we should not waste energy sound

Hell yeah

So is the idea behind earth day bks

Nope

We only have a finite amount of oil and until we have a decent form of renewable energy up and running then we should not really be wasting energy and anyone who sayes otherwise is in my opinion an idiot

Done!!!

[grumbledoak]

I have 8kW of heaters, seemingly all on.

Not worth turning on a few light bulbs, in the scheme of things.

[bigTee]

I just turned on a heater in the garage and left it on..

Turns out i actually turned on a halloween fogging machine instead.

Looks like Londons Burning in my garden now.

Looking out of my window over Leeds centre and loads of people have turned their lights off. NOt me though

[rovsd1]

I waited till all the lights went out in my neighbours house (labour councilor & hates trees) then switched everything on.
Guess I'm off the Christmas card list again!
