What are you gonna do during Earth Hour?

It will be hard to do around here with so many people fighting back flood waters. There minds are elsewhere hoping houses survive and on evacuating people. I am safe for now and will take part because I feel this is important. I hope many others do this too.

I have decided that the lights in my home will be off during the earth hour.It is a great chance to participate in a universal cause to protect our beloved earth mother who has been vandalized by us recklessly.I have done my level best in spreading the importance of the earth hour and as a parent teachers association member I have managed to make the principal of the school announce to all the students to participate in this event.

Thanks for a wonderful discussion Flower. I am going to observe this earth hour with my heart and soul but I believe in the cause very much. One hour is just a matter of time but it can do wonders if we join and observe it. I have motivated my known people to observe the hour. And it wouldn't be difficult either since the country I live in we get so much of current failure ever day. I have a query about one thing though. What's the media, multiplexes going to do. are they really going to stop their telecast? Or make bucks even at that hour! And what I am going to do in that hour? I will probably do some AIR TASKS. Thinking, planning, pondering tasks. What about you dear?

I will call my younger sister tonight so that we can have a short talk

I would love just to stay in bed with the wife but..She has the weekend's off and that's her time with her family and so I think I will get the house ready for summer you know (summer cleaning) and some painting...

I keep my lights off most of the time anyway. I only use them when really necessary. I tell my family when daylight do not turn on the lights. But my family at home is always using the computer, video games & the TV.

well here in my city there are frequent power cuts so we have made many earth hours till now! I have not yet planned what i will be doing that particular hour but if the earth hour was during daytime, i mean switching off the TV and other appliances which require power, i think i will be watering the plants.

I got it! It's a good thing I got a second universal laptop battery on St. Patrick's Day last week that I got at Office Depot (there was only one left anyway) because I rarely make a habit of turning off the lights sometimes. I got another one that's smaller, yet still works. However, in this case, since i'm a technophile/gadgetophile, I might try to switch to battery power for such a time. It's my way of being thankful for portable electricity that I save up to keep me from being in the complete dark. I don't have my own house or an apartment just yet, but I might practice saving electricity in my own way by using my battery-powered appliances like my LED lanterns, my portable radio, anything using such power sources you can carry around. I got my USB battery chargers for my laptop as well just in case. I might also bathe with bath beads or take a bubble bath during my time while being off the grid and listening to the radio at the same time like before. After all, such items helped me out during the winter power outage that I had earlier this month, and another power outage when someone crashed into a power pole. They'll help me out again during Earth Hour. Practice makes perfect anyway.

Some cities in my country join this project, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and so on. However, my city doesn't join it. Frankly, I will not join this project as at that time it's the family time. My child may not be happy if it's completely dark at home, especially it's not his bed time yet. I like to save the energy in usual. If it's OK to use fan, then I won't use air-conditioner. If I have to use air-conditioner, then I will set the right temperature rather than low temperature. I even go to work and go home on foot:) I have many good examples to save energy. I love China

It will be dark here. We are sleep deprived (a bit).Just had a bay 3 months ago. So hopefully we will spend that time taking a nap. No joke. We could use it!

Hi there! My sister and I are thinking of just lying in bed and telling ghost stories. Or if we can't handle that, we would just talk about anything under the sun, or in this case, anything under the dark haha lol. Anyway, I am really going to support earth hour. I hope all of us will.

I have been handing out earth hour fliers in our neighborhood as well as promoting it to the kids in the art class I teach so my kids and I along with a few other kids from the neighborhood are going to be walking around the neighborhood looking for blacked out houses and putting thank you notes from mother nature in mail boxes of those houses. I know it sounds corny but if you want to get kids excited about this sort of stuff sometimes you have to take the corny route.

i will surely participate the earth hour... i saw a commercial at a local channel. i will support it because i know that pollution is destroying our planet. just want to tell every body here that i live in a town where we have a cement factory and a coal powered power plant. and now they are constructing another coal powered power plan just adjacent to the old one. this really sucks because people doesn't even care about the future generations. to all people here at mylot please support earth hour, support clean air! help save our plant, save our future children!

The very least thing that i will do is I shall turn of all light and electric appliances for 2 hours. We need to save at least something for our children and grandchildren. I shall also see to it that everybody around me is aware of this event and i shall take the responsibility to educate whoever is not aware of the earth day and make him understand the true philosophy behind the idea.

hello goldflower,I'm gonna go to this fest at the local i-City centre in the day and plant a tree or something like that and go home and switch off everything in the house including my cellphone and go to sleep.I have a morning run on Sunday morning and I need all the rest I can get.What are your plans?

the www.earthhour.org believes that by switching off all lights for one hour is the modest way of conserving for energy for future uses. its the simplest and most effective way of telling people "hey, start conserving energy or else..." was it effective? in terms of acknowledgment and information dissemination.. it was.. in terms of the amount of energy conserve.. not really...unfortunately... but of course its a good start.. and i hope people who will participate in EARTH HOUR will not just switch off their lights, instead all their electric appliances.. a moment of darkness and silence. let MOTHER EARTH BREATH... so as we can further BREATH and LIVE...
