I do my part everyday by riding a bike instead of driving a car, and therefor don't pollute the air as much...

All my fellow riders always do something on this day, but a friend and I are going to LA for the day, so I alas will not be there this year. I helped last year though. :thup:

It's Just plain bullshit and that doesn't help anything.
And well.. we've already seen some effects of "fake global warming"

So 2.2 million people turning their lights off for an hour doesn't do anything, eh? I don't see how you could say that, because that sure seems like it would do something...

what would it do? hmm.. and you still have some days to next switch off the lights.
So between it, Would it make any difference? lol

Ignorance is bliss, eh?
Yes, it would save quite a lot of electricity, thus saving resources.

 

[FireCat]

Seriously, It Just a marketing hoax!

Instead of turning the lights out.. Why the hell not. replacing all crappy old lights with new, energy efficient ones and other stuff.
That save alot of energy and money in long run. Not that bullshit to turn light off!

so you would much rather sit there and do nothing against climate change and instead arguing about something thats done for a cause?

Every little step counts towards achieving the goal and this is one of them.

The main goal of Earth Hour is awareness and also an initiative, turning off the lights is a message of awareness that we are this close to killing our planet. I respect your opinion, however think out of the box.

 

[sicpher]

Yeah

climate change

There's no climate change happening and If there was It's mother nature's way.

that we are this close to killing our planet.

If that was true.. Our planet would be dead already.

You sir, are being very close-minded and quite ignorant. :thdown:

He knows what to do on climate change, he's only spicing up this thread

DDRtists But see here
If there was a event such like this. but instead of lights why not stop all cars for a hour? Lights doesn't harm like cars do Right?

Its not suppose to do anything. Its symbolism. Nothing more.

But you have to be reasonable man, turning off the lights for an hour is possible, as the sun provides light to see what you're doing. Whereas the sun does not provide transportation for you, which makes it unreasonable...

But you're missing the real point of this, it's not for the effects of turning them off, it's more to get people aware of the problems. To inform the non-informed that they need to change the way they do things, and do things like you said, install energy efficient lightbulbs and such.

Its not suppose to do anything. Its symbolism. Nothing more.

Exactly.

 

[Miz]

Also Global Warming technically is a scientifically incorrect phrase. Its called climate change. Because the world's climate isn't just one direction. Yet people still don't understand. There is also tremendous benefits of understanding that we need to change and reform our lives.

And when people say "We're killing the planet". The Planet won't be killed by us. When we say that, it doesn't mean the planet is dying it means Life on this planet is pretty much screwed.
A better phrase is "We're saving Humanity from killing itself as a whole."

PS - I really don't want Earth to become like Venus.

 

[Monsterous]

I was not aware of it >_<
Oh well, next year then

The goal of earth hour is not to "save energy" its to get people engaged to question about global warming
