Earth hour 2012

[KainTheVampire]

Well it's about two weeks left but whatever
I'm just interested on how many people here who are going to participate \o/

Earth Hour

[KawanoMino]

Yes, I am. \o/\o/

[Wakarimashita]

No.

[Akonyl]

probably not. If you want to actually do something that'll make a difference instead of just looking like you are, there's other ways to save power than to turn off lights for a length of time that equates to roughly 0.01% of power used in a year.

[Memesu]

Maybe.

[breva]

Maybe

[Callid]

probably not. If you want to actually do something that'll make a difference instead of just looking like you are, there's other ways to save power than to turn off lights for a length of time that equates to roughly 0.01% of power used in a year.

Especially considering that lights are responsible for only about 1% of electrical (!) power directly (!) consumed. So, it's about 0.0001% of the yearly amount of electric energy
In fact, lowering the thermostat by 1°C (or lessening heating in another way) for a day is far, far more effective :x

I don't use anything electronic at all during that hour except stuff that goes on batteries

[Kaito Lady]

Nah

[mangaluva]

Maybe, as in "if I remember it's happening".

I just normally conserve, so I shouldn't make an hour of not using any electricity seems like so much.
If I would go through with it, I would just use candles and read a book. Not those electronic ones either.
