Earth Hour: Canadians urged to power down tonight

Damn, I forgot to leave the Christmas lights up. Oh well, next year.

No, I need to do laundry/dishes.

... just cracked a cold beer. I'm ready to power down my body.

When you get a little older, maybe you'll be able to buy beer, too.

Human Achievement Hour 2014

"On March 29, some people will be sitting in the dark to express their "vote" for action on global climate change. Instead, you can join CEI and the thousands of people around the world who will be celebrating Human Achievement Hour (HAH). Leave your lights on to express your appreciation for the inventions and innovations that make today the best time to be alive and the recognition that future solutions require individual freedom not government coercion."

Am I going out of my way to use needless electricity? No. Am I going to sit in the dark without my computer? Fuck no.

7:59.

Bye.

Yeah, go join the 24 million North Koreans who celebrate Earth hour every night.

Oh, it's this time of the year again...

I'm mainly interested in reduced pollution. Not deliberately wasting electricity ("Yeah! Woo! Eat it, Africa!") is probably something everyone should practice, considering the costs of obtaining that electricity.

Honestly, we don't participate. Not fully. We turn the lights off when we leave the room, television and consoles are powered off... Computers are up and so is the microwave and stove. But that's everyday so, we're not really doing anything.

The big boys of pollution are corporations... I'd rather we blamed ourselves less for wasted water and power when it's them who waste hundreds of bottles of water for just one bottle of pop...

We're part of it, but we're not all of it.

Earth hour's popularity is waning. Hell, it's plummeting.

They have a website? People still care about Alexa rankings?

Do you like USA Today? Ever heard of Bjorn Lomborg?

Here, do it the easy way. The YouTube version.

I want an Earth year.

That would be more than interesting.
