So, for earth hour:

[_] I turned out the lights.
[_] I turned out the lights, and turned on the plasma TV and the hot tub.
[_] I would have participated, but we had a power failure so I couldn't turn off the lights. I'll make up for it by keeping them on an extra hour.
[_] It's a conspiracy, I tell you - politicians|Al Gore|media WANT to keep us in the dark!
[_] To celebrate earth hour, I switched the utility bill over to my soon-to-be ex. I now consume nothing! PROFIT!
[_] I lost my job and stopped paying the electric bill months ago. I have no choice except to observe earth hour 24-7, you ignorant clod!
[_] To show my devotion to mother earth, I turned off the lights and resorted to an all-organic solution - I built a huge bonfire out of all the paper in the recycling bins.
[_] I used my laptop - it runs on batteries, so it doesn't use electricity, right?
[_] I went to the movies - the lights are SUPPOSED to be off.
[_] I went to the movies with my "significant other", and just as things were building to their climax, some idiot turned the lights ON. The movie had ended 5 minutes before. Busted! FML.
[_] Sorry, I'm a "Renaissance Person" - I believe in enlightenment. So much so that E is my desktop.
[_] I'm blind, you ignorant clod!
[_] "Dear pollster: Epstein couldn't participate in Earth Hour because the dog ate his light switch. Signed, Epstein's mother."
[_] I celebrated too much at a pub. I insulted the waitress, and her boyfriend and three friends punched my lights out. Does that count?
[_] I'm the waitress. He's a wus. *I* punched his lights out.
[_] CowboyNeal is here. I don't DARE turn off the lights!

      There, fixed it for you.

  • I turned to the greenish side since a few years, this "Lights out" thingy just is for fashionada's. not for people that care and change.
    • This is true, but at the same time, the "Lights Out" thing is a way to show that it's not just the crunchy-granola set that is into saving energy. Public awareness helps.

      Last week I got a $50 rebate cheque for buying a refrigerator that met energy-consumption guidelines. Getting paid to do the right thing didn't hurt, and the long-term savings are also a small bonus.

      We can all drive smaller cars, drive them slower, for shorter distances, or even park them. I cut back my driving by 2/3 just by moving
