EARTH HOUR are you going to participate?

I would love to see that as we are the only ones in our street who bothers to put a light out in front of the house. Maybe I will try to but not for the whole one hour LOL I would be too scared...

I will join in this event to support the Earth. Saves a lot of energy and we don't need the light anyways. I think more countries this year are supporting Earth Hour too?

I havent heard about this but I will defenatly do it. 8:30 pm march 28th. thanks. I hope everyone does it.

You're kidding, right?

You bet... the whole family does. Last year it was warm out so we sat outside and played games. This year we will need to do so by candle because it's going to be raining. Here's a couple of links for those who are interested: For the kids: http://wwf.worldwildlife.org/site/R?i=XToRXbMwXKt0yDrymOdkJA.. For the adults: http://www.earthhourus.org/main.php (that's the us link but I think it can get you to the other countries too.)

I will surely participate to save the earth.

yes, i am going to participate...so that i can help save the earth, and conserve electricity..

I surely will..every small step counts...especially if its a billion people taking the same step..!!

HI se7, I am very behind about that news..thanks for sharing! I may share it to you my loved ones and friends back home and may do it here also!

sometimes i forgot to switch off the light and i am glad hubby always remind me to save the earth,power and money

Most probably we will. We have planned to celebrate my sister's wedding anniversary on this day; so we will start the dinner early and then switch off the lights at 8.30pm. I guess the kids will be thrilled with this - they think it's fun!

Using kerosene lamp for an hour is fine with me, i am in it.

I will also try to participate in it. It should be once in a month to save some electricity. I know that from business point of view every minute is important. It should be publicly announced in each and every part of the world.

I didn't hear about this! How did I miss it?! I will definitely participate , if I'm home during that time. If I'm not home during that time I guess my lights will be off anyways. And hey, even if people do it at another time, that one hour will still help. Maybe everyone should try to do this once each day!!

Well, here in Calcutta, the Govt might be doing us this favour…you see we have this thing called load-shedding which is basically a power-cut when we all are plunged into darkness for an indefinite period of time which can last from 15 minutes to two hours or more. Come summer and with the rise in demand for electricity, the frequency of load-shedding increases too! Only last night we had it for half an hour at bed-time. So even if we don’t switch off our lights for that one hour, we sure will for many more hours to come.

Sure we will participate there! Like you, we also turn off lights or anything at home when we're not using them.

I heard about the appeal, which in my understanding is a symbolic sign to remind people the serious situation the earth is exposed to. One hour shock down is ok for me, but the one hour event will not exert significant effect, unless people are adequately educated what wrongs they are making to spoil the earth.

I heard about this from net early in the morning. i will do it.i believe everyone will do that.

I'm undecided as of yet as to whether or not I will participate. The reason comes down to global warming. I've heard some interesting theories on how global warming can actually benefit out climat and planet. Most of them push toward global warming being the first step in sending us back into an ice age. Although overally I think its important still to protest the excessive use of a power thats inefficient and detrimental to the planet. I am pretty sure that either way we (my Family) will be participating as it is an important issue to bring recognition to the fact that the earth isn't all that well off, and getting worse yet.

I will participate this event for sure.
