    Yay, everbody switch off your lights for one hour tonight, and that will save the planet, woo hoo Im excited, are you?

    Exceptions:

    - Every McDonalds, KFC, every restaurant and cafe, anyone set to make money between 8:30 - 9:30

    - Every street light and traffic light, you know, for safety

    - all of the 500 nuclear power stations on the planet

    - anywhere cold, you can stilll keep your heaters on, using 20 times the power your lights do

    Ha, and on the australian earthour site its actually billed as the largest global movement for the environment

    Switch off your lights for one of the 8760 hours in a year is the largrst global movement for the environment??

    And.....


    "By signing up to switch off, you also have the chance to go into the draw to win an Intrepid Travel trip to Western Australia and Ningaloo Reef."

    So by signing up to promise to switch off your lights for an hour, you can win a trip on a commercial airliner to help save the planet. Fuck me dead

    pretty much everyone in the world, since nobody even bothered to tell us this was supposed to be happening.

    its about sharing an idea. of course its not going to do much other then that. expecting it to is missing the point though.
    will i remember to? maybe. the idea is there. i think, i wish, more people understood the idea.
    but i guess if they don't want to, that's up to them.

    Ok. everyone notice the nice Australian stamps in my signature. :D

    I guess it's been a thing for awhile, as I've had this signature for a decade or something.

    Never heard of it either. Certainly doesn't seem like participating could hurt.

    Earth day rhymes with birthday

    It confuses the hell out of me, because I wasn’t born on 4/22

    22/4 god damn it

    The day comes first then the month, then usually the year

    September 11 was 11/9/01 while im at it

    Putting the month first is retarded

    I prefer month, date, year (but completely see why the other makes more sense).

    I lost my virginity around 6/6/2006 (666), so I’ve always been partial to both.

    I just wanted to mention sex.

    The real issue is with those that don’t use “u” in colour, favourite, neighbour...

    I wasnt at home last night at the designated time so I guess I participated unintentionally?

    BUT, I was in a car at the designated time. Just steady guzzling gas lol
