Earth Hour


Can someone tell me what this actually achieved on Saturday night? You turn off your lights, your tv, your radio and
you sit in the dark for one hour. Now I understand the awareness part, but really, some of these environmentalists are going on like this has just saved the planet. There have been calls to the power companies to calculate how much we saved by
turning off the power for one hour. My question is how will you ever know ? At best it is a estimated guess.
You compare it to saturday night one week ago. Well what was saturday night one week ago like ? Was the temperature the same ? Was there a wind ? Did two or three thousand less people not use their dishwasher for that one hour ?
So then if they did their dishes an hour later where was the saving ? This whole thing is over hyped and over blown.
It reminds me of a fat person going on a diet for one hour and then pigs out immediately following. How does this make
sense ?

Ok I'm a political junkie. Provincial, federal, world - I follow it all. Also enjoy talk radio

Kind of said most of it above. I do love to travel though. Would love to visit every major city out there. Enjoy learning the culture of other countries. I'm a people watcher and a people person. Some say I love to talk and I guess that would be accurate
