Earth Hour - KarthXLR - 03-28-2009

Is anybody doing this tonight? I am just because I'm stupid.

Re: Earth Hour - fyre - 03-28-2009

I'm not just because I'm lazy. That's cool if you do it though.

That's a bad reason for doing it... at least you will do it.
I hope you realise that it's not a whole stupid thing. People actually do this for a good reason, it's to send a message to our country leaders, that we want their next meeting in... Copenhagen, I believe, to result in important -positive- changes for the environnement.

But as long as you do it, I guess it's what matters, Karthy.

Your logic makes no sense at all.

Yea and all the candles and shit plus having to cool/heat a house from scratch probably does wonders for the planet.  How about everyone buys some CFLs or switches out an old appliance for an energy star one instead.

A researcher up here produced a report on how CFLs actually cost more when used in the winter months versus incandescent.

And I believe they are worse for the environment due to production by-products but do not have any substantiating documentation at hand, nor do I have the intent of searching for any.

It's not Earth Hour yet. It's in 2 hours, 30 minutes.

Re: Earth Hour - Honest - 03-28-2009

My Canadian friends did it, I sat playing my PSP which sort of counts, I mean I left my computer and lights on but...oh wait. That doesn't count at all now does it.

Oh well, I am now one step closer to my ultimate goal of becoming a Captain Planet villain. brbpeeinginocean

GOD DAMNIT

I planned to do this and then totally forgot.

Horray!  Lets all drastically reduce our power consumption, very quickly, all at once, everywhere!  No, it couldn't needlessly stress our power grid and create more work/pollution in the long run.  Why, that'd be like pumping a 20 metric asstons of pollutants into the air to create highly toxic batteries for electric cars to replace conventional ones that would have only created 12 metric asstons over their life time.

1990's Geo Metro: 1/15th the price of a Prius, gets 10% better gas milage, costs 1/3 to operate (parts only, not accounting for a battery change), and weights 1/2 as much.

We're doing it wrong.

Re: Earth Hour - Greatbacon - 03-29-2009

My friends and I spent the better part of the night running two TVs, two XBox360s, lights, controllers, an oven, and the heater.  Fuck your hippie shit.

Re: Earth Hour - Geoff - 03-29-2009

Last night I was watching tv, on the computer, texting my girlfriend, running the wash, all with the lights on.  And I left the computer on all night.

Oh, I'm just that bad.
