Google is supporting Earth Hour.

Are you?

The Youtube video

I do agree with the people that say to use less power all the time instead of dedicating a day to it, but I'm interested in the amount of power we'll save.

Yes, I am. I'll be off the computer from in 3 1/2 hours. I might be so bored, I'll fall asleep. My parents probably aren't though. I told them about this already, but they just ignored me, while watching that one history channel. :P I don't see how this would help much though.

You know the best way to reduce carbon footprint? In terms of effort to output? Paving things.

Re: Google is supporting Earth Hour.

An hour of saved energy is a speck.

Pointless.

This is more about awareness than anything.

**** that's right now.

I'm so confused, the news said 7:00, and I was asleep, so I did it, but the facebook group says 8:00, which is now. =(

All the lights in my house are on. My roommates are so wasteful.

I'm wearing my big carbon shoes tonight.

I like how it's -only- turning lights off that people are supposed to do. My housemates are sitting in the dark (having turned off the one small lamp usually in that room) playing computer games on a laptop, and a computer hooked up to a 42 inch television.

Re: Google is supporting Earth Hour.

I celebrated the end of Earth Hour by turning on every light in my house. Repeatedly.

EDIT: Also Google is way behind the times: blackle.com

Couldn't help out because I was at work. Although I believe most of my house is always in the dark anyway so if you add the time up it covers the 1 hour.

Re: Google is supporting Earth Hour.

I wasted energy.

College students? I'm the youngest in this house by several years at 24. The two housemates in question are a mechanic and an elementary school teacher.
