#61 - Poll: Is Earth Hour a bunch of nonsense?

[taltigolt]

i guess turning off the lights did nothing when i had a 200 watt fw900 crt and a crt tv running why didn't i think of that

[WillyWobSkin]

@CJCA915 the lights off feature turned the background black. turning down the screen lighting would just make it hard to see

[Borridd]

It shouldn't be about awareness, it should be about action. Awareness isn't an issue any more.

[WillyWobSkin]

i wish youtube still had the lights off feature, it was awesome. and it saved power

@RodneyBReynolds @ 0:18 seconds, why do you say "earth hour"?

[dglenn]

@dglenn247 nevermind, im slow... the whole earth hour thing is nonsense. It should be everyday, everyweek, all year that people reduce power consumption. It also concerns cars, trucks, jets, ships. not just electronics.

I think its a bit of nonsense in the fact that it involves things we should be doing anyways.

[Razear]

People turning off the lights for one hour every year isn't going to help sustain the planet. It takes a lifestyle change to have a real impact.

[JeromeRyan]

in a country with nuclear power plant its kinda nonsense...

[Mewzyc]

it's not nonsense. But I don't do it.

[JohnySeen]

No it isn't nonsense I think it's nice, respect the Planet and the trees =)

But this 'switch the lights off' thing on youtube IS nonsense, asking if I want to change the contrast from white to black to save a microbe of energy while lazy dicks drive around in big SUV's when there's only one(the driver) using it... seriously =/
