The mind boggles at attempting to "save wildlife" by turning-off your lights for 30 minutes. Unfortunately, I'm going to be testing all of my 2012 Christmas lights tonight...

I'm doing it one better.

I'm having the entire Country of North Korea shut their lights off for 12 hours, every night.

Show us how you are going "lights out" by uploading your photos and videos into our interactive map.

I'm going to send them a photo of this great American:

“Don’t forget to share your photos and videos with us!”

Photos and videos of the dark. There’s no hope for them.

I thought switching to spaghetti bulbs was supposed to "save the world", including the wildlife.

Rumor has it that those who use spaghetti bulbs will received an exemption from the President for the "Earth Hour" exercise.

Me...well for an hour tonight, I will be testing everything I own that runs on electricity...full blast.

Unfortunately I won’t be able to participate. I’ll be busy setting my clock ahead an hour and changing the batteries in my carbon monoxide detecter during that time.

Darn it- This happens at the same time I warm my car up by leaving it idling in the driveway, while I empty out the remnants of all of my aerosol cans by spraying them out into the open air with of course every light on outside, since it may be dark by then.

Do they really want a picture of a stack of burning tires, lit with kilowatt spot lights?

I’m going to have every light in my house on, the oven running, the washer and dryer running, my hot water faucets turned on full, the heat set for 85, computer and printer on, all TVs running, outside lights on, grill fired up, lawn mower and leaf blower running, car idling in the driveway, and AC set for 60. Heck, if they can make a statement, so can I. But I’m doing mine for an hour.
