Earth Hour Alert: at 8:30 PM (your time) turn on ALL your lights. In honor of Earth Hour, I am asking All willing Freepers to turn on All your lights, turn up your heat and turn on the a/c to cool it down, due a few loads of wash, start up every computer, make a few loaves of bread in the bread machine...if you have one, put a spot light in your yard. It is my understanding that the success or lack of it will be measured by how much electric wattage was used in that hour and satellite pictures of the earths darkness.
My christmas lights are on - time to shine!
Earth Hour Alert Reminder: 8:30 PM (your time) Your hour to shine, TURN ALL YOUR LIGHTS ON!
Heh. Turn on all your lights and electrical appliances, let the children play with the garage door opener; don't forget to leave the refrigerator door open for the entire hour. As a bonus, heat the kitchen with a 500 degree oven, and run the air conditioner at the same time. We can do it! Yes, we can!
Perfect. Say Hi to EMS and the Fire Dept.
And leave the door open as the A/C or heater is going!
don’t forget to toast some marshmallows on the backyard bonfire...

8:30 that’s a strange time.
I put all my lights on at 8:00. :0)
Me too. Cheers!
Personally, I will be burning a HUGE pile of old tires in the backyard to celebrate...
Free Republic is a great place. Even incoherent people are allowed to post.
got everything on including the blender. (my wife thinks i am nuts!)
Just walked through the house turning on all my lights. They are flouresent, but they are on!
I was surprised when i counted them, but I have all 146 lights on and three computers - and it’s my birthday too!
We’re lit up light a Christmas tree:-)
On a related note - we spent today at a big scuba expo in NJ, as we’ve done for the past 7 years or so. Each year, there’s a children’s section where kids have drawn pictures related to oceans, fish, etc. This year, walking through that section, I was struck by the fact that virtually every drawing had to do with global warming & the imminent death of planet Earth. No more happy fish & dolphins - now it’s all gloom & despair. What a change, over the course of just a few years. An entire generation has been brainwashed. Sad.
on.
Wow!
Hilarious!
Up here, at the edge of the treeline near the Arctic Circle, the sun will still be up and shining. Sunset is officially about 9:20 p.m. tonight.
I think I’ll still turn on the lights, though. Just to do my part.
The Kentucky Wildcats are having a shooting blackout to celebrate Earth Hour. They’re about to choke away their #1 seed.
Bad day for Wildcats so far.
My neighbors are neither on or off. Most people ignore BS like Earth Day/Hour.
