From the Empire State Building in New York, to the Eiffel Tower in France, to Wat Arun Buddhist temple in Thailand, cities, businesses, governments and millions of people are standing together in a collective display of commitment to protect our planet. Will you be among them?

In a very odd mood today...
Sorry, No. I refuse to align myself with the darkness of this world.
Thats for sure!

This also “World Backup Day”.

If I turn off all of my electricals while my complete HD backup is running (and I am observing it just in that way right now), it will ruin my backup.
No electric lights of any kind will be permitted, so just wrap an oily rag around a stick to make a nice torch to light your way.
Do they really believe restaurants, groceries, theaters, shopping centers, retail businesses et al will be turning off their lights? They’ll all be open at this time. I can’t wait for the lawsuits to begin when customers sue for the damage and harm committed during that time.
If I were to walk into a restaurant and be told that at 8:30 the lights would be turned off during my dinner, I’d walk out after a not-so-nice comment about their ‘not holding your breath’ waiting for my return.
Not only do all switches need to be on to show your support,
But going to the garage, wheeling out the chipper shredder,
The two riding lawn mowers,
The two roto tillers,
The tractor,
The standby generator,
Both motorcycles,
The leaf blower,
The trimmer/edger, Both trucks,
and starting them all as a salute to fossil fuel.
Heck, most likely I will have a few beers as well, to celebrate diversity.
George Carlin on human self importance (naughty but right on)...

Light a candle, you can contribute to global warming instead.
I LOVE the annual celebration of Earth Hour.
It really brings out the ornery streak in FReepers....LOL!
Sorry, I’ll be working (because millions on welfare depend on me) at that time via VPN; no can do with out the electrons...
Is the White House and Congress going dark? Only a matter of time at this rate.
Pray for America
% Turn out the lights - the Party orders... %
Note to self: ALL lights on at 8:30 PM tonight.
So governments will be shutting off street lights? Headlights on cars while driving? Televisions? (there is an important basketball game on then). Businesses? like stores? If you take a picture, I am assuming you can’t use a flash.
Oppression by the stupid.
Sounds like the perfect time to do a burglary on you neighborhood libtard.
Perfect time for my first barbecue of the season.
I had a neighbor that had a super bright light just outside my bedroom window to light his driveway and car so no one would steal it. Guess what, it got stolen and I didn’t hear a thing.
Thanks for reminding me to turn all of my lights on.
Can't think of a better way to honor this crap.
If they really wanted to save those delicious animals, wouldn’t they turn off their lights permanently? Shouldn’t they stop exhaling all that nasty CO2?
Pray for America
I don't think so.......
Good job!! Yours is the best and truest reply yet. But in consideration of DANGER you forgot to list the automobile, airplane, stairs, elevators, stoves, fire, medicine, surgery, bikes, guns, knives, stones, ships and boats, roller skates, rope, candles, and the MOST dangerous human activity of all.
For safety, man never should have left his cave.
You must be a very heavy sleeper. Fortunately I have dogs that alert me to anybody outside. One night I hollered at them because they were barking and I was tired. Should have gotten up, they were warning me that someone was breaking into my car. Now I listen to them.
My neighbors light is not super bright and does not go past his driveway. It’s the streetlights that light up the bedrooms. My next door neighbor is just a busybody.
They’re down to a thirty-minute “Hour”. Kinda like the few-thousand-strong “Million” Man March. Hey, it’s the name that counts.
Be nice if someone could fly over al Gore’s estate and snap a picture, to see if the palace is darkened for the event, or if it’s only for the peasants.
They are above all that, as they know better, much better.
Great...read my post # 74. Great minds think alike.
Me too.
I will be sure to turn on every light in the house.
And . . .
In a dedicated effort to blind all the liberals that live around me, I think I will run around the house 5 times buck nekkid.
Note to all Watermeloons (spelling intentional):
If you are truly green, kill the main breaker to your house for Earth Hour and do not light candles. Sit in the dark as the temperature goes from comfortable to uncomfortable, listening to the silence of no machinery, thinking of that refrigerator full of food that will spoil if you don’t turn the power back on.
Then ask yourself, “is this the future I want for me and my children?”
I heard Keith Olbermann will be taking a few days off.
I don’t want to read 80+ replies so this may have been answered already. As 8:30 P.M. rolls around in the various time zones? Or 8:30 Eastern, 7:30 Central etc.?
No.
5.56mm
I might sign up for THAT one.....
My sentiments exactly!!
Thanks for the post! Rest assured that every light in and around my house will be lit. Might even turn on all the vehicle headlights!
I’m pretty sure there won’t be a single house observing this stupidity in my neighborhood.
I’m going to turn every light in my house on at 8.30
Sure.....pics and videos taken with the lights out. Brilliant.
This earth will be here long after each of those turning off their lights are gone from this earth.
Well ANONYMOUS was supposed to shut down the internet today...
LOL
If only that were the full extent of the environmentalist wackos' ultimate goal. Most of them consider humans to be a viral scourge that must be wiped out, in order to "save the planet".
We’ll be glad to turn our lights off for 8+ hours....just like we do EVERY night.
On goes the A/C, the oven and the clothes dryer.
If they weren’t typical leftist hypocrites, they could start with themselves.
Good job!
Me too. Well, maybe not the AC, it’s pretty cold here today.
