8th-Apr-2008 11:33 am - Feeling green with Earth Hour

[info]aunty_del asks:

Can someone please explain this Earth Hour thing to me?

...this year, it's the same - a lot of hype and photos of dark buildings and not much else. This means I have a few questions.

Is it supposed to be a symbolic gesture or actually do something about energy consumption?

It's symbolic and awareness raising. I don't know that it raises the right kind of understanding, though. Me, I don't like making people think they've done something when they haven't.

If I had a permanent residence I'd be on green electricity, and during Earth Hour I'd turn on every appliance, open the windows and sing for the neighbors to hear "I'm on Green Power - I can use as much as I want!"
