World Wide Power Off

the southern states are still on daylight savings.
they'll just be turning the lights back on again now

and they all will use twice the power for the next hour as they do all the things they couldnt do.

shower, washup, cuppa tee, cook dinner,etc

I take it your light is on Carl?

:2tsup:along with the footy.

and all the lights in archafield are on as usual along with most of brisbane

well we turned all the lights out etc but had to leave the computer on. only a few minutes to go thank goodness. can't see my keyboard and I am not the best touch typist in the world. Oh well did my bit I suppose.

GIDDAY :2tsup:

Well i joined in earth hour . No distractions family communicated we talked we laughed ...................did more then could ever be imagined!

Well done to all those who participated to those who didnt u missed being part of something special ..........................

I was driving home but I did turn the lights off.:D

Seriously we did it. I pretended be a monster in the dark but the kids weren’t scared. “You are not a monster, you are my daddy.” :(

Loyalty of kids is amazing:D:D

We lit a few candles and played Dungons and Dragons.
Good family time.
about 1/3 of my street turned off (or were out)

We can all read just how great we are in tomorrows paper then forget it for another 360 days:)

We didn't turn the lights off, we practice minimum power consumption all the time. Still can't correlate this earth hour concept with the two or three weeks before Christmas, where many are encouraged to "LIGHT" up for Christmas. Could not possibly be any element of the 'warm, fuzzy' feeling in both exercises????? and drive around to look at the lights????

We are supposed to turn off tonight at 8pm (Seppos are always behind, you know :D ) but on my street we are all OFs, so will be in bed anyway by then. :U
