Forgot to add that Ergon, the power authority here, actually offers an award for the "best" lit house an the council actually puts up a street sign to indicate "Christmas" street to mark the street for a year.... Interesting concept???
edit.. Does this happen any where else?????

Turn off your lights by all means I will leave mine on thank you. Never has a more futile exercise ever been attempted in my opinion. Climate change? Sure! it changes all the time. Warm to cold, cold to warm and back again all very naturally. Too much hype, not enough (or) no facts to support your theory. The truth about AGW will come out in time.
This thread is certainly in the right catagory "drivel".

Whilst I generally try to adhere to the three ' R 's , being reduce, reuse and recycle, I think sitting in the dark with a candlelight and discussing how great we are in saving the world is neither being normal nor productive.
A bit like the recent UN conference in Indonesia to save the world and every delegation flies in on their own planes to attend and burned up more petrol than they'll save.
Peter.
I'd like to know what we actually achieved by doing it. Does anyone really believe it made a difference to anything?
No material difference at all John. Just made you feel good. Nothing wrong with that either.
Just a long as people don't try and tell me because it made them feel so good that I should have done so as well. I also get upset when the Jehova's come arround telling the same thing about religion.
The earth frying and poles melting is a bit like the "your going to hell" thing.
Or buying a Toyota Prius and fooling yourself you are doing something good for the environment (doesn't hurt Toyota's profits though:()Quote:

But it was an interesting exercise (and dangerous if it comes down to OH&S)
I cannot complain as the Government made a statement last year that they are baning the sale of the standard Incandescent light globe as from the end of this year.
The globe to replace it (So I am told) requires a new type of light fitting.
As the regulations state that every lighting point must be earthed and every light circuit mus be protected by a safety switch this will mean in a lot of cases a total rewire and new switchboard
"Sorry Mrs Jones for me to replace that light globe it will cost you $5000"
As I'M an Electrical contractor The new BMW is looking good
cores i mad a diferance didnt you feel how cold it was thismorning they fixed global warming:D.Quote:
