Who thinks Earth Hour is a crock of dung? Don%26#039;t get me wrong. I am concerned about environmental issues and I really do think we need to limit our use of energy.But this gesture is symbolic and doesn%26#039;t mean anything. The next day, everyone is going to undo all the %26#039;savings%26#039; just by driving to work. Mathematically, the amount of energy saved by turning off a few lights for ONE HOUR a year is almost zero.

• I don%26#039;t think its a crock. I think its cool. You are missing the point. It%26#039;s not about saving energy for that hour but making people more conscious that there is an energy resource and we shouldn%26#039;t be wasting it.

• your%26#039;e missing the point....it draws awareness to people that YES...the earth is going thru changes and maybe...just maybe doing something like this will make a difference if not to the earth but then poeple just to do something will make a difference in their mind and make them more conscious...do you have any brainstorms???? 0% 0 Votes
• I think it%26#039;s cool, that the world can come together in this way for a good cause. It is not just going to be one hour as there is a time difference...so it will really be several hours of people in darkness, one hour at a time in different places. Mostly, this is to raise awareness and ANYTHING that grabs peoples attention and makes them think about environmental problems is a good thing. Stop being such a downer and be happy that people are trying to make an effort. 0% 0 Votes
• I think its a good idea. It raises awareness. People have lived on this planet for years and just because we will probably die when global warming will be like a big big issue we should still do something about it.
  
  I%26#039;m only 14 but I believe that one person can make a difference. The slightest thing can and maybe after the people will see how much energy was not used they will continue to use less.

• Yes, it%26#039;s a crock. And soon it will be a big spending spree so all the big manufactures (polluters) can sell you Earth Hour crap to wear while you drive around to your Earth Hour activities.
