• It would be dark and I wouldnt have to go to work
• damage isn%26#039;t done in one day, and problems like global warming can not be changed or fixed in one day. no effect
• Lots of stupid, useless people would panic and die, and I would just go for a bike ride in the mountains. People are too dependent on cars and electricity. Sure, they make life easier (sometimes), but mostly they just cost money and lives, and are more trouble than they are worth. I have food and water stored, bikes to ride, candles and oil lamps, guns and ammo, and books to read. Bring it on. Nothing could make me happier.
• Slim to none...and Slim just walked out the door! Good idea though, but you still would have all those buses, trains, planes and ships etc. Not to mention a zillion factories, cranes and power tools to beat the band. All kinds of other junk crankin%26#039; out the sh!t. It would take years to change anything.
• One obvious impact would be that hundreds of millions of people would not get to work. That might make a fairly significant impact.
• To start people would die. No lights no hospitals, no surgery, no water from pumps or city supplies, babies in incubators in NICU are in trouble and you better hope you don%26#039;t need a defibulator.
  No cars, no ambulances or firetrucks or police cars. No food delivery, so no milk for children.
  As for impact on the earth, after all the people dependent on electrical power or emergency surgery died there would be fewer to use resources but as has been shown in past power outages those dead people would be replaced about 9 months later.
  The problem is that one forest fire or volcanic eruption would overshadow anything you gained by shutting off lights and not using a car.
• None because to much damage has been done it would take more days then you been alive to have an impact on the environment.
• None...because that%26#039;s impossible...
