Earth Hour -- Slide Show

Yesterday night, 8:30 - 9:30, was "Earth Hour". Did you remember? Did you turn off your power? Some of it? Granted, it was more a symbolic gesture than anything, sometimes symbolic gestures count (and soemtimes they only just make us feel good).

Here's a slide show of how Earth Hour was celebrated around the world.



Of course, not everybody likes the idea of preserving the environment.

The link to the opposition of Earth Hour made me crack up. If you dont want to do earth hour then dont do it, but trying to cancel other peoples honest and good natured effort to cover up their carbon footprints is just a bitchy thing to do.

What kind of a person turns on all their lights during Earth hour. That is so bitchy. Do they have something against perserving our planet? That is really stupid.
