Lights Out and BOOM

All right, so Earth Hour is closing quickly on us. If you don’t know what Earth Hour is than you should find out. Check Eart Hour‘s website here.

The idea is simple. on the 28th of March 2009, at 8:30 PM just switch off your lights for 60 minutes aka 1 hour. Do that and you show you give a damn. That’s the idea.

I will do it and I’m for all this kind of things, but I don’t really see the grand finaly of this. I understand that it’s a way to draw attention but hey, let me tell you a secret: if people are ignorant asses than you can bet whatever you want that they will be so touched by this that will actually drink another beer in honor of the Earth Hour.

I hope I’m wrong, but I really don’t see it people doing it at a massive scale. Look at their own videos. Except for Sydney, in major cities very few domestic lights were actually turned off. Another thing that bugs me is what’s the point? It’s a one time thing. You won’t save Flufy the polar bear and Squeeze the blue wail with 60 minutes, once a year. And yes, I get the idea that it’s a sign for the leaders and for all humanity. But I think that we do more by switching off the light when leaving the room, everyday.

And one more cynical ignorant and negative remark – I will laugh my ass off if people here in Bucharest really turn the lights off on a massive enough scale and because of complete coordination with the power companies everything will go BOOM.

But all these behind, it may not look like, but this blog and me and I hope that every one of those 5 people that wonder by chance on it will support this. There are many good reasons to do it and it will be fun!
