Are you going to participate in Earth Hour tonight at 8:30 pm. local time?

<p>Earth Hour isn’t the only thing we’ve done to save energy…most of the bulbs in the house are CFL’s, we retired our SUV for a sedan, we unplug “vampire” appliances…Not looking for kudos for participating last night…we realize real change takes alot more than that</p>

<p>Earth Hour was expensive and consumed more energy than it saved. </p>

<p>I would suggest instead to turn every home / office (including Oval office) to 63 F winter time. Oval office is currently at 72 F, talking hypocrosy even in a little things.</p>

…“I pulled up to Al’s house <a href=“Al%20Gore”>i</a>*, located in the posh Belle Meade section of Nashville, at 8:48 p.m. – right in the middle of Earth Hour.” </p>

<p>“I found that the main spotlights that usually illuminate his 9,000 square foot mansion were dark, but several of the lights inside the house were on.” </p>

<p>He added: “The kicker, though, were the dozen or so floodlights grandly highlighting several trees and illuminating the driveway entrance of Gore’s mansion. I [kid] you not, my friends, the savior of the environment couldn’t be bothered to turn off the gaudy lights that show off his goofy trees.” …

<p>Interesting after effect. We are more conscious of turning off lights this week. So, the awareness thing is carrying over in our house.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t worry about Gore’s house all that much. We couldn’t turn off some of our outdoor security lights, maybe they had a similar situation…</p>
