awesome!! whatever happens after the lights r switched on again but the measure taken is very inspiring..atleast australia cares for the earth...we all should take steps to reduce the use of electicity in our daily lives...this will help us to survive or global warming may kill us all!!
Saturday March 29th, 2008 ... 35 countries around the world, took part of the "Earth Hour" where during one hour, they all abided to a total electrical "blackout."
The even proved to be disastrous in the aftermath, when millions of furious women, noticed that their husband during this total darkness, had used the bathroom, and while urinating, ... had completely missed the toilet bowl !!! lol
The conduct of mankind will determine the time of the messiah coming. In general, it is believed that the messiah will come in a time when he is most needed (because the world is so sinful), or in a time when he is most deserved (because the world is so good). According to the Jewish "Gmarah":
finally someone with some sense!!! Glad to see that there are still some people left in this world with real intelligence rather than just being led around like sheep by people with huge political agendas.
MERCI MERCI!!! Finalement, un sense d'èspoire pour le monde. Peut-être les choses v'ont changer pour le mieux... éventuellement... on èspere :) Solidaritée Mondiale? J'èspêre beaucoup.
I would be happy right now if everyone across the globe would just participate for one hour this year! I'm hoping for lots of people to embrace this event so we can move this agenda to the forefront of converstation.
You're ahead of many of us Bro but it's just a matter of time that our fragile ecosystem with her finite resources becomes the most important priority for everyone.
Ah ParaE! Sometimes I get very sad, angry, and depressed about my perception of nature as fragile, and ecosystems are I suppose, but then something shows me how immortal Nature is and i can laugh again for awhile... - Drogo
It truly is a brilliant piece of advertising. Call me a cynic though, but wasn't this whole event planned as a means of providing a major publicity boost to their home town?
Um, thank you for stating the obvious georgemelb. And you know what, it will work - just wait until March next year when other truly GLOBAL cities are all following SYDNEY's example. Jealous?
True this idea may have been concieved by the city of Sydney, or the advertising agency who produced it (Leo Burnet, Sydney) to promote their city, but even so, props to Sydney. Wouldn't you rather visit a city that understands the problem of global warming? Or even a city that bought on to an idea that makes a difference? One thing is for sure, if this is a campaign to boost interest in Sydney, they sure as hell didn't take the traditional "Visit Sydney" rout.
Certainly would be an interesting way to encourage polluting air travel. But really, it is more about image than the tourist dollar. The aim is to show Sydney as a progressive, enlightened city, when in reality it is rather a conservative and intolerant place, obsessed with its own image and being seen as a 'global' city. I don't mean to be so harsh, it's still a great city by any standards. But it's a shame that such a worthy environmental cause had to be mixed so heavily with civic propaganda.
Haha George "Melb" you are just jealous that Sydney is seen as Australia's GLOBAL CITY and thoe whole world has never even hear of bleak little Melbourne. Sydney is hosting the APEC meeting right now - the most important Meeting ever held in Australia. I hope they come up with something on climate change to replace Kyoto- and it will be called the Sydney Agreement of course!

When will the Messiah appear to us on Earth?
The conduct of mankind will determine the time of the messiah coming. In general, it is believed that the messiah will come in a time when he is most needed (because the world is so sinful), or in a time when he is most deserved (because the world is so good). According to the Jewish "Gmarah":
When observing two Shabbats in a row.
There is NO lights on a Shabbat.
Switch the lights OFF for TWO-DAYS!

Its also in 2008. Turn off your lights at 8:00 on March 29th (Tonight) and turn them back on at 9, and you can say you participated in Earth Hour.

ok but what about when everyone turned the lights back on, the power draw would be immense, hence wasting more energy than was saved.
