Lights Dim Worldwide for Earth Hour 2009

[DBDMotorsports]

Come on. You fox news brainwashed republicans should face the actual facts

[wantstobeunknown]

So glad that people are participating in the Earth Hour. BUT WE SHOULD DO OUR PART IN SAVING THE EARTH EVERY DAY, AND EVERY NIGHT. Save energy, save trees, save water, save Earth, save lives!!

[QuantumPlenum]

Cute Idea...But all of the Mega-Corps around the world use so much energy - and we're all supposed to....what? Save energy? The whole energy generating system needs to be changed - run on natural renewable sources which leave no toxic aftermath - Global stunts like this, although many involved have good intentions, are just a show and can not make the changes people really want to see.

[AlliandoAlice]

It's fun playing with the candles though! Every year at earth hour we would burn stuff and play with the flame

[lastpoet1]

why would banks only interested in money care about u and the planet its just a tool 4 there idea of a world they own and in the abstract they dont give a fuck about us they just want a clean world 4 them cause there will be no 1 left to pic up the garbage 4 them 1s over 90 population is gone plp plz look behind the story i did and found out i was like every1 else til i found the banks r pushing this agenda then i asked why

[BeakyRed]

i didnt have to join because our electricity comes from hydro power but we just joined for the spirit :)

[chambocha]

just wanted to say that Australia started this initiative of earth hour.. and they didnt even mention us....

[skydownren]

this helps.....only a little.

If we don't change our behavior and conserve more energy, then it's still nothing.

[Joe402]

Way to shit up the comments conservatives.

[PoisonDrakeAssassin]

lol,what a bunch of bullshit.I don't give a flying fuck about global warming.I hope earth becomes a giant fucking microwave.

[Chouteau1]

Witch brings me to my next point, don't smoke crack!

[PoisonDrakeAssassin]

That's definitely advice your mother could have used when she was pregnant with you,you illiterate asshole.

[BeakyRed]

Idiot. Period

[PoisonDrakeAssassin]

Fuck you,asshole.

[kevsmith75]

@PoisonDrakeAssassin u r a idiot

[radiofriendly]

So mindless. I hope you all realize that the elite (power structure) is going to exploit this "crisis" to gain more centralized power over your life. Even if the "crisis" is real (and obviously, we have environmental problems), the EU and UN are in no way the solution. I beg you to open your eyes to this. This is really serious.

[fjwjr]

Lame. I turned EVERYTHING on and lit a puppy on fire and kicked a kitten.............

[njattack]

Earth hour is STUPID.

What do you think is going to happen next year? CRIME WILL BE RAMPANT! Every criminal will prepare for the hour that STUPID people will turn out their lights and power. Then, the criminals will STRIKE!

Bank robberies will be rampant!

Art theft will be rampant!

Violent crime will be rampant!

Earth hour is StUPID, DUMB. There are far better ways to demonstrate.

[TheNYFlame]

Yeah, uh-huh njattack.

Because EVERYONE participates. Because EVERY LIGHT is turned off. Because the city's that do participate really ARE shrouded in COMPLETE DARKNESS.

...OH WAIT. NEVERMIND.

[Nikiudel]

@njattack Bank robberies, art theft and violent crime will be rampant? Are you telling us your plan?

[bnaguy]

YOU can STOP Global Warming !

Send a tax deductable contribution to Al Gore Enterprises INC. ( $50 min please).

[tjwdraws]

so many negative Nellies in this thread! Sometimes SYMBOLS mean a lot and help people remember to conserve energy, reduce wasteful use of resources and think of issues beyond their own problems - issues that impact the entire globe. Climate change is real and if people don't think the rapidly increasing pollution (since the industrial revolution) of our atmosphere has nothing do with it - well, you are simply ignorant.

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

What's good for the environment may not always be good for decreasing instances of rape and molestation.

[jamestardy]

ok, this is real simple: globe is warming, we don't really know why (regardless of what you may hear), but, silly stuff like this only makes people think they are helping, hen it really just makes them FEEL like they are helping. See the difference?

[KevinufcLed91]

1 hour in a whole year aint gona make a difference.......1 hour a week might help but no1 seems 2 want to do that so its kinda pointless rli

[clearwater04]

whatever this does nothing to effect the world

[oOOEGyptPreasdentOOo]

Awesome

[LU29UN99]

There are some people earned their Nobel Peace Prize for a long time, so how come Al Gore got his in just a few days? this is BS. I dont believe in global warming. If there is, then this stupid planet would get hotter all seasons.

[L8nitedave]

that's what's happening.

[mickgolubovic]

LU29UN99, if you think this planet is stupid, could you please remove yourself from it? That would be awesome, thanks.

You don't believe in global warming? Are you a retard? Each Summer here gets hotter and fukn hotter!

I hope you kept the receipt for your brain...

[lordgaladedrid]

Yes, lets support a fucking carbon tax! (hey, we gotta support all these retarded bailouts all these governments are doing)

Turned everything on, perhaps next year people can get together and turn all their lights, we can spell one big FUCK YOU that can be seen in space.

[jus20012002]

What fools! I kept my lights on, climate change, my ass......

[JenkemJunkie]

Oh yes a few people sitting in the dark for one hour definitely postponed the end of the world for another year, just like eating a cracker and taking a sip of wine while chanting makes things like greed and adultery totally okay.

[CSIS25]

this to me is like pointless

[NoCussingClub]

Why don't they do this more often if they really cared. Hypocrites

[Maxxe4th]

it's supposed to set a sign... people show politicians that they care. But the lights on those big buildings are there for a reason. They are monuments of history and should be respected also! The goal is to reduce electrical "consumation" by science and economic changes...

[tiiaamii]

"Lights Dim Worldwide for Earth Hour 2009"

And so what?

[oeb2000]

where is the last tower based?

looks like the one in egypt..

[chuckles1954]

I turned on every lite I had and dried some clothes in the dryer. Cranked up both my cars and my generator. Even the lawnmower was running in the garage. Lit a bonfire of pine needles. My place looked like it was on fire. I'm sure they could see it from space. Fuck Algore.

[PhilipEbanks]

Awesome, dude.

[arequipa1]

"dim nonessential lights"? lol, i turned all mine off and lit some candles.

[abarzilai664]

And they saw more of the night sky.

[MrReminisce]

LOL Like glow sticks are environmentally friendly!

[arequipa1]

good point, haha
