Earth hour works in countries like norway, denmark and a few others who gain wast ammounts of their electricity from renewable resources. For the US and most european countries, this is truly a waste of coal/plutonium
Meh, this whole "save the planet" thing is a bunch of hogwash that makes Al Gore lots and lots of money which he spends using items that use more electricity in an hour than I do in a week. If the West stops using oil, coal and other resources simply to "save the planet" China and India will simply step into the void and claim them themselves.
The next thing I say might sound cruel, however, the truth always hurts. The ONLY way to save the planet is to stop the current explosion of third and second world populations. Stop immigration, make people feed and sustain their own countries. No welfare, no food aid, no free medical care, no financial aid to backward countries, no free this and that. Make people pay their own way like people had to do before social states came about.
The whole notion of the brotherhood of man is a lie. Please do yourself a favour and realise that it isn't true. People will use your good will and stab you in the back the first chance they get. Take care of you and yours first and then branch out from there. Family, friends, community and country. That is what matters. If other people cannot do it themselves, they become a burden to us all.
The real problem currently is that people who take care of themselves cannot afford to have large families, those that don't have incredibly large families that become welfare dependent. It is a ticking time bomb. Call me cruel, call me evil. However, the truth will catch up with you all eventually. At least I tell it like it is.

Anywho.
Anyone that thinks conserving electricity or anything like this at all will save the earth or even help a little, is wrong. It may prologue the earth's survival by a minute or two, maybe.. But the only REAL solution to saving the earth is to stop populating the earth. Right now we're increasingly populating the earth at a rate that's gonna be reeaaalllyyy regretful later on. If we stop now we might have a chance.
EDIT: Also, Dancing Lady, showers aren't a good way to conserve water whether it be hot or cold. I think the ratio is like 1 minute / 16 gallons. Though i could be wrong.
Yup, and soon we are all going to end up in a real world scenario of
Hey, I did my bit by contributing assorted gases into the atmosphere so that they'd be easier for the planet to recycle them.
That's the polite way of saying I took the old carpeting and foam pad that I've pulled up (because we're putting in new carpeting), took it out back, poured some used engine oil on it, and lit it on fire. It easily burned for more than an hour.
