- On Saturday, March 29 at 8pm millions of people around the world will turn off their lights for one hour - Earth Hour - symbolizing the need to take action on climate change.
I think this is great and all ppl in the world should be aware and take action for future generations...
My cell alarm is set, candles & matches are set out, crank-charge flashlights & crank-charge radio are ready to go! I may just take a good nap through the occasion:-) Wish I could be in a big city to witness it in person when the lights go out:-D That would be neat to see.
One of the best hours in life just enjoyed the Silence. I hope next year the whole world joins and not only for an hour let the 60 be 120.
I convinced my family to turn all electric appliances off for an hour. We had a chat in candle light and talked about things that really matter. We brainstormed to figure out on which things we could improve to use less water,electricity,fuel,etc..
I hope initiatives like this will happen on a more frequent basis, to make sure the maximum amount of people is reached with this important message!
Too bad I had to find out about this on youtube...
All the best from Antwerp Belgium!!
The whole world caring about the same thing at the same time (EARTH!!!). This is amazing.
I live in Atlanta i remember doing this at the GM plant. At 8:00 we pulled the main breaker and shut down the plant for an hour it was pretty neat.
congratulations city of Sidney to your step & contribution for the better climate
Me and my friends took part in this act as I asked them to. It was nice to feel that something so little as turning the lights off for an hour can make a positive stain in the statistics.
Candels make a nice source of light too. :)
I'm from New York, and me and about 5 more families will turn off our lights..For Earth Hour 2008!
As a Sydney sider I was so proud to be part of this last year, I defiantly will be doing it again this year, hopefully it will become an annual thing.
I just wish he'd pronounced Brisbane correctly.
it's not just the bunch of electricity that we save, it's making a statement, making a statement that we care! and that we are starting to take our first step!
It's 8 pm your local time (at your city). So if you live in New York and I live in California, you'll turn off your lights 3 hours before I do. The idea is to save energy for an hour. So even if this is done at different time throughout the world (each person at their local time 8 pm), by having millions of people participating there will a tremendous amount of energy saved altogether.
gracias!
Eeveryone, please contribute. It's a very important issue. I encourage every one of you to send this video to all your contacts and urge them to pass it to all of there contacts. Pur world is dying, but we can help give it life once more, for our next generation to enjoy
Attention all you Jeremy Piven fans:
Jeremy will be at Rockit Bar & Grill in Chicago, IL this Saturday June 28 for the Annual Piven Theatre Workshop Benefit.
Come check it out and support a great cause!
The Earth Hour's website says you have to do it on your local time, so it would be 8 pm for you. That means that not everyone is doing it at the same time, but at their local time. It still works. The idea is to save energy for an hour.
Solo hazlo en tu hora local a las 8 pm junto con tus vecinos. En el la pagina de internet the Earth Hour dice que lo hagamos en nuestra hora local. :)

i think this is a really postive movement that can make a difference and convince people that global warming is in fact, real
Awesome..
Thanks Roy
hi all! we're reallly happy to join earth hour as well. new video on our page.
This is so great! I'm so touched! But when will we turn off the lights again? 'Cause the last time, I missed! =(
The energy used to prepare, market, and get to and from Earth Hour events takes WAY more energy than is saved by the hour.
And since people will feel good about themselves, they will be less likely to do any real change over the months after. This is a very damaging event and a great example of the law of unintended consequences.
I'll be doing this...I'm italian and the Earth Hour is arrive to Italy too! We have to make something for the Earth!
one person can increase political pressure for industry to decrease pollution and for countries like the US to sign Kyoto
It's March 29, 9pm in New Zealand, the first country to complete the '08 earth hour challenge. We made a difference! You can too!!
i did it for 1 hour straight i support this cause strongly no matter how little or how much it effects the earth as long as i know i contributed it is a cool thing to do
i turned off everything, i think this is important for raising awareness... we're not fixing the world in one hour, but it is one step in the right direction

Colossians 3:22: Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to win their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. (see also Ephesians 6:5-9, Titus 2:9, and 1 Peter 2:18)
How does one measure the Average temperature of an immensely complex system such as the earth? What average temp is the earth supposed to be? why is a slightly warmer earth inherently more undesirable than a colder one? Isn't Summer weather much more preferable to winter? Wouldn't a warmer earth reduce the number of freezing deaths? Wasn't there a media-induced global warming scare in the 1930's? Wast there a global freezing scare in the late 1960's? Am I being rhetorical or what?
I've done my earth hour today :)
I agree with you completely and entirely.
No se necesita hacer cambios de horario. En la pagina web de Earh Hour dice que lo hagamos en nuestra hora local. Aunque pienso que si estas en Espana creo que este mensaje te esta llegando cerca de lo hora en que tienes que apagar tus luces. De 8 a 9 pm (tu hora local), es el momento en que uno utiliza mas luz y por eso se escogio esa hora. De nada sirve apagar las luces durante el dia o cuando uno este durmiendo. Por eso dicen que es en la hora local. :)
Actually Helmut, the Earth does go through cycles of warming and cooling, and the last ice age was, just as the next one will be, caused by the Milankovitch Cycle which accounts for Orbital Procession (like a top's top which wobbles as it spins), Axial Tilt, and Orbital Eccentricity. Every 100,000 years or so, they line up so that the N. Hem. is tilted away at the max tilt when the orbit is most eccentric, and that is an ice age which we are just now coming out of.
Here in Manila, Just now, we just finished Earth Hour. it was a good experience
not sure if that really contributes for just one night, but that does sensibilise the citizens.
MUMBAI was also a part of EARTH HOUR 2008
Wow wonderfull,thats right
very good video,peoples save the world
Awseome! Great Idea!
we can do something. we can reduce our impact on earth so that we dont use all the resources up instantly. we can prolong the presence of mankind on earth by sustainably using our resources
right on!
I am turning on all of mine to promote the building of new nuclear power plants. It is technology we have right now, its safe and clean and doesn't effect "global warming", which we have no control over.
Sent to all my youtube contacts...
It should be done on the first day of each month.
Deuteronomy 23:2: No one born of a forbidden marriage nor any of his descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD, even down to the tenth generation.
i am waiting for Las Vegas :))
That may strain your eyes. Keep all your lights on. Good lighting is important.
I refuse to turn out my lights tonight in support of "Earth Hour" because I refuse to be in the dark about Global Warming.
we the people have to try to save the world
You turn off the lights when the clock turns 8 where you are. The time difference doesn't matter, my family and I turned off our lights about 1½ hour ago, and stared to turn a few lights on again some minutes ago.
For a moment in time we all remembered at once (ultimately speaking) the most important thing,(the planet that sustains us) that's a very powerful way to use the collective consciousness. What could be more promising ...
Support earth hour!!! Turn your lights OFF at 8.30 pm, 28 March 2009... Where ever you are!
You got a small point, saying that cow farts actually does alot. But eating more big mac will just higher the amount of cows produced to make big macs for you. More solutionary will be not eating any cow meat.
Anyway: It should be done more often. Once a month maybe.
We left our light off for like, 3 hours.
Around 11, my mum's like "I guess we can turn 'em back on, right?"
Update from ASIA:
In Bangkok, WWF-Thailand said the lights out campaign saved 73.34 megawatts of electricity, which would have produced 45.8 tons of carbon dioxide.
Reports from the Philippines say Manila's Earth Hour event was a success. The Cultural Center of the Philippines, Manila City Hall, shopping malls, several streets and government buildings of the financial hub of Makati City and the Roxas Boulevard along the Manila Bay switched off for the hour.
This is wonderful!
American Politicians took action and changed when we change our clocks in Spring...the idea was that it was going to save money... it turns out it didnt make any difference.
Interesting video -- but all of those office towers should have their lights off anyways at 8 pm on a Saturday!
You are partly right, CO2 DOES follow temp increase, however, it is the increase in CO2 that starts the cycle: Increase in CO2 causes higher temps, higher temps melt permafrost. This permafrost is a LARGE CO2 container, and when it melts LOTS of CO2 is released, this is what causes another rise in CO2 concentration which FOLLOWS temp increase. Also, you throw around the word "natural," and I am wondering if you know some of the natural processes you speak of.
Why point out what everyone is NOT doing - that just excuses you from doing SOMETHING. The point of this is to DO something rather than complain about everyone else. Don't give excuses, take ACTION!
It's all those damn colors leaving all those damn lights on.
WOo Jeremy Piven!!
Thank you! I mean, are we also supposed to stop breathing for one hour, since we breathe out CO2? it is after all, now considered a pollutant. I spent the hour driving my gas guzzling V6 and exhaling plenty of CO2 in my suburb of one of those cities (Atlanta, love the way he put emphasis on it!)
Nice vid., many people must see this.
after watching this I am totally willing to cooperate with mother nature and turn off all my lights :)... although I think that we should do that for a whole day...that would be a feat!
I take my "research" from my Universtiy Lectures on Atmospheric Chemistry. Turning off the lights for an hour isn't going to do anything. It's true without greenhouse gases we wouldn't survive on earth- but there is a direct correlation between carbon emissions and mean global temperature. It's true that preceding an ice age, the temperature of the Earth reaches a maximum and this could just be the case... but the temperature increase is rather significant and greater than the expected trend..
I am so doing this if I am home at that time =D
It's at 8PM for your own local time.
There should be an earth hour each night........
my aunt lives in atlanta but i'm belgian and yeah i'm in it too
Muito bom a iniciativa !!!
he also said, "Chicago, ATL, and SF"
I made sure to turn all the lights in my house on at 8pm and turned my A/C to 50.
Jeremy piven makes EVERYTHING BADASS
I'm with you!
i agree :D
i'm from mexico
so i'll start at 9pm
;D
we should have earth hour once a month if not more than that.
I'm totally gonna do that!
Well I did my part last night. Actually I turned off everything in the house besides fridge, subpump and furnace for nearly 2hours because I was playing monopoly by candle light with some friends. We didn't even notice when the hour was up. It was actually pretty fun.
To the turning off the street lights comment, I would really have wished, that we had done that in Denmark. A lot of people are turning off the lights, but the street lights were still bruning =/
Actually ozone depletion has been reverted since the 90s. Remember when the firsts coral reefs appeared, Co2 level were much higher than today. Remember Arctic ice cap didn't exist until 1 million year ago.
I just found out about this whole earth day, I think it's an amazing idea. Everyone MAKE chain letters! I started a text msg chain letter, I sent it to like 100 people and that is going to multiply FAST. I also made some email chain letterr. If we all make chain letters then we can spread the word at fast rates.
We all need to pitch in, it's only one hour.
just did it. I live in Vancouver!
excellent
im from philippines and im gonna do it too. go earth hour
Ok. I will do it at 8 PM Eastern time. that is the time zone I am in.
I am only here because of Mr. Piven!
im up for it! but my parents not so much ..
Happy Earth Hour!
If too many people turn off their lights, the energy companies will have increase their rates to offset their lost revenue.
If my electric bill goes up, I'll kick your asses!
I did not become a part of Earth Hour, I was working. I feel so guilty? No. It was purely symbolic, in fact last year Sydney consumed more power as a result (add the premotion, travel to watch the black out, etc.). While I like the motives the real problem lies in the fact that there are too many people (1 Billion in 1804, 7 Billion by 2013) and green house gases have increased as a result.
i switched off the main duh... but was sitting at the terrace with my laptop... was wondering how many across the globe would be doing the same.....
all my lights are on...and all of my aplpiances.
For the last part of LordTataraus comment, maybe the term "Global Warming" should be changed so that people realize it's not so much about the temperature, but the extravagent changes that are resulting. Hurricaine Katrina, the Tsunami that hit Sri Lanka, extreme snowstorms one year and none the next...it isn't only through the consumption of electricity, but pollution of all sorts that are causing these "natural" disasters that are devastating cities and entire countries around the world
re-read the post...use oil for transportation and nukes for electricity...that will cut back GHG about 20-20% (replace coal fired electricity generation plants with nukes and peaking plants can remain natural gas)
I don't care, if idiots live around me, I'll be the brightest house on my block.
It turns out Sydney is 18 hours ahead so I'll just do it @ 8:00 Pacific.
Es tu decisión. Es tu responsabilidad
ok i will do it ! :p I live in Martinica
I can't wait for Hockey night in Canada. Toronto/Montreal should be a blinder, as Toronto hate Montreal and can no longer make the play offs, so they'll just be going ape whailing on them. And as an Avs fan, I need to watch EDM/CGY hoping that there's no overtime.
So which do you support? The ditry Oilers (Torres) or the dirty Flames (Iginla, Phaenuff)?
And before you say we're dirty, we're the least called team in the league :D
At least VS said so anyway.
