Bou Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 (edited) You know what is this all about ;3 didn't know where to put this so .. here :D Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million homes and businesses turned their lights off for one hour to make their stand against climate change. Only a year later and Earth Hour had become a global sustainability movement with more than 50 million people across 35 countries participating. Global landmarks such as the, Sydney Harbour Bridge, The CN Tower in Toronto, The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and Rome’s Colosseum, all stood in darkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by the hour. In March 2009, hundreds of millions of people took part in the third Earth Hour. Over 4000 cities in 88 countries officially switched off to pledge their support for the planet, making Earth Hour 2009 the world’s largest global climate change initiative. Earth Hour 2010 takes place on Saturday 27 March at 8.30pm (local time) and is a global call to action to every individual, every business and every community throughout the world. It is a call to stand up, to take responsibility, to get involved and lead the way towards a sustainable future. Iconic buildings and landmarks from Europe to Asia to the Americas will stand in darkness. People across the world from all walks of life will turn off their lights and join together in celebration and contemplation of the one thing we all have in common – our planet. It’s Showtime! Show the world what can be done.

Ethereal Posted March 28, 2010 Report Posted March 28, 2010 First off, there is no need to call someone who actually participates in this event "a fuckin hippie." But that does NOT mean you get to bash someone and then bring up something that is completely irrelevant to their post. So this is a warning to all of you to stop bashing. And by the way, I participated in the event. It seemed kind of boring without electricity for an hour, but I always manage to find something else to do for an hour.
