Looking around my neighborhood, no one else was participating.
Many are critical that Earth Hour is a public relations stunt. Even if it is, does that matter when the purpose is to draw attention to the fears of many that man-made global warming is real and is a threat to the earth's climate?
Well, turning off our lights for an hour will not stop climate change but it does demonstrate that our individual action is important and adds up to make a big difference. However, we must reduce our use of energy in a drastic way, and not just for 60 minutes in a year. I don't just turn off my lights for one hour a year; I do it every time I leave my room. If there isn't anyone else in the room, logically it shouldn't need to be lit up.
So, did you participate in Earth hour?
