EARTH HOUR - thank christ its over…I can play Wii again.

 

Ok - I get it, Earth Hour, one hour out of our lives to save the earth.  When are we going to stop and think that Earth Hour is a HUGE gimmick and we need something better.  Perhaps this is just the beginning of something larger, perhaps we are slowly bringing all of you into what you should have been aware of long ago, perhaps most of you don’t give a shit.  For one hour we all shut our lights out (well, I actually got drunk and forgot and played Wii until I could no longer move my right arm - hey, at least I am honest).  Most of the world has to live in darkness when the sun goes down everyday.  Why are we only giving an hour once a year?  Is it true that we cannot live without electricity - wrong!  We should turn this into once a month, than week, than day only to realize how much we could all do on a daily basis to help this earth.  Fans on in the bathroom - running water when taking a shit, lights turned on for “ambiance”  its all a little retarded if you ask me.  I know that in that hour we saved enough electricity to power up a small Somalian County and their communal volkswagen van, but we need more.  We all need to do our own personal Earth Hour EVERYDAY.  Sit at your desk or on your couch right now and look around at what you currently could do without.  I just turned the extra light off on my desk - do the same.  And then go home and do it all over again…check it out - its not about an hour, once a year, its about a lifestyle.
