Can anyone tell me the sense in a community tuning out it's household lights, while the streets remain fully illuminated?
What is the point, in a coal-fired, power-derived society of tuning out the house lights in the full and complete knowledge that coal continues to be fed to furnace fires to heat steam for turbines? Nothing changes, people! You can shut off your house lights and nothing happens!! Not a bloody thing! Emissions don't go down. Carbon dioxide isn't reduced. Turning off your lights for a hour has to be the most futile of symbolic gestures I've ever heard of.
Why not do something more productive. Breed frogs. Stop feeding wildlife in national parks. Don't throw your cigarette butt out of the car window. Get involved in solar cell technology by installing some on your roof. Make your own beer for crissakes!!!!
You think turning your lights out for an hour makes a dot of difference to the ultimate fate of the species and this planet we all live on? Wake the fuck up!!!!!!!!!
