Posted March 26, 2011 Bit late guys but it's nearly 8:30pm, which is Earth Hour. So please, help make this an hour to remember by turning on absolutely every single electronic device in your household. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 26, 2011 If I were to turn everything off I'd be sitting in the dark, bored and by myself. Fuck that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 26, 2011 No thanks, I rather watch European Championship instead, it's Norway vs denmark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 26, 2011 Done. Please tell me you realise what I said was intentional right? We literally have every thing turned on here. I'd rather speed up the process of exhausting the materials we need for power so they'll finally put their asses in gear and find a decent renewable source. Earth Hour is a complete waste of time. It's only real purpose is to keep reminding people about the situation. We all know. It's like cancer awareness, we're all aware, so please rename your cause to some thing that doesn't sound retarded. How about next Earth Day they get every one to use a program similar to Fold@Home to calculate different compositions of biofuel or similar that may be effective?

Posted March 26, 2011 I was at work during 'Earth Hour' so all of my electrical appliances were turned off anyway... :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 26, 2011 As I said to herojan earlier: Earth Hour is pointless, turning the lights on and off wastes more electricity than keeping them on! So please, help make this an hour to remember by turning on absolutely every single electronic device in your household. You need a name for this new movement :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 27, 2011 turning the lights on and off wastes more electricity than keeping them on! This particular statement is false. It's been tested. It's simply a myth told to kids to stop them from playing with the lights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 27, 2011 I have 6-8 Earth hours a day, I think i'm good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 27, 2011 I have 6-8 Earth hours a day, I think i'm good Don't we all, why waste another hour with lights off. If thats the case, move to mobiles/portable devices. Charged up before Earth hour, makes no difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 27, 2011 This particular statement is false. It's been tested. It's simply a myth told to kids to stop them from playing with the lights. It depends on the type of bulb. Flourescent bulbs can use up to 24 seconds of energy just from powering up. Most bulb types it makes barely any difference though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 27, 2011 Yeah, I think the difference is generally minuscule for regular filament bulbs, but I think for florescent ones it's worth leaving on for like 5 minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 27, 2011 Possibly. I was going by what the MythBusters had found out, but I don't remember the specifics of the tests. I don't recall there being any "buts" to the conclusion, however. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
