jeffpugh Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Anyone hear about this? Apparently there's a call for everyone to turn off their lights and electronic stuff to raise some sort of awareness to climate change or something? I don't know the details... but anywho I wanna see who's getting involved. I won't be seen till 9 I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galloglasses Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I've heard about it. I gurantee you fully 50% of people here in Ireland either didn't hear about this, will forget this or don't give a cud about this. The other 50% would be the ones who won't do it out of spite.

I'm just waiting for the hard-core anti-global warming peoples to come and comment. Any time now... I'm sure they wouldn't mind turning of the lights though. Saves hydro.

Galloglasses Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I'd only turn off the lights if I had too many of them on within reason. Waste of money. I love trees and forest, I love nature. I'm not gonna sacrifice for it though because the global warmist, (enviromental guys), want me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have if I had known about this a few hours ago. hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
