Why is nobody in Montreal supporting earth hour?

Everyone in Toronto has thier lights off to respect earth hour. Yet Montreal is bright as ever?

What's going on people I thought Toronto was self-fish and had no culture?

no i'm serious, turn off the light for one hour, so what? what will it change?? I understand its symbolic...

I was getting groceries tonight and noticed that the Empire State Building was black. Scary until I saw the news reporting the Earth Hour.

If I had night vision I would turn off the lights

ok, at least you got that part

and im probably saying this for nothing, cause you probably already all know that and are just messing here, but i believe the earth hour is meant to make people aware of the problem. for most people, they are already fully aware of human impact on global environment, but for some, this kind of action can make a big difference.

+1, Insightful


I support the movement, but 1 hour is nothing. A lot of people don't even recycle paper... and I'm saying the type of recycling where you re-use the paper's other side, not just dump it in the blue bin. Regardless, the lights at my house are always dimmed, makes it easier on the eyes when on the computer.

Ya, ACTUAL recycling, like you described is good.

Throwing stuff in the blue bin is a big waste, apparently they only use a small portion of what they receive at the recycling plant, which isn't a big surprise.

While I do think there is a big problem concerning the environment, I don't think it will be a global solution that everyone adopts that will solve the problem. It will be a series of smaller solutions that WAY more people will use, instead of 1 big giant solution that the sensationalist environmentalists come up with.

All in all though, awareness is good and that's what earth hour is for.

Ok... people think about it for an hour... and they forget right after

Its like when christmas comes... people give... so they dont have to do it for the whole year

Same thing for freakin valentines day etc




One hour of SKYDOO (snowbyke or whavter its called) = 1 year of using a car

Stop that first... after that we'll talk

I even heard on the news i think... that the one hour thingy for the whole montreal .... is exactly like 6 years of only one car usage... hummmmm :s

That means a lot if its true

Because we were all watching the hockey game.

Not only does the majority get thrown away anyways, but to recycle generally takes more energy than to just manufacture a new from raw materials.

Consequently, considering that greenhouse gas emissions are our primary concern right now (as opposed to resource preservation)... recycling is actually quite counter-productive.

That being said, yes, it's the reduce and reuse parts that are effective and need to be emphasized. Instead, we have self-righteous assholes who think that by recycling half of their case of 24 water-bottles, they're doing everyone a favor

They're not actually trying to save energy by turning off the lights.
For an hour, that's kind of naive.
It's symbolic in this case, they're trying to make people aware of the
problem.
This kind of action has a snowball effect. People see, do it, people
get interested, now we have more people, people follow a bigger mass bla
bla bla.
A simple psychological fuck.

I turned off my Virus TI for the first time since I got it for Earth Hour. My desk looked so boring without all the LEDs blinking =(

loooolololol !!!

did you guys know that burning a wood fire at your place for an hour is equal to 40 cars running for a year?

But no one says anything about that.... ahhh wood fires are soo cute.

did u know that a fourth of our air pollution is due to cows farting? It's true, it's damn true.

Ya but a lot of people use the Eco friendly fireplaces nowadays.

Also, I guarantee you a much larger number of people use their car or should I say abuse their car than the number of people that even own fireplaces let alone use them, ever.

Problem with the whole car thing is that as you live further and further from the city it just starts making less and less sense to rely on public transit to get you in every day (in a timely manner).

Some environmentalists will say "tax the fuck out of gas once and for all and force people to ride the bus!"

I guarantee you that if we woke up tomorrow and gas prices were what they are in London ($3 per litre) the AMT and STM would shit their pants trying to deal with the retarded number of idiots trying to get on buses/metros/trains.

Our transport services, lifestyles and infrastructure just aren't ready yet to greatly reduce the amount of cars on the road, so maybe the hippies should focus their energy on other areas and let the whole car thing run it's course, as we all know it will, gas prices aren't going back to what they were, not now not ever.
