I'm sitting in a dark room, but I normally am anyways, lol. I'm indifferent towards Earth Hour.

| No...I don't like having sex in the dark. Plus we're leaving the appartment in a bit for the evening, so I figure the whole night with the lights being left off thereafter will make up the difference. |

i believe i read somewhere that a display showing a greater number of black pixels vs. one displaying a greater number of white pixels consumes less energy. if so, thats clever on google's part ! |

| We turned our lights off. It was kinda cool to have to do something other than watch TV or go online for once. |

I forgot, but was in the middle of on online exam for a class anyway and wouldn't have shut everything off.

(although I use those low wattage CFC bulbs anyway, so whatever). |

Google users in Canada will notice today that we "turned the lights out" on the Google.ca homepage as a gesture to raise awareness of a worldwide energy conservation effort called Earth Hour. As to why we don't do this permanently - it saves no energy; modern displays use the same amount of power regardless of what they display. However, you can do something to reduce the energy consumption of your home PC by joining the Climate Savers Computing Initiative. |

| I turned out all the lights in the house, lit a few candles, and spent the hour having a very relaxing bath. |
