Earth Hour - Did you Participate?

[sportysmurf]

Hi all,

just a quick question, because my inquiring mind wants to know.

Did you participate in Earth Hour and if so, what did you do? If not, why not?

C'mon I know we all have more than just fanfic on our minds :)

*poke, poke*

Edit

Wow - I must say I'm impressed, but not surprised, that my fellow writers are also earth-conscious.

Err, I fell asleep before... does that count? I had the lights out though, so I guess...
Btw, I'm sitting here and am waiting for you to come online *pouts*

[sportysmurf]

Heh, at least you weren't sitting in the dark waiting for me to come online...

[inspectorboxer]

Turned everything off but the computer... ;)

[sportysmurf]

If I'd been at home, the plan was to go on battery power alone ;)

[qbeck]

Yep :)

Same as last year. Family was at my folks for my mom's birthday, we turned everything off and checked out the neighbours to see if they were doing the same thing ;)

[sportysmurf]

Nice - now we all just have to work on using less all the time. Maybe I'll try just using my laptop as long as one battery charge goes per day or something... Wish I could do that at work :)

We were headed out of town anyway, but turned off every thing possible and didn't leave on the outside light for when we would come back. Pepe, our cat, didn't even seem to mind that we didn't leave the radio on for him as company.

Hopefully it didn't cause you difficulties when you arrived back in the dark!

[lexx223]

yup. Every year me and siblings turn off all the lights in the house, and play poker (using a flashlight :P).

[sportysmurf]

I bet its easier to bluff in the dark!

[lexx223]

it also gives new meaning to 'blind' bets :P
