Hopefully we get more students and I can get a raise!

No, I will not be turning off my lights.

Yeah, I'll be turning off all the lights in my house at 8:30.  I'm very environmentally conscious.

They put out their lanterns and torches there for Earth Hour? Cool.
Must be a bitch to restart the cooking fires though.

No.  If the goal is to get people to use less electricity, the real solution is higher prices, not hoping that they will use less.

It's such a stupid symbolic excercise with no longterm effect, so no I won't. Unless I'm tired and just want to take a nap.

I like laughing at the idiots who participate in this and then, while their lights are off, take photos (with a flash lamp), tweet and blog and surf the net, watch TV and go to cafes to congregate with fellows goddamn hippies - probably not realizing that by doing so they consume much more energy than they save by turning the lights off.

I wish people like that died in a fire.
