Earth Hour

Earth Hour is a useless idea. Australia brags of it's 10.2 percent reduction in the city's greenhouse gas emissions for the hour. The fact that people are proud of polluting a little less for one hour is startling. The other 8,765 hours a year the whole of man kind melts away the atmosphere, dump their garbage as they see fit, and kill animals. It could be seen as a step forward even though turning on and of a whole city of electricity ends up using more energy than would have been consumed in the hour. Even though it is about awareness, 'I'm turning out my lights for an hour' says 'keep me in the dark' not 'switch to alternative sources of fuel and conserve energy'.
