It can however be good for raising awareness; can lead to some reduction in electricity use and can lead onto more significant changes, which is the theme of this years campaign.<br /><br />We were at home by candlelight this year rather than out and about as we have been in previous years. Those years we have noticed the lack of lights off in public buildings though; but when we've walked back the same route once Earth Hour is over we see more lights must have been switched off than we had first realised. The 'lights required for security' are always left on even during Earth Hour.Crafty Green Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486633917197181851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-7957375682679243382011-03-27T09:38:05.485+01:002011-03-27T09:38:05.485+01:00Athough personally I think Earth Hour is little mo...Athough personally I think Earth Hour is little more than greenwash, I went up the Salisbury Crags (here in Edinburgh) with a group of people to look out over the city and watch the lights going off. Of the various big public buildings, which ones observe Earth Hour? We saw the lights go off at the Castle, and the Balmoral Hotel, and one office or university building, but that was all – a pretty pathetic display!Howard of Belvedere Mountain Expresshttp://www.pigeonhouse.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-9025662977220608782011-03-26T15:19:16.244+00:002011-03-26T15:19:16.244+00:00I always forget!

There is still no power in the central business district, and the network in the east and south (where we are) is very fragile, so we are all conserving power as much as we can, all the time.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08236329216260906624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-62148183259003108222011-03-23T17:46:40.314+00:002011-03-23T17:46:40.314+00:00Thanks for the reminder.
