Earth Hour
So apparently people and cities around the world will go dark at 8PM tonight for "Earth Hour" in order to lower carbon emissions. It's a cute idea, but I wonder how effective it really will be in achieving that goal. The article said that people will be going to green-powered outdoor movies (to which they will drive many gas-powered cars), and having candle-light dinners (the pre-8 o'clock preparation for which will require the operation of ovens, stoves, mixers, etc.)
Kind of reminds me of how experts calculated that 100,000 trees would need to be planted to counteract Al Gore's "Live Earth."
