I think everyone doing their best to lessen their enviromental footprint would be a lot more effective than a small portion of people turning off their lights for an hour.
Better than nothing though.

The message is what counts, it gives us something to think about.
Besides, if all goes well, we might be able to see the starry sky in cities! ^^

I unwittingly participated last year. Looks like I'll unwittingly participate again this year because I won't be home. Anyway, I keep everything off and unplugged when not in use, which is almost all of the time.

WTF is with this false dichotomy. Pro-Earth =/= anti-man. Why do the miniminds among us always seem to think that? Good god...

It's a symbolic event to bring about awareness of conservation (which, by the way seems pretty pro-environment to me), they make it look as if it's some sort of glorification of luddism.

How about doing something less symbolic and more, effective? Like devoting a week to take extra effort to recycle? That's both pro environment, and efficient. And actually does something.

Symbolic events rarely change anything. I doubt this event has helped anyone see the light and had them change their ways. Everyone knows they should conserve energy. Very few do conserve energy.

Hey, you gotta raise awareness somehow, and little things like this do help. And how is it rejecting technology? It's just turning the lights off for an hour? You're making it into something it's not. A group around here is having a sleep-out for homelessness. Would you consider that a worthless effort, as well?
