The Scene in Christchurch during Earth Hour
What negativity all over the web. "I am hard pressed to believe that this one hour of symbolism will appreciably change anyone’s ongoing habits of energy consumption. " or "I dont like the way this event has been appropriated by those very organisations who are most responsible for causing all the trouble." or writing posts entitled "Why I’m Not Participating In Earth Hour."
Loosen up. Go out and look at the stars. Snuggle with your sweetie. Think, for an hour, about how you might entertain yourselves in a world without electricity; it may be here before you know it.
