Any one participate in "Earth Hour"?

[Nano]

like the title says, obviously your not shutting down your tanks for the hour or hours, but does anyone participate by reading a book for an hour versus watching tv, or turning off that light in the basement that you left on earlier? I'm not a hippie, just "gauging the interest" in it

The last 2 years my wife and I turn off the lights and go outside for a walk for an hour, with her being to pregnant to walk to far, we might read a book together tonight.

What will you do?
(and lets keep it positive )

I didn't know it was today :-/
We're pretty concious of conservation. I took care of recycling today and have been turning off lights not in use. I guess we'll go for a walk later too

I turned out the basement lights while I was watching a movie if that counts. I suppose the subs, amp and big screen probably had a negative effect though.

well think if you hadnt have turned them off they would still be usin juice while you watch a movie, so, I guess it helps

I'm just chilling enjoying the last bit of peace and quiet before the baby comes, researching sps, and chatting it up with all you

So we see, everytime my little one (my nephew) comes over he's glued to it, not sure what it is, he's only 14 months so he cant comprehend whats going on

I use electrostatic speakers, so they are always plug in and turn on, they have 5k volts going through the panels

When is your baby due Nano? Any names picked out yet?

As for Earth hour, I made myself a tea and chased my son around the kitchen island. We were playing "Monster". It's so cute to watch him laugh and try to run faster than me. He's actually pretty damn quick for being such a little guy!

She is due April 28th but I'm thinking it'll be a bit earlier. Her name will be Ava Maureen Hobden. can't wait
