And during nighttime we all have the habit of switching lights off if we are leaving a room.

The only things we leave "on" are the computers, and we keep those in sleep mode when not in use.<br /><br />@Kittie: That sounds marvellous!<br /><br />@Charlie: The sun isn't down for you by 8:30? Jealous! We still have about a month before it stays light that long.<br /><br />@Brandon: I've heard that, too (about the lights, not Google), but I always hear different time frames. Like all day/four hours/one hour. I'm waiting for whoever it is to get their stories straight so I know what to do with my florescent lights.Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862479925124552922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-9976945202517687472011-03-26T13:46:42.783-04:002011-03-26T13:46:42.783-04:00Google has been praised and criticized over the la...Google has been praised and criticized over the last several years for turning their homepage black during earth day (can't remember if it was for the hour or for the day now). The funny thing is, people said, is that it actually takes more energy to generate a fully black screen than a fully white one. Interesting.<br /><br />Yeah, I try to be more conscious of that stuff, but it's hard when it's just a part of the culture you grew up in. And also to balance some things with facts. I heard once that it actually costs more for a fluorescent bulb (in a bathroom, for example) to be turned on and off, than to leave on for the duration of the day.<br /><br />Good food for thought regardless...Brandon Pricehttp://www.brandonandkatie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-3763741177621986362011-03-26T13:15:45.944-04:002011-03-26T13:15:45.944-04:00just found out about Earth hour at 10am... we don&...just found out about Earth hour at 10am... we don't use lights much during the day, maybe it should be a night thing for us.Charlie's Church of Christhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10032608121219847568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-19993287837126439212011-03-26T10:26:17.172-04:002011-03-26T10:26:17.172-04:00My hub and I will probably do what we did last yea...My hub and I will probably do what we did last year, just sit and talk. We have skylights so it's kinda fun, actually. I also have a grip about how businesses could shut off some of those lights.

Several years ago I got rid of cable which means my tv doesn't run each hour I'm awake. It made a difference I could see in my power bill. Imagine if everyone only turned something on when they needed it for as long as they were actually using it.<br />I still watch about 2 hrs a week with my HD antenna. ;0)Mary@GigglesandGunshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350818228268801008noreply@blogger.com
