Just one hour? I turn all my lights off every night for at least 8 hours. Benefit? Helps me sleep. :-)

Benefits?
Well, for some reason, my kids loved it! They didn’t want to turn back on the lights and have a new appreciation for candles. They liked the time we spent together. That’s benefit enough for me.

I think the one amazing benefit is that it shuts up old man Suzuki for at least a month.
Practical benefits? Zero.

JM, our children are still young enough that they were in bed by 8:30. They sure liked lighting all the candles though.

I totally agree with Rick. Not that this is environmental fanaticism but I think it is the environmental fanatics that hurt the progress towards a more responsible ownership of this planet more than they help. Dr. Suzuki being the poster child. I like the move towards making our planet run smarter. It is the practical answers that we miss out on. Turning our lights off for a hour sure brings awareness but unless that awareness sparks an intelligent discussion leading to an actual sustainable change I am not sure that it does any practical good.

Well, what I would do is turn off anything that I am not using such as lights…etc, plus, I would try not to use toxins and chemicals like hairspray, etc. I think I would also ride the bus or carpool
