Earth Hour -Who's in?

bent - take it easy ? I'm not getting riled up over this.

I knew what you meant when you made that comment, but I dont understand why you think of me that way, just because I dont believe in your "earth hour"
if its because of my "left nut" comment its just a saying, I'm not willing to part with it :lol:

(I dont know the correct spelling either *) far as I know mcveigh* never sent a manifesto.
but you do realize theres environmentalist groups & animal rights activists that do domestic terrorism.
so I could say the same about you ;)

for you to imply that about me is making a very vague claim, you might as well say the same about millions of other people in america.
all just based off someones words.


your quote
"I just don't understand where your coming from by not doing this one hour thing because it won't make any difference?"

I dont understand how you think this "earth hour" will make a big impact on the consumption of electricity & make the electric companies change their methods of producing electricity.

do you think they'll say "oh wow some people figured out how to turn off some lights/power to conserve energy so I guess tommorrow we'll switch to 100% solar power"
I doubt it!
vs changing your daily routine & upgrading things. or just forgo electricity all together.

you dont need lights, burn candles or kerosine lamps. nor do you need a grow room or lights for chiles.
in fact you dont need electricity at all to survive or live on in your house ;) so why do you even use it then ?
so are you not destroying earth all just for your convenience & comfort factor ?


I feel so moved by this "earth hour" that I'll not buy a pop/soda just for tommorrow, all in the name of childhood obesity & childhood diabetes. that should really make a impact ;)
 
also are you willing to put your money where your mouth is ?

our electric company years ago had a vote (in your monthly bill) if you're willing to pay more for electricity (for them to build a solar/wind system)

well I'd think it'd be in their best interest to build it out of their own money, because less overhead to produce that electricity = more profit.
but instead they want you to pay more for the same product while their profits increase.

BTW I checked "no" :lol:


if it was any other type of company you'd say it'd be a smart business move to increase their own profit by reducing their overhead to produce that product.
 
CH - solar & wind is not the answer either. The amount of mining that goes into producing a solar panel & a battery is no solution at all.

Try to get 20 something major cities involved and a few hundred thousand individuals involved & I bet (whoever the hell 'they' are) will start taking notice.

well wow :shocked: I didnt think you'd say that about solar/wind turbines, if they are not the answer then please tell me what you think the answer is ? hydrogen or ?
I know this might be far fetched but maybe you understand that being environmentally friendly on 1 end but on another end it isnt that friendly, doesnt make that method/product environmentally friendly.


I dont need to get 20 major cities involved nor a thousand people involved, because theres already more than that discussing this issue already.
its a big issue already in the usa & what our public schools feed the children or allow them to buy in vending machines in school & their habits etc...
so I could almost bet this issue is bigger than the "earth hour" in the usa.
 
Mate if I had the answer I wouldn't be sitting in my little home office in Bris-Vegas would I :lol:

However I'm sure there is a problem & I plan to try to raise awareness & do my bit. After all, the only way for bad things to flourish is for conscientious people to do nothing....or something like that..

4 days to go on my GMT
