What is Earth Hour

If you're serious:
Earth Hour:The hour where the lights get turned off

At Thailand, they told me to turn off the lights in 8:00 pm to 9:00 pm (GMT 7). I don't know if other countries have that or not.

Earth Hour is when you turn off ALL unnessecary plug in electronic devices (such as (gasp

) the computer).

I don't have any idea what to do, but has anyone seen Google yet?

Cool! I'm in! It'll be dark here so I guess battery operated flashlights are ok. We also have those flashlights you shake up and they work for a few minutes.

What do you all plan to do?

*rage mode on*
PLEASE. DON'T. DO. EARTH. HOUR. ACTIVITY. Am I making myself clear???
*rage mode off*

OK, now time to calmly explain why Earth Hour is bad.
Think like an electrician. If A LOT of people turn off their lights at the same time, what happens with the electro station?!
Yes. A sudden big fall of energy. This can be coped with, but still does harm to electro stations.
And now a something much worse. A LOT of people, at the same time, will turn their lights BACK ON.
A sudden rise of energy of that size is enough to break some less powerful electro stations and badly damage others. You see where it goes?
Now to explain why Earth Hour is pointless:
Electrostations get switched off at times to repair them anyway. Exactly for one hour. Everyone on that station is of course subtly changed to another station before that happens.
All you have to do is to synchronise Earth Hour with an electrostation turning off, without driving people off to another one, and voila. What the Earth Hour wants the harmless, or, at least, a much less harmful way.
All explained? Now go away from Earth Hour.
Please note that I'm not really an electrician. Just someone with enough common sense to stay away from this.

EARTH HOUR WAS JUST TURN OFF THE LIGHTS,AND THERE'S NO PROBLEM FOR EARTH HOUR!!!!!!!!

For the real reason,see below.

Earth hours was just turn off the lights.This will be OK because:
1.Lights are not the one who only use electricity!There's many of other things that use electricity,like your cooker,TV,computer,Freezer,etc. and the most thing, *gulp*Server.They use MORE electricity than the lights.So if you just turn the lights off,it won't have a sudden big fall of energy.

2.Not all of the world join this!If a Hospital turn off the lights,then what?More and More troubles happends.And for lights shop:If they turn ALL the lights off?No business! So if some places turn off their lights,it operation will be affected.

3.(Add your idea by PM)

ONE person turning their lights off won't do anything.
But with Internet, the numbers of lights turned off can be in hundreds of thousands -- possibly in millions. This is like the voting paradox -- one can think "Surely, my vote is not going to change anything" and not vote -- and if it's not a possible tie, then it won't change anything.
However, let's just say that 500 people think that way -- missing out 500 votes starts to hurt.
