Maybe I'll rubn every internal combustion engine I have while cutting down a tree, burning styrofoam and cooking bald eagle on the gas grill. Likely turn on every light in the house, crank the heat to 90 and leave the doors and windows open.

I might even do this for two hours just to piss off the greenies.

Exploiting the cover of darkness to rape, loot, and pillage although hairy legs are gross and I just need a couple of granola bars to see me through to next year so I won’t be needing the whole hour.

During that hour I'll be in a vehicle that will use up 804 gallons of fuel blowing out emissions across at least 5 states

In reply to Type Q:

We don't get "roast a spotted owl hour," so why do we have "Earth hour?"

Many people turn off everything for 6-10 hours a day when they leave home for work. They may not shut off their mains power, but they "save" more power every day doing that than this stupid "Earth hour" crap.

I'll turn mine off ~ 10:30 and leave them off for probably 7 - 8 hr... do I qualify as "green" ?

I will stay attached to Earth via gravity instead of flying off the orb. I add mass to the rock to help keep it together.

taking a friend's new Raptor out for some offroading in protected areas, it has long tubes ...and we have plenty of baby spotted owls to stuff under the tires in case he gets stuck.

Seriously though, my power bill's never been over $35/month & I do environmental consulting for a living; saving the environment one paycheck at at time...

yeah that crazy guy was just proved to have shaky reasoning... Seriously, I chalk that up to unsustainable farming practices and corn... Don't get me started on Corn. Corn has done more to ruin the enviroment and the health of our nation than any cow.. berkeleying corn.

I'm going to turn on my Xbox360, PS3, TV, laptop, desktop, monitor, ceiling fan, night stand fan, plus a bunch of lights, while I go drive stop light to stop light while redlining shifts for a whole hour to get the worst possible gas mileage ever. Maybe I'll start a Styrofoam fire pit before I leave as well.

Trying to convince the non-enthusiasts in my life that they need to get on the berkeleying bus. Don't like cars? Don't own one. Push your government to make more bus routes and trains.

Yes, in my dream world, guys like us are the only ones out there..

I'll probably be lightly burning some dead animal on the grill. Got to have the 1000W yard lights on so I can see. What time does this start? I would hate to miss is.
