Earth Hour-One hour of darkness

Believe me, I really am all for turning out my lights before I leave the house, not wasting electricity, and turning the tap off while I brush my teeth.

But consciously turning off my lights for one hour with the rest of the world in honour of Earth Hour? Something just seems weird and wrong about that.

I know I'm being cynical again. It's just that it being called "Earth Hour" sounds almost like a "let's take an hour to turn off the lights in the world to remember "mother Earth", as if the earth's a person. And yes, this supposedly has to do with "global warming".

On earthhour.org, it mentions Earth Hour being a "global movement". Go figure. Nearly all talk nowadays is "global" talk.
