Title: Earth Hour
Post by: Diane CBPFC on March 29, 2008, 01:56:32 PM: Tonight between 8:00 and 9:00 PM you are supposed to switch your lights off for Earth Hour.

Do you plan to participate? If so, what will you be doing in the dark?

Post by: The Peepmaster on March 29, 2008, 02:11:05 PM: Hmm. That's an interesting idea. I'm usually getting myself groomed before taking Lucy out for our weekly tour of Rothesay's bars. Getting dressed and groomed in the dark could be difficult...

Hopefully I won't be getting any sarcastic remarks from her. Last week she insisted that "three drinks and a bag of scratchings didn't make me a Sugar-Daddy".

Apparently, it's 8 pm local time, wherever you are.

Don't you mean Greenwich Mean Time?
After all, there is more than England in the United Kingdom.

In fact, (and I think this is a coded message for Roger from ancient times), "United Kingdom" is an anagram for "Omit Inked Dung".

Post by: Diane CBPFC on March 30, 2008, 11:53:13 PM: We keep the lights off for most of the hour but I forgot at one or two points as I have a touch light next to my bed and we were watching a movie - this saving the planet can be hard work.

We recycle and compost so don't have too much to go to the dump and try to go only once a month or less in the winter; we drive about five miles to get rid of our garbage. I can recyle in town when I go as they have dumpsters set up for that near the post office but the dump is the opposite direction from town in the middle of nowhere - we were composting before it was cool :-)
