I was shocked. That is the best thing they have ever done. Lights out. Dont forget about Earth Hour tonight.

I guess they must think that we don't give a rats ass here in Sweden, since all I see is the regular page.

By the way. I don't give a rats ass about it.

54% will have forgot about everything after 2 hours.
Another 43% will have forgot about it by Sunday.
Another 2.9% by Monday.
The remaining 0.1% is wondering why the fuck it's so dark when they sober up on Tuesday and realized they bought booze for the electric bill money.

Make real adjustments to your life instead.

Take care of Mother Nature - not just for 1 hour!

I didn't even see it, because I went to iGoogle which was normal, had to click on classic home, lol.

I installed evaporative coolers last year to save energy. We dropped our electric bill almost in 1/2 in the summer using those, and keep our house really cool. Plus changed all our light bulbs to florescent bulbs. We try to do our bit.

This winter I'd like to install a pellet stove to help out even more.

I saw the black Google on The Bitch's computer today (iGoogle is my standard green theme) After I read about it, I told her that we had to turn off all the lights from 8-9 PM. She looked at me & asked "What lights do you think are going to be on at 8?"

(see, since I'm such a "green" guy as well as a penny-pinch, there's never any lights on in the house when it's dark anyway...plus I have a lot of candles)

I did the same. I'm digging the themes for my iGoogle page.

Right now I'm using this one JR I dig how it changes through out the day. On another one I'm using this tea house one.

So yea to see the black google I wouldn't have known unless clicked classic google too.
