To those who celebrate this feast by turning the lights off and watching Earth Hour shows on TV:
Why do you not turn off the TV instead and save more energy that way? |

That's this Saturday at the same time as the technophobic Earth Hour.

The TV I think I'll dedicate to the greatest human achievement in sporting events (aka March Madness).

When does this occur. I would like to turn on an extra lamp in compensation.
