Very cool to watch.
Loved seeing the Water Cube go out!

1. A large fake light switch or two, helicopter over Jesus, seemed to be extravagant

:D

[Whoa_Nelly]

2. Extravagant, or making a point that gets noticed?

I thought it was cool to see so many shots from around the world.

Am hoping someone eventually posts a condensed version of a satellite vid of the globe during Earth Hour. :hi:

3. POWER-FUL!

We also turned off our lights - but I didn't see us in the pictures.

:applause:

5. I'd love to see a video of the entire planet

time zone by time zone.

I would also have loved to be in my home town when the lights of the Golden Gate Bridge were turned off.

6. Bitte, habe Sie etwas geduld!

Give the kids a few hours to have at it. I'm CERTAIN we'll be seeing some very creative documentation! :loveya:

7. an hour a week might be a great goal - it was good for the spirit

plus it makes you consider the big picture.

10. Would love to see if satellite images showed any decrease in 'light pollution' from

this clever endeavor. In our house, the 'next generation' grilled us on conservation efforts, carbon footprints and reminded us to listen to our "inner-Al Gore".
Later we sang "Amazing Grace" (to the tune of "House of the Rising Sun") on acoustic instruments by candlelight.

11. It looks like the Freepers have taken over the ratings on the comments page

:eyes:

If you have a Youtube account, be sure to do "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" on the comments! And of course don't forget to rate the video!

14. Not thinking very hard.

They must have forgot Earth Hour is about turning off ALL electrical devices... cameras included. haha
