The Earth Hour 2009

With only half an hour before 20:30 local time in Greece, I am turning off the lights on my house. Don't know what I'm talking about? It's this year's Earth Hour. We just turn off all the lights for an hour, 20:30 to 21:30 local time, wherever we are on the planet. It's the least we can do for the planet we live in.

Being a person who cares, I've decided to participate. For this hour I am turning off all lights, my PC (which consumes more electricity than a light bulb), light up some candles and enjoy the atmosphere. If I get a sudden Internet connectivity craving, there's always my EeePC. With less than 20W of power consumption, it's the most eco-friendly device I own :)

So, did you turn off your lights today?
