Earth Hour
While we need to think along these lines for more than 1 hour a year, I was very disappointed with Adelaide’s effort. I live on the second floor of an 8 storey apartment building and I went out to look over Adelaide and saw NO evidence that our Government or businesses had made any effort. The lights of Adelaide looked exactly the same as usual.
The power use did go down 3% but I suspect this was due to lots of small users and households. I certainly noticed that there had been no effort to turn off the 24 hour passage lights in my building. I cannot understand why we can’t have these on motion detectors at night.
My 2 cats were fascinated by the candles!
