We did it, we started early and did it for 90 minutes. They should do this more often, that would really be awesome. Not super hard to do (most of the time).]]> Sun, 29 Mar 2009 19:42:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25448&PID=648018&title=earthhour-09#648018 <![CDATA[Earthhour 09 : I did it - sorta - Rhylz got to...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25448&PID=647599&title=earthhour-09#647599 Author: Chickaboo

I did it - sorta - Rhylz got to bed late due to unexpected visitors - so had to leave the hall way light on so he could sleep but all rest was off - and excpet for internet I didn't have tv on either....

Think I did my bit - was a bit disapointed that the street lights weren't turned off for an hour but hey.....local government for ya!]]> Sat, 28 Mar 2009 22:14:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25448&PID=647599&title=earthhour-09#647599 <![CDATA[Earthhour 09 : Nope, was still cooking dinner...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25448&PID=647583&title=earthhour-09#647583 Author: fire_engine

We'll be doing it also. We'll try turning everything off at first but I'm pretty sure we're not going to know what to do with ourselves with no tv or comp We'll probably fall asleep after 20 minutes.]]> Fri, 27 Mar 2009 08:01:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25448&PID=646209&title=earthhour-09#646209 <![CDATA[Earthhour 09 : I plan on doing it too!

I plan on doing it too! Although its not much different to how we live every day. Last year all our lights died and we were to lazy to fix them so spent the whole winter living with just one bedside table lamp lighting the whole house.

Think I might have to make an effort to turn off the rest of the appliances using power, now that will be a challenge!]]> Thu, 26 Mar 2009 21:26:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25448&PID=646056&title=earthhour-09#646056 <![CDATA[Earthhour 09 : THERE WAS ONE LAST YEAR??

Yeah just the lights - which if 1 billion people across the earth all have their lights off  will save soo much energy!  Dh will still have to be watching the rugby so the tv will still be on.  But I'll turn the lights and any applicances off (yes even my laptop! I'm sure I can cope for an hour)]]> Thu, 26 Mar 2009 15:16:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25448&PID=645627&title=earthhour-09#645627 <![CDATA[Earthhour 09 : Ithought it wasd just the lights....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25448&PID=645472&title=earthhour-09#645472 Author: BessieBear

It's only turning off the lights, right ...... so I can still be on OB and use the computer screen to light the room

We'll be doing it this year. We were in Sydney on our honeymoon for Earth Hour last year but were watching the Sydney Philharmonic at the Opera House. Apparently they used all green energy because it was Earth Hour - I reckon they should be using it all the time!

We'll probably eat dinner by candle light and play some cards or board games. Or we will be trying to get C to go to sleep like tonight ]]> Thu, 26 Mar 2009 00:14:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25448&PID=645187&title=earthhour-09#645187 <![CDATA[Earthhour 09 : We will be doing it this year...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25448&PID=644456&title=earthhour-09#644456 Author: kriss

It'll be fun I reckon.
