Can SOMD make a difference by helping in this energy-saving cause?

Info from Earth Hour US - Earth Hour 2008

Again, if you don't want to/don't think you can safely/don't know how/don't understand what lights are/etc. then you can ignore Earth Hour as if it doesn't exist.

I never stated that I was for this cause, or knew the specifics, I just reposted information from another Web site, is that not allowed here? I never read the rules (or knew the specifics) of SOMD.com either, uh oh, I see a pattern here.

I don't have time to post all of these but you do appear to be promoting this cause, and urging folks to do it, and if they decline, you use sarcasm It's all good
