Earth Hour 2009 - Switched Off Your Lights?

So Earth Hour 2009 came and passed. Whether it really made a difference or was simply a publicity stunt, the thing is, all across the globe many people did switch off their lights on that hour.

Is this a trend of things to come based on what Jack's Observer mentions? With the economic gloom will tempers run higher?

After all the discussions that will rage from this outcome, cries will be heard and fingers will be pointed all over, but for those who were caught in the crosshairs unfortunately, it is already too late.

My guess is over 97% falls into this category :)
Only very few are capable of other means but choose to do so.

And scientists said it is getting worse by the day...

Think we have seen enough widening gap between the rich and the poor? Wait till even the most essential stuff like water, air and the ability to think (!) are no longer in easy reach for the normal folks.

Have you ever estimated....

Simple math + logic can make the most impact statement at times.
Seriously, how many standard trend the mill workers can achieve that?
