Oh well. My sister is celebrating it at her house by making full use of incandescent lighting.
Dr. Roy Spencer nores notes this on Facebook :
In honor of Earth Hour tonight I will have the lights on, and I’m gonna burn a bunch of wood in the fireplace.

I’m going to print 1000 leaflets “Earth day” and throw them out on highway. I imagine roadside garbage cleaners (oops, sanitation engineers) having a blast collecting then.
