with so much empahsis on it. especially with companies attempting to hijack on this concept to promote products. i think more or less those living in populated cities will know. anyway those rural peeps aren't polluting as much as city dwellers.

28 march 2009 at 2030, you join earth hour and turn off everything for 1 hour.if you intented to work on something and because of it, work is being halted. to make up, you stay up later to work on it or do what you wanted to do.

I beg to differ!
According to WWF Thailand, Bangkok decreased electricity usage by 73.34 megawatts, which, over one hour, is equivalent to 41.6 tonnes of carbon dioxide.
In Dubai, where external lighting on several major city landmarks was turned off and street lighting in selected areas was dimmed by 50%, the Electricity and Water Authority reported savings of 100 megawatt-hours of electricity. This represented a 2.4% reduction in demand compared to before the hour began.
The best result was from Christchurch, New Zealand. The city reported a drop of 13% in electricity demand.
Melbourne, Australia saved 10.1% of electricity. Sydney, being the city that participated both 2007 and 2008 Earth Hour, cut 8.4% electricity consumption.

they saved that much for the hour. but the amount saved compared to the usage over a longer period of time is insignificant.
