Yesterday was the Vote Earth Day or Earth Hour Day and we did switch off the lights at 8:30 PM.
Not always that easy when you have home automation active and use motion detectors to switch on lights (and thus conserve energy) but since all motion detectors are connected with velcro, a simple tour round the house fixed that problem.
For next year I think we should commit to a full hour of no electricity, so its a more active gesture and reflection of how we handle energy and raw materials we take for granted like clean water to drink (hence the picture).
