next year text me about he earth hour! I didnt know! :<

.... It's not that fancy.

Even if we shut down all electric consumer thingies, the power plant would still be operating, so the main source of pollution is left intact. And shutting down a power plant for an hour is just ridiculous.

That's exactly why I dont participate in such acts, people have no clue what's going on exactly and just follow like sheep. This is why I can never have a normal discussion regarding nuclear powerplants with hippies for example, because they already know that uranium splits in plutonium, and that everything is radioactive for 239423 years after that, and that nuclear power plants are the most unsafe form of energy.

And when I try to correct them as in "Oh hey, I'm a fucking chemistry student and I follow classes on this matter" They just get mad at me for defending nuclear energy.

The fact is, that people are misinformed, which result in stuff like this. If people would actually get 1 LED light with small solar panels for like 20 euros and use it every day you'd consume as much energy in a year as that one hour of lights off with coal plants and stuff, but what do the people do? The lazy way of course.
