You know, I was thinking about that Earth Hour thing (tomorrow at 8pm by the way), and how they're asking businesses to get in on it. And I guess all this time I've sorta been taking electricity for granted. Like, it's easy for a household to do it, because all we're losing is a couple of lights, a TV, computer, etc. We can just do something else for an hour. But for businesses it's harder because they depend so much on electricity. AMC for example. It's not like they can just stop the movies and be like, "Okay guys, time to save the world." That would mess everything up and people would be pissed. If a grocery store did it, they might as well just close the store entirely for an hour, because without the lights and cash registers and security cameras and alarms, not only would people not be able to shop, but shoplifters would have a field day.

So unless it was an entire city-wide thing like in Dubai and San Francisco and wherever else where everyone knew and made accommodations for it (because the city was gonna turn off their power anyway), people can't expect too many businesses to participate.

Seriously, why do I always sound like a kindergartener when I talk about environmental stuff? Geez.
