two things that may or may not be related
1) I am not a fan of Earth Hour because, in my opinion, it encourages people to feel like they are doing something to help the environment when they are not actually doing anything of the sort. I tend to dislike symbolic acts in general, but another reason I hold this opinion is because I spent my first Earth Hour sitting at work, listening to guests tell me that they'd been bored sitting at home with all the electronics off, so they got in their car and drove to the movie theatre. Wow, guys, you're a regular ol' Captain Planet over there!
2) I am very frustrated that we hear so much about the need to save energy and resources and everything like that, and yet just as many houses this year are decked out from top to bottom in Christmas lights. I am very frustrated that I can look out the window at four in the morning and see that these unnecessary lights have been left on all night.

That is totally bizarre about the building with the automated lights! I used to get kind of frustrated with my campus too, for claiming to be all green and then leaving unnecessary lights on all night, but my workplace is even worse. D:
I like how you're trying to go green and still use SO MUCH ELECTRICITY.
hahaha YES, this is exactly what I was getting at! xD
