I have my light fixtures painted semi-gloss white, and it adds 2x the brightness sometimes..

a good ceiling mounted bulb in the center of the room with the whole fixtures coated in 2 coats of semi gloss= super bright, put a 14watt bulb on that socket

Thanks for the reminder.

I'll be sure to run every electrical device I have for an hour.

the idea is neat and if you want to go for it.

BUT everyones gonna turn them right back on and if not more the next hour because of being bored, or thier gonna drive somewhere (uses multiple forms of energey) that is using power lol

kinda like those "boycott fuel on this date" kinda things, wont make a dent in the oil companys profits lol

yea I fell for it, i actually turned out my light cause im a sapppppy treee huggga herherher lolmelongtimesz

owwwhh
i burned a candle though and that is supposed to make me not create heat to add to this warming thing..



ohhhh



duhhh


to bad that a candle is hot, its like stretching the truth, plus why at night? then you have to air out the house from the burning candle smell.. that wastes energy, what the heck, this is retarded, how about the northern hemisphere does it in june and south in december

whatever you guys are totally uncreative, at least the republiburnoilfossilpolluters
get creative when they make up lies about you and spice it up... hell i havent had this much fun laughing at old men getting mad in i cant remember how long..

mental note: stop thinking out loud
