My understanding is that when you use electricity, the amount of resources you consume by doing so is dependent on how many other people are using electricity from the grid at the same time. So if you want to be environmentally friendly, you ought to shift as much appliance usage as possible into that hour when everyone else is avoiding using electricity.

Hey, how come we never make fun of the ultimate hypocrites: environmentalists who have more than zero children?

Children are bad for the rainforest!

I think you're right.

So when everyone is avoiding using electricity - namely "Earth Hour" - I plan to light up the house like a beacon.
