My Earth Hour Diary


Earlier in the day: Hire a plane and buzz around Auckland flying an Earth Hour banner. 

8:30pm: Lights out! Better go for a drive and see if others in the neighbourhood are joining in. Power up the Humvee and go for a cruise.

8:52pm: Back home. It's amazing how easily you can cope without electricity. Am feeling really good about doing my bit for the environment. Want to just sit outside and stare at the stars. So light a bonfire on the back yard and enjoy getting back to nature.

9:12pm: Fire burning low. So pour some more petrol on it.

9:30pm: We made it! Turn every light in the house on to celebrate. That's me for another year. Now I don't need to lift another finger for the environment for another 12 months.
