Here in Sweden it's 20:00-21:00 CET (central european time). Turn off as much electricity as you can for an hour. That's it.
Tell someone you know about it too. Can't hurt.

My girlfriend brought this up - can someone clarify something for me - would it cost more energy to turn everything off and then back on, then to leave them idling for an hour?

if you have energy saver or flouro bulbs u should leave them on cos they use most of their energy when switched on
if u have incandescent bulbs then u should turn them off

Interesting question...I remember reading a while go that it costs too much to temporarily reduce energy production in power stations. So, even if there is a temporary reduction in energy requirement, this would mean the carbon footprint of production isn't reduced at all.
In terms of cost to yourself, I guess it would depend on what appliances you have running all the time. In general it would be cheaper to have everything turned off.

I was going to do this anyway, but the timing turns out to be perfect! I have to get up really early tomorrow, so I might as well go to bed around then!

lights and all that i'm not too sure about. but surely leaving the computer on would be better than turning it off and on again?
doesn't really matter anyway because i only remembered at 8.40pm and it wasn't worth it by then :P

Haha, the major "Party 4 U, stupid" party here in Norway (They're called FrP) are holding a "conference" on the man-made global warming (which they think is a sham). Only one single professor is attending, and he's a professor in [drum roll] welding.

i'm starting to think no one cares about the actual global warming anymore, they're just out to feel important about whichever side they pick.

Før i tiden når det ble rapportert om problemer, gjorde folk noe med det. Nå bare sitter de helt i ro i stuen helt til de plutselig utbryter "jeg er så lei av [x] + skatt!!!"
