I can hear it now… Save the Geese, Cut the Grease, Pair with Cheese !!!

Earth Hour doesn’t make much of a tangible difference. It is more of a movement to increase awareness and make people feel better. I think the whole thing is stupid. I don’t want any more hours – I want some real, permanent, fucking change.

Conjugal lunch hours at your place of business?

Ass-kicking hour.

To raise awareness of instances during which an ass-kicking would be relevant. This hour would also be used to raise awareness of famous badasses throughout history, such as Jack Churchill and Voytek the soldier bear.

An hour devoted to noise pollution would be useful to promote awareness about a rarely discussed topic; the reduction in sound in urban areas would help to show how loud our cities are. I also had an idea about Memory Hour, but I seem to have forgot it.

I like that idea! Yes…a quiet time out for city noise pollution.

I am very spoiled living in the hills, the only noise I get is the sound of wildlife doing their thing, horse neighing, sheep baaing, geese honking, chickens cackling. It’s great!

I must say though I just spent 2 weeks in Taipei city last month..a city of 6 million and it was amazingly quiet…much more so that any north american city.

No self-pity hour. For one hour, we will cease and desist feeling helpless and out of control. A flash of realization of our inate power would go a long way toward getting people pissed off enough with thier own life choices to get rid of the bullshit. Life is too short to live in misery, baby!
