A total doofus could do a little something for Earth Hour - all you have to do is switch off all the lights and appliances (within reason - I am not turning off the fridge, that's just stupid) or not drive a auto from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm on the 27th of March. That's pretty easy. Think of it as making payday advances out to the Earth - if it actually does help offset climate change or global warming, then it isn't as if it hurts you to do it. Heck, turning the lights out may even motivate people to do something fun with the spouse that does not revolve around American Idol.
