Another year, and again Disneyland didn't participate in Earth Hour last night. :(

But I did! I had our neighborhood's Gourmet Nite dinner to go to, so I turned on every light in the house and all the deck/landscape lights before I left the house. At our host's house, I mentioned it was an hour away from Earth Hour and how I choose to celebrate, so he turned on what few lights he had left that weren't already on (guest rooms, mostly).

I'd have to imagine that Disneyland Resort still had at least a few lights left they could've turned on last night at 8:30pm!

I'm not going to get mad at Disneyland for not participating in something that I have never heard of, and that I wager many people have never heard of.

No one in this country has ever heard of it. It's a European thing, mostly. Like scarves.

About a decade ago they tried very, very hard to make it a thing here. And the US media helped and tried very, very hard to make it a thing. But it went nowhere. At the time, there was some brief discussion among us on this board how, or what, Disneyland could do to celebrate Earth Hour without upsetting all the tourists by turning everything off.

That's about when I started turning all my lights on instead of off, just for fun.

It's still kind of a European thing, but now that they want lots of new electricity for AI even in Europe, it's struggling.
