I have no problem at all with people lighting 2 or 3 candles, the post was really motivated by the pictures in newspapers and on television reports after previous Earth Hours of restaurants and bars with hundreds of candles burning on every flat surface.

I just have to say that I don’t know anyone who would expect to get the same amount of light from candles as bulbs during earth hour. This article was well done but it assumes that you would need to have full light. And it didn’t take into account alternative materials for candles. I would like to see a comparison of those. What this comes down to is that we are so american that we can’t live without a highly lite room for one hour. Why can’t we give up a little light? Is it really that bad? Lighting 2 or 3 candles for an hour is nothing.The fun is sitting in low light and telling stories or playing music or games or talking or enjoying the stars with your friends and family.
