I've changed the majority of the 60W bulbs in my house to those energy efficient 9W bulbs or whatever they are. We get the same amount of light in a nicer tone...... and DEFINATELY noticed a difference on the bill with ALOT less power consumption......

Here in BC the energy is created pretty efficiently, Hydro-electricity.

Alot of other provinces though, use ALOT less environmentally friendly means of creating the electricity. Coal power, Gas Power (Alberta) , and Nuclear (Ontario). Talk about dirty means of energy production.

So, turning your lights off will not require as much energy from these dirty sources, which means theres less demand for more dirty energy. Thats what 'earth hour' and all this environmentally friendlyness translates too.... not $5 savings on your bill :P
