But my office building announced that they'd be observing it so there's that. Of course, they'll be turning off the lights when 95% of them would have been off anyway but it's the thought that counts and we'll ignore the server rooms that are always on even when no person is within three floors of a computer connected to them. And let's not mention the AdverTVs in the elevators that personal experience shows are also always on even when the motion sensitive elevator lights have turned off. Or the fact that we've turned every toilet, urinal, faucet, and soap dispenser in the building into a continuous electricity sucking device.

In terms of power saved during the hour, It's pretty much meaningless but as a way to raise awareness of the larger issue of conservation, it's kinda catchy.
