Tomorrow night, during 7:30 and 8:30 PM, all people living in Sydney, NSW, Australia, have been asked to turn off their lights, televisions, and all electrical appliances to take part in "Earth Hour". http://earthhour.smh.com.au/
The thought behind it is that if everyone in Australia - Or in the entire world - turns off all power, even just for an hour, greenhouse gas emissions will go down a lot and save the atmosphere.
And it's silly.
"What reason could you possibly have wrong with this?" I hear you ask.
The reason is simple:
Earth TOTALLY DOESN'T NEED OUR HELP.
Earth is a PLANET. AND A STUPID PLANET, TOO. IT CAN TAKE CARE OF ITSELF OR DIE TRYING.
"What are you saying! What is wrong with Earth! What are you getting at, you big silly commie!" I hear you shout. So, then, what can you do?
Simple.
Celebrate an event infinitely better than Earth Hour:
MARS HOUR

The thought behind this is simple: If everyone in Australia - Or in the entire world - turns on all power, including lights, ovens, blenders, hairdryers, and any other thing you can think of, even if just for an hour, greenhouse gas emissions will go up so much the atmosphere will be totally screwed.
"Now Albie! That's a silly idea! Why would you want to do that?" I hear you exclaim.
Well, like everything else to do with this event, it's simple:
Scientists, for years, have been talking about the fact that one day Earth will be uninhabitable, and we will need to move to a better planet, say, Mars.
But it's been just that - talk.
Not one Human has been to Mars yet, and yet scientists allow robots to roam free around the planet.
Robots.
The scientists trust robots with the task of owning mars more than they trust you.
They want their little creations to own the magical sphere that is the Red Planet!
Humans need to go to Mars. It's going to happen at some point. Why not hurry up the process?
Allow me to list the reasons why Mars totally kicks Earth's blue ass:
Humans have been on Earth for over a million years. 1,000,000 years. It's time for a change of scenery. Honestly.
Mars has an amazing climate: Hot, sunny days, and cool, placid nights. It doesn't even rain! How can you deny a climate like that?
Red is an awesome color.
Earth has done some pretty bad crap to us, namely the plague, volcanoes, and killing off every single dinosaur before we even got to see one. Why should we protect that?
"Oh Albie, you're right! I was wrong for ever doubting you! Forgive me, oh merciful one!" I hear you grovel.
Thankyou for the compliment, but it's all up to you.
So.
Take part in Mars Hour.
Because together, we can kick Nature square in the nuts.
