Can't you figure out on your own what to do for one hour? Do you seriously need someone to tell you? Heck, why don't you pray for an hour... Just read the mind numbingly stupid comment by 2252.

Then compare results with other "maths hour" teams. Might give folks a tiny idea of what the real problem is and distract them from their never ending crystal gazing. Start by calculating the mass of CO2 produced by an average candle as compared to various other lighting of equivalent brightness. The candle is made of fossil fuel and one of the least efficient ways to make light. As a neo-Luddite movement, where people want to escape from technology for a while, and live out a "simple life" fantasy for an hour. Earth Hour makes a lot of sense from that point of view. As an actual environmental movement it is worse than useless, it encourages misconceptions and discourages intelligence.

But, having incresed awareness, where does one go or or even do? Even the Lord Jesus Christ commanded the women he rescued from being stoned for sins, asked to "Go and sin no more" acording to the legend. So, where does any one "GO"; There is in fact no where to "GO"; that is the reality. Creating a place to "GO" involves the human mind of not just the present day but the human minds to come for ever and ever. It can not be in books, or stories as they are static and dormant. The place to GO for the human mind has to be dynamic, interactive and ever present. How, does one create such a palce?
