How we did the maths
 

All those offices with lights burning bright at night. Are they really all full of people working late? Or is it some cock-eyed theory of aesthetics which says that lighting an empty space is beautiful? Ivory was considered beautiful once.

    I do this

    I'm always turning off what I consider to be unnecessary lights. The problem is, my family tend not to think them unnecessary, so turn them straight back on again! 07 January 2010, 09:49

    i thought

    when i have a bath i have the rdio on in one room and the light on in it, i then have the bathroom light on a and my bedroom light on all at once when i only stay in the bathroom (bath). this wastes a lot of electricity so i have recently turned of my bedroom and other room (with radio) light off. i have done this for 4 nights 12 December 2009, 18:46

    Turning off lights.

    Because of the different lighting system I have got in my dining room, after I finish studying, I turn off the unnecessary ones and just leave one light bulb on if anyone is in the room or just turn the lights off :) 16 November 2009, 22:37

    Did It (:

    Oh my gosh.. in my school, the teachers haven't really heard of natural light, so they shut the blinds and turn the lights on. I, however, go into the classroom, prise the blinds open and turn all the lights off. Some of the teachers dont seem to like it, but they'll get over it. (: 22 October 2009, 20:44
