Last week, Prospere Magazine asked: This past weekend (meaning March 29, 2008), many people around the world participated in Earth Hour by switching off the lights for 60 minutes. Did you?

 It’s pretty clear that many of you took part, as seen by the results below:

48% said: Yep.  Lights out at 8 pm!  It was fun!

12% said: Shouldn’t EVERY HOUR be Earth Hour?

But on the other hand….

12% said: Nope, it sounds silly.

and I guess some cities, especially those that weren’t official, didn’t get the message. 

20% of you said: What’s Earth Hour?

What do you think of the results?  What did you do, if you participated?  If you didn’t, why not?  By the way,  last week, a record number of you participated in the poll.  Now, let’s try to break it this time. 

NOTE: Someone who attended Nelly Futardo’s concert informed me that the performance wasn’t acoustic, but powered by “green power.”

This week’s question: Do you think it’s a great idea when designers lend their name to limited edition lines for more affordable stores? (think H&M’s designer lines, Vera Wang for Kohl’s, Issac Mizarahi’s line at Fairweather and Target, etc…)
