We turned off all our power at NowPublic a few weeks ago to support this kind of action. I was an enthusiastic participant but I did feel a bit guilty using my laptop battery:

SYDNEY (AFP) - Australia's largest city was plunged into darkness for an hour Saturday night as Sydney underwent a self-imposed blackout to raise awareness of global warming.

Residents and businesses across the city of four million flicked off the lights for "Earth Hour" at 7:30 pm (0930 GMT).
