NZ was the first in the world to participate because of where we are, i did turn the lights off, but not the TV , i could not miss American Idol, we have the balloons over waikato festival on during that time, and the night glow was on, just down the road from my house at our local university, they even turned things off there, just leaving minimal lights for safety issues, so i guess that was a good example to set.

I looked around, sadly most of my neighbours had all their lights on, shame on you Kiwis.
