We did this. We spent the hour first walking the dogs and then we walked down to the store to pick up some frozen yogurt. When we got back, we just sat and talked for the last few minutes.
I made sure we turned off the TV & the computers and I held off running the washing machine until after 9, as well.
Most of our building is still uninhabited (brand new apartments), but even so, I saw very, very few dark windows on our walk.

Our power company says we had a 2% savings in power for our entire province because of th=at hour and not everyone participated. Just imagine how much power could be saved....It is never too late to be what you might have been. ~ George Elliot

They really ought to avoid scheduling these things during NCAA basketball tournament games...
I live in a small place, so even when I leave all the lights on, which I rarely do, it's only four lights. If folks lived in smaller places, there'd be fewer lights to turn off in the first place.
