...because, well, "Cease fighting hour" would save lives, energy, money, as well as huge amounts of greenhouse and other gasses, and other unhealthies.
"Earth Hour" will only smudge people's vision (again), making them think that they can fix and influence Nature by pressing a switch.

Oh, I'm aware how impossible "Cease fighting hour" is. I'm just sayin'....
