I have never heard of this before! It's sounds interesting.
^I'm with Laken. This sounds pretty neat. Lmao, if you look at the map the U.S and Europe are like the only countries that have a ton of lights on..
I think this would definitely be fun to be a part of.
I didn't even know this existed. I like how the U.S. is still one of the brightest spots on the picture! lol
Ha no wonder America is going broke look how many lights are on probaly 24-7.
I have heard of this before but I didn't realize it was Saturday. I think this is very cool and more people should do it
