Well, global warming is a big deal, so arrangements related to it should be given attention. But I do think that this event shouldn't get hyped, because even though it's meant to raise awareness, what it does is make sofa activists think they're actually doing a good job by saving light for one hour, and thus setting the bar really low.
"Don't despair! We can save this doomed world by turning off the light for an hour! That'll help!"
