The annual event where people turn out the lights and switch off their electronics took place over the weekend. 

On Saturday, from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m., people from around the world took part in Earth Hour, including people from across the province. 

However, SaskPower said that power consumption remained constant during Earth Hour. A local environmentalist, who will be on the show later, says that Earth Hour isn't the best tool for promoting energy efficiency. 

Saskatoon Morning asked its audience the following questions: Has Earth Hour run out of energy as a way to raise awareness about energy consumption? Did you participate? What do you do to save energy - or do you do nothing at all?
