In England they didn't even show the Australian start up concert to kick it all off, they did a 15 min highlights show!
The power at one stage went out on stage as there were people were wavhing the power output and keeping it carobn neutral.
If nothing else hopefully it will make people aware of the power they actually use at home and their cars use make a concerned effort to at least try, so that has to be good?

We always have green bags for groceries and goods permanantly in the car so that we are never with out bags and I always deny them at shops. I have a special fold up bag that goes in my handbag. We use 1 big bin liner for the garbage to go to the curb, we use just the bucket in our kitchen bin and empty into that so we don't use single bin liners.
I always use have a full load int he washing machine and I always line dry my clothes outside. We looked into a hybrid car but for us it was waaay to expensive for the initial outlay, but own a small 4 cylinder car and I can walk to the shops if need be.
Water from unfinished reused bottles goes into a bucket or straight onto the garden.
Sometimes it's the kids that are the hardest to turn off lights and watch the water, but you can only try LOL
