Even No Impact Man admits: life without electricity made him "unhappy" and "depressed"

What happens when you try to extend Earth Hour into your real life?

From this post:

In Zone 1, which is where we lived in the last months of the project, with no lights and no electricity, we found that we had restricted our resource use to the point where we were making ourselves unhappy again. Not having light after 4:30 made me depressed and caused us stress because we didn't have the daylight we needed to get our jobs done. Doing laundry by hand is hard work and time consuming.
