This is conservative?

Red Tory is saying how some on the right are planning to turn on all their lights for Earth Hour. If you want to try to make positive associations with the word "conservative" you might say things like "prudent" - not something I'd associate with driving up your electric bill for the sake of annoying people who, frankly, won't pay attention to you anyhow. We'll all be having candlelit dinners while you gun your dishwasher, washing machine and whatever else you like.
