Ms.Huxtable Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 On March 29th millions of people around the world will turn out their lights between 8 and 9 p.m. to mark Earth Hour. Created to take a stand against the greatest threat our planet has ever faced, Earth Hour uses the simple action of turning off the lights for one hour to deliver a powerful message about the need for action on global warming. This simple act has captured the hearts and minds of people all over the world. The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in Sydney, Australia pioneered Earth Hour in 2007, with more than 2 million residents taking part, including 2,000 businesses. The initiative resulted in a 10 per cent reduction in demand on the electrical grid, and a reduction of 24.86 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions - the equivalent of taking almost 50,000 cars off the road for an hour. In 2008, cities around the world are joining the effort, including Chicago, Toronto Ottawa and Copenhagen. The website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms.Huxtable Posted February 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Now we have a day PLUS an hour. Maybe in 2009 we'll have two whole days to be kind to our Earth. One can only dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
