Earth Hour 2008

Published March 23, 2008

Next Saturday, 29th March, is Earth Hour, when, at 8 pm, the Toronto Star and World Wildlife Fund Canada is asking Canadians to turn off the lights for an hour. Various events are being organized by York students (we have asked them to let us know, so that we can let YOU know on this website). My husband, has, naturally, signed up our family and I am trying to figure out how we can take this further... What do we do as a family, once the lights, the computers, the tv (maybe my fridge?) and other electrical equipment, is all unplugged? Will we walk to our local park and look at the stars, free from light pollution? Since there has been massive sign-up in Toronto, I expect it to be quite dark. What are you doing for Earth Hour?
