It's Lights-Out During The
Earth-Hour-Phenomenon

Unite globally in the earth-hour-phenomenon
for a common cause with the World Wildlife Fund.

Participate in this global event annually in March
by mobilizing with millions of people all over the world.

Can You Afford At Least One Hour Of Your Time?

Created by the world-wildlife-fund, this united show of support
for controlling climate change asks everyone to turn out their
lights for one hour at 8:30 p.m. The WWF is hoping for one
billion people this year to take part.

Did you know that in 2012, The Kyoto Accord expires?

This international agreement was created
to control greenhouse gas emissions.

World leaders met in Copenhagen in December 2009 to try
to come up with a new agreement on climate change.

The earth-hour-phenomenon is geared to showing global support
for this meeting of the minds.


Millions of people from over 35 countries participated in
2008. Well known celebrities spoke on behalf of the cause.

Citizens from London to Australia, Hong Kong, Rome, Canada
and the United States plus many many more have pledged their
support. The countries participating doubled for 2009
since 2008.

Approximately 10 million Canadians took part last year
making Canada one of the leaders in this spectacular
event. It is certainly hoped that even more take part
this year.

The World-wildlife-fund Canada has partnered with Sears Canada,
which is the national sponsor, who has taken a serious role in
reducing their impact on the environment. Other partnerships
include the CBC and Coca-Cola Canada as well.


So, that's about it. What's 60 minutes to make such an important
statement? And maybe that one hour will be enough to make more
of us think harder about the carbon-footprints we contribute
needlessly.


Lights-Out March 27th, 2010 8:30 P.M.


We all know that this one action won't reverse what has
happened so far with climate change, but try to see it for
what it really is.

This show of unity is symbolic and is meant to convey
a strong signal to world leaders that policies have to be
put into place to control greenhouse emissions.
