Earth Hour: Saturday, March 27 at 8:30 PM
Turn off your lights, TV, stereo, computer and more, and join WWF and people around the world in demanding action on climate change.
The event that began in one city just three years ago has now grown to be the largest environmental movement in history! In 2009, hundreds of millions of people turned out their lights for one hour to show their support for climate action. Light the way again on March 27, 2010. Earth Hour is more than switching off lights for one hour, once a year. It’s about giving people a voice for the future of our planet, and sending a message to our world leaders that we want action on climate change. Take a stand, join the movement.
Political leaders around the world have not yet negotiated a global deal on climate change. The United Nations Climate Change Summit in Copenhagen last December fell short of our hopes, and short of what’s needed. Earth Hour 2010 is critical to tell world leaders to finish the job by quickly completing a fair, ambitious and binding deal to avert dangerous climate change.
In particular, Canada will be in the spotlight this year as Prime Minister Harper hosts the next meeting of the G20 countries in Canada this June 2010, where the climate talks must continue.
