Are you going to be one of them?
Saturday March 29, between 8:00 and 9:00 pm, people all over the world will be powering down and going unplugged in celebration of Earth Hour, a global expression of solidarity in support of green living sponsored by the World Wildlife Foundation (WWF). It all started last year in Sydney and has spread (officially) to 24 cities across the planet, including Charlottetown, Edmonton, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver (to name but a few).
Latest word is that a staggering 70 per cent of Canadians say they will be participating! Imagine what it will look like from space: a rolling darkness symbolizing how many of us have seen the light.

Imagine the joy if you were an astronaut seeing the earth from the heavens, between 8 and 9 p.m., knowing that all is well...humanity is finally waking up. The darkness and the shining stars...will be a peaceful welcomed celebrated sight, knowing that more of us are committed to preserving our beautiful planet earth. MAP
