Earth Hour will be
this Saturday from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. This is an international event to show solidarity in asking for action on climate change by using zero electricity during that hour. Since its inception three years ago, Earth Hour’s non-partisan approach has captured the world’s imagination and became a global phenomenon. Nearly one billion people turned out for Earth Hour in 2009, involving 4,100 cities in 87 countries on seven continents. Here is the link to the
Earth Hour website.
Our sustainability reps, Mackenzie and Edward, are asking for all Prestonites to participate in this. You could go out with some friends for a few hours, play flash light tag in the horseshoe, or even take a nap. However, we do understand that papers may be due or other issues that require electricity, but know that every little bit helps!
And don’t forget--Earth Day is April 22nd!
