Yeah, yeah, James Lovelock was featured recently (here) -- the scientist who scoffs at all the recycling and carbon-cutting, because he says it's too late. But it doesn't mean we shouldn't do what we can to help Mother Earth out...such as:
EARTH HOUR at 8:00pm on Saturday, March 29, when people around the world will join together to turn out their lights to take a stand against climate change. Earth Hour was started by the World Wildlife Fund last year in Sydney, Australia. Organizers there say 2.2 million people and 2,100 businesses turned off their lights for one hour on March 31, 2007, reducing the city's energy consumption by 10.2%.
Many landmarks around the world will be turning out their lights for Earth Hour, including the Golden Gate Bridge; Sydney Opera House; CN Tower, Niagara Falls; Olympic Flag (Vancouver); and more. And if you're in Toronto, Nelly Furtado will headline a free, unplugged concert in Nathan Phillips Square in honour of Earth Hour.
