Earth hour
This Saturday (28th) at 8.30pm over 2300 cities and towns across 80 regions/countries, 462 iconic landmarks (including the Eiffel Tower and the Syndney Opera House), individuals, schools, communities, universities, councils and businesses are all going to turn their lights off for one hour. Even Coca Cola is going to be turning off its legendary neon sign in
If you haven't yet heard, that hour is officially earth hour and the WWF are looking for one billion people to sign up and make the statement that climate change is important and must be tackled. That message will add weight to the UN climate change summit in Copenhagan in December.
There are all sorts of ways in which we can join in: have a family 'midnight feast' by candlelight, go on a moon-lit walk, have a candle-lit bath, sit in the dark and share stories, have friends round for a candle-lit dinner party... the list is endless. The point though is serious and WWF need you to sign up to make your voice be heard. Whatever you are doing on Saturday evening, turn the lights off.
