EARTH HOUR 2016 March 19, 8:30pm-9:30pm

[Catherine]

Just a reminder that Saturday March 19, 2016, 8:30pm-9:30pm is Earth Hour.

It is a small thing to do for our planet, but turning the lights off for an hour symbolizes a commitment to try and protect the planet.

Here are a few things that Toronto will be doing for earth Hour.

I use power to give light and heat to my pet reptiles. Their lights are on timers and I have reset all the timers to go off in time for Earth Hour.  Because I use power like that, I make a monthly donation to a green energy company to offset my power usage.

No matter what your circumstances you can find a way to celebrate Earth Hour.

If you are unfamiliar or want to refresh your memory there is lots written about it.

Even if all you do is sit in the dark or candle light and think about climate change you have done something. If we all do it, it will have impact.

I will participate in Earth Hour. as I feel it's important.

I hope I remember the time to have Earth Hour. I will put my battery operated lanterns on for an hour. I don't use candles in the living room because they can be harmful to the birds. However, I can light candles in my bathroom and bedroom. I have some nice candles for those rooms. Thanks for this information!

I am glad you are both participating.  All you really need is one battery operated lantern where you are sitting. I don't use candles either. I worry about animals getting out and getting hurt.

Any time after dark is a good starting point. You could just use your lantern and not turn light on tonight. I leave my lights off for the rest of the night.
