From our friends at World19

What will you be doing during Earth Hour?

Why not show your “green colours” by participating in a community candle-light walk along Bloor Street West?

Many individuals, businesses and governments around the world will be shutting off or reducing their power usage for one hour on the evening of Saturday, March 29th from 8-9 pm to symbolically but importantly demonstrate the need for greater public education and action on the environment. The Earth Hour Challenge is being organized internationally by the World Wildlife Federation.

As a community, we too can make a difference. Let’s make a collective effort to show our commitment to reducing energy usage that results in greenhouse gases. Turn off your lights, TVs, radios and computers and then join your neighbours in Bloor West Village for a fun candle-light walk – and to make our own statement about the importance of protecting the environment to our community. During the walk, further ideas can be shared on positive actions we as a community can take to protect our neighbourhoods and our planet.

Here’s what you can do:

- Join us at the parking lot by No Frills in Bloor West Village at 7:45. Bring a candle and lighter/ match.
- Wear something green (and warm).
- We will walk west to the corner of Bloor and Jane at 8pm rain or moonlight
- Remember to shut off your lights, etc.

Here’s what else you can do:

- Bring your family, friends and pets
- Ask businesses on the Bloor West strip to dim their lights/ host candle light dinners for the one hour
- Consider how you can reduce your energy usage year round.
