Celebrate Earth Hour by turning off your lights!
I hope you all plan on taking part in Earth Hour this Saturday, March 28 at 8:30 p.m. At this time, millions of people around the world will shut off their lights to help raise awareness about climate change. Last year we switched off the lights and unplugged everything and went for a walk. It was so great to stroll around and see the neighbourhood in complete darkness. I remember being so surprised at how many peoples' lights were off. We ended our walk through High Park where we saw a bunch of people walking around carrying lanterns. I later learned that families met in the park, hand made their lanterns with materials they brought with them and then embarked on a nature walk.
This weekend, there are walks being put on in three different communities close to my house during Earth Hour. It's a great way to get people out of the house and celebrating the Earth. I can't wait to walk around the area again this year, and witness everyone enjoying Earth Hour.
Will you be partaking in Earth Hour? How will you be celebrating?
