Earth Hour Tonight at 8:30 pm

Again this year Canadians are encourage to turn off their lights tonight (Saturday) at 8:30 pm for 1 hour and join the rest of the world in the dark.

Since it began in Sydney in 2007, Earth Hour has grown to become what environmental group WWF organizers say is the world's largest demonstration of support for action on carbon pollution.
BC Hydro encourages their customers to join in this year. Last year stats have BC'ers saving equivalent of 7.8 million 15-watt compact fluorescent light bulbs for the hour. This amount adds up to powering 4000 homes if everyone in BC did this for 1 hour each night.

In Ontario, Hydro 1 will be turning off all non-essential electricity through out the province at their offices.

Even the NHL in Toronto and Vancouver will be dimming their lights while the hockey games play on.

Many events are taking part in Canada , as well as, around the world. Check your local newspapers and google for events near you.

WWF said the number of countries and territories participating has grown from 135 last year to 147 this year.
