NUPGE supports Earth Hour, this March 27th, 2010, in an effort to raise awareness around climate change and energy consumption.
On March 27 at 8:30 pm, hundreds of millions of people around the world will turn off their lights for an hour to demand action on climate change. But that's just the beginning. Every hour, Canadians are taking small steps to lessen their impact on the environment. From hanging your clothes to dry to taking transit to work, those small steps add up to huge changes for the better. Get inspired by others who are living Earth Hour ever hour, and tell us your story.
Why do it?
Political leaders have not yet negotiated a global deal on climate change. Demand action by joining the largest environmental movement in history.
