One of the world’s largest global movements literally shut the lights off on our planet last night, March 29, 2008. With some of our largest cities in North America participating we have made our world a better place. Shutting of our lights to prove and show we understand the crisis of global warming is the biggest step we have ever taken to voice our opinions as citizens of the world regarding Global Warming.

Will our governments list? Will we listen? Will we make a difference if only for another day? These are questions we all have that linger in our minds. There’s no true answer to these typical questions. There’s only one thing we can do to ensure conservation and clean living continues. We have to do it ourselves! We have to continue doing things in our lives that are more environmentally clean and then the answers the questions will be yes. 

Yes we will make a difference!

Here are some pictures I found searching Google and its pretty cool!

To those who didn’t you can officially say iknownil

Tomorrow one of the worlds largest movements towards Global Warming and Environmental living will be taking place. Originated in Sydney Australia, many of the world’s largest cities will be truing off their lights for one full hour. Finally I get to say how proud I am to be Canadian! Over 150 cities in Canada alone will be participating in the event which leaves a huge smile across my face. The most amazing thing is it’s not just your typical home owners or University/College students.  Some of Canada’s biggest landmarks will also be following suite such as, the CN Tower, Niagara Falls, Toronto Eaton Centre, Fairmont Royal York Hotel, Honest Ed’s in Ontario; the Olympic Flag, and the City Hall Clock.

This is a big step towards a more environmentally concerned society and we could seriously use this type of motivation. Please join in with the rest of the world and turn of your lights one hour from 8:00 – 9:00pm March 29 2008.

How can you make a difference or participate?

It’s easy! Simply go to the following website, http://www7.earthhourus.org/ also watch the video. Its amazing 2.2 million people last year, 2007, turned their lights out which was equivalent to taking 45,000 cars off the road!

If you can’t take one hour from your life a year and help reduce usage of our planets resources then yes, you can officially say iknownil!
