Participate In Earth Hour Saturday March 27, 2010

Earth Hour is an international "lights out" event, with the goal of having as many individuals and businesses, on a world-wide basis, turn off their lights for one hour from 8:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. on Saturday March 27, 2010, to raise awareness about climate change and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

In 2009 eighty-eight (88) countries and over four thousand (4,000) cities participated in Earth Hour, ten times more than Earth Hour 2008. The city of Windsor is proud to be a part of this global event.

When? Saturday March 27, 2010 from 8:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.

Who? “I encourage all of our residents and businesses to observe Earth Hour this coming Saturday night from 8:30 p.m. - 9:30p.m. Windsorites have long recognized the importance of community and together, through conservation, we will build be a more sustainable community for future generations” says Mayor Eddie Francis. "On behalf of City Council I thank everyone in advance for their individual efforts in taking part in this global initiative."

Why? Switching off lights is just one simple action that individuals can take to help make a difference, and it sends a powerful message that we care about our planet. Everyday actions, like turning off unnecessary lights, can make a big difference. All City of Windsor facilities will turn off all non-essential lighting during this Earth Hour.

“The City of Windsor encourages all individuals and businesses to support Earth Hour. For more information on Earth Hour please visit www.earthhourcanada.org .
