Earth Hour: Canada Special

TheStar.com Earth Hour Earth Hour: Small steps could go a long, long way

What: Cities around the world will turn off their lights for 1 hour. The Toronto event is sponsored by the World Wildlife Fund, Toronto Star, City of Toronto and Virgin Mobile.

"On March 29th, 2008 at 8 PM (local time) millions of people around the world will turn off their lights to raise awareness about global warming and energy conservation. For most of us, our biggest contribution to global warming is excessive use of electricity. In the US, most electricity is generated by coal-fired power plants. If we all turn off our lights (and powered down other energy using appliances) for just one hour, we can collectively reduce CO2 emissions by thousands of tons.
