WWF's EARTH HOUR - MAKE, DO AND MEND... ON A GLOBAL SCALE

People across the world will be taking part in 
EARTH HOUR.
As much as I wonder about planets far across the universe, I know of only one that will sustain human life. Good job, we are already there.
In terms of our carbon footprint, over the last 100 years people have gone from tip-toeing across the planet to stamping on it. Since records have been kept, scientists can prove that the Earth is warming, sea levels are rising, more areas are prone to droughts, the intensity of hurricanes are increasing and the sea is more acidic.
Reducing the impact our energy system has on that planet must be a good thing.
On 26 March 2011, 8:30pm, the WWF urges everyone  to switch off their lights - for an hour. 




In 2010, 128 countries and territories joined the global display of climate action. Lights on famous buildings and landmarks, from Asia Pacific to Europe and Africa to the Americas, were switched off. People across the world. turned off their lights. I did my weekly shopping, which might be considered to be cheating.

Earth Hour is organised by WWF, one of the world's largest and most respected independent conservation organisations. Its mission is to stop the degradation of the Earth's natural environment and build a future where people live in harmony with nature. The alternative is not a pleasant thought.


WWF hope as many people as possible will join them and mark the hour by turning out their lights. Parties, to celebrate doing this as part of a community, are an optional extra.




WHAT WILL YOU BE ABLE TO DO FOR EARTH HOUR?


I'll be reading Beth Revis' Across the Universe, by candlelight.
