The Difference An Hour Can Make: Nations Ready For Earth Hour

More than a unique opportunity to gauge our collective power use, Earth Hour also provides us the chance to get together and recognize ourselves as a single global community, capable of common action determined to ameliorate, for one day at least, a portion of the demands our modern way of life make on the planet. In Canada, federal, provincial, and municipal governments are partnering with business, unions, and grassroots organizations to maximize the benefits of the hour long recess in business as usual. Dalton McGuinty, premier of Ontario, Canada's most industrious province, has signed on for the event that will see Toronto, the country's biggest city joining with other world capitals to turn out the lights. . . . Individuals and businesses can go to the Earth Hour website to get more information on the event, and discover ways to participate at: www.earthhour.org. The Toronto Star newspaper has comprehensive coverage of the event and issues at hand on their website, at: http://www.thestar.com/earthhour. http://pacificfreepress.com/content/view/2266/81/
