Earth Hour 2010 10 February 10

Earth Hour logoThe event that began in one city just three years ago has now grown to be the largest environmental movement in history! In 2009 hundreds of millions of people around the world turned out their lights for one hour to show their support for climate action.

In 2010 Earth Hour is at 8:30 PM March 27, 2010.

Political leaders around the world have not yet negotiated a global deal on climate change. The United Nations Climate Change Summit in Copenhagen last December fell far short of what's needed. Earth Hour 2010 is critical to tell world leaders to finish the job by quickly completing a fair, ambitious and binding deal to avert dangerous climate change.

Started in 2007 in Sydney Australia, people in 88 countries and 4100 cities participated in 2009. WWF International sponsored 2008, 2009, and is leading Earth Hour 2010. Last year ten million Canadians turned off the lights.

Canada will be in the spotlight this year as Prime Minister Harper hosts the next meeting of the G20 countries in Canada June, 2010, where the climate talks must continue.
