On March 29 between 8:00pm and 9:00pm, homes and businesses across the City of Toronto will be turning off their lights, as a collective movement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and as a symbolic gesture to demonstrate support for measures against global warming.
Last year in Sydney, Australia, 2.2 million people participated in the challenge, resulting in a 10% reduction in electricity consumption! This year, the Earth Hour challenge has spread around the world. Along with Toronto, other major cities around the world will be participating including Chicago, Copenhagen, Melbourne, Manila and Tel Aviv.
