News:
Thank You!
To all those that voted us #1 in the Reader's Choice Awards. Your loyalty and dedication means the world to us.
Thank
you for leading the world in Earth Hour!
Earth Hour was a huge success, with early
reports indicating that at least 50 million people participated in this global
call to action on climate change! This makes it the largest voluntary
power-down event in history. And it was Canada that led
the way, with over 150 cities and towns turning off their lights. Thank you Canada!
Many businesses, big and small, played a
huge role in darkening our skylines during Earth Hour. The results were
tremendous! In Toronto, Canada's flagship Earth Hour city,
energy consumption dropped by 8.7 per cent. In all of Ontario, 900 MW of energy was
saved, the equivalent of taking over
11,000 cars off the road for one hour. The energy saved in Ontario and British
Columbia alone is equivalent to turning off 20.5
million lights.
Thanks to everyone who participated in the
first ever, worldwide Earth Hour! Your efforts and determination have made this
an event to remember and you have sent a very strong message to our government,
and governments around the world, that we need to take action on climate change now.
