WWF Canada - Join Team Earth Hour
/ ©:
On Saturday March 23, 2013 between 8:30pm – 9:30pm people across Canada joined millions around the world in participating in Earth Hour. Once again, the global community stood together in the fight against climate change. In its sixth year, Earth Hour has continued to grow, spreading across over 150 countries in more than 7,000 cities, towns and municipalities – showing we’re all on the same team and together we can inspire action on climate change.

Thank you for your support of Earth Hour and for taking action that positively affects the future of our planet! The stories we’ve heard from families, businesses and community events are fantastic.

So what’s next?

More action! Earth Hour raises awareness about climate change issues but there’s more to it than switching off lights for one hour once a year. Earth Hour is a global movement that envisions a greener, cleaner planet. Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions, the leading driver of climate change, have increased by 32 per cent in the past 15 years. Climate change is happening right before our eyes. Droughts, wildfires, hurricanes – Canada’s Arctic is warming faster than anywhere else on the planet.

Urgent action on climate change is needed and WWF is working to put Canada on a path to 100% renewable energy by 2050. This will be our legacy for future generations and the planet. Learn more about our plan.

Want to go beyond the hour? Join our Living Planet @ Work team and help your workplace become more environmentally friendly. Plus it’s not too late to join Team Earth Hour.

Earth Hour shows how great things can be achieved when people come together for a common cause. We hope that you’ll take this inspiration with you throughout the whole year.
