Tonight is Earth Hour.
From 8:30 to 9:30 Manitobans are encouraged to think about how they can support the environment and make a difference.
“Manitoba continues to support ideas and projects that reduce energy consumption and increase awareness of the importance of taking steps to reduce our environmental footprint,” Sustainable Development Minister Rochelle Squires announced yesterday. “Participating in Earth Hour by turning off your lights for one hour tomorrow is easy, free and sends a powerful message that when we all work together, we can accomplish great things.”
Everyone who participates turns off their lights for an hour to conserve energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and raise awareness about environmental issues.
