Earth Hour in Vancouver: Turn off the lights
Turn off the lights for just one hour and conserve energy and fight climate change. That’s the theme behind Earth Hour, a global campaign that started in Australia in 2007. British Columbians can take part by switching off tonight, between 8 and 9 p.m.
Premier Gordon Campbell said the provincial government will be participating, with all government buildings, including the B.C. Legislature in Victoria turning off all non-essential lights.
“I urge all British Columbians to switch off for Earth Hour today, and also to consider how you can make energy-conservation a part of your life all day, every day,” Campbell said in a news release. “We all have a role to play in combating climate change and safeguarding our environment.”
