Vancouver - 8pm March 29, 2008
On March 29, between 8-9pm, Vancouver demonstrated their commitment to action on climate change to the world by powering down for Earth Hour. People and businesses were excited about the opportunity and participation in the city is grew by the day. All City of Vancouver, BC Hydro, and Vancity buildings committed to powering down for Earth Hour. BC Hydro measured the drop of the collective electricity use during the event.
Here in Canada, Earth Hour is part of an effort that lasts more than one hour. WWF-Canada has launched The Good Life (wwf.ca), a community of concerned Canadians who want to start taking personal action today to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that contribute to climate change. When you join The Good Life, you are able to track actions you are taking for the planet and see how your actions add up to help fight climate change.
WWF-Canada, City of Vancouver, and The Vancouver Sun are the Earth Hour partners that have brought Earth Hour to Vancouver.
All Vancouverites and Canadians were encouraged to participate in Earth Hour and The Good Life and to be part of the united, global message about the need for action on climate change.
