Earth Hour 2011 Canada

Thank you for sending a powerful statement to world leaders about the need for action on climate change!

Earth Hour was even bigger than last year with over 4,000 cities and towns turning out their lights, across a record 126 countries! Once again, millions of Canadians took part in all provinces and territories, turning out the lights in over 300 cities and towns.

Every hour, you can take small steps to lessen your impact on the environment. From hanging your clothes to dry to taking transit to work, those small steps add up to huge benefits for the planet. Multiply those efforts by over 37,000 Canadians (and growing...) and you've got enough carbon savings to take almost 20,000 cars off the road for one year! That's what people in WWF's Living Planet Community are doing...they are recording their carbon saving actions together, inspiring each other to do even more. The results so far are phenomenal.

Get involved today and keep Earth Hour going all year long!

Every hour, Canadians are taking small steps to lessen their impact on the environment. From hanging your clothes to dry to taking transit to work, those small steps add up to huge changes for the better.
