How will you feel, when you look out your window in Regent Park at 8:31pm - see all the windows dark around you, and know that yours is showing dark back at them all?!!!
Earth Hour, by M and R, grade 5, room 20 and 16
For Earth Hour this year, Nelson Mandela kids will go Global! We will be shutting off our lights in school on Friday, and at home on Saturday night. We will be showing the world that every LITTLE BIT each person does can contribute to the BIG change the world needs if we are going to survive.
Global warming is ruining the earth. If our climate gets warmer, the polar ice will melt, our coastlines will shrink, our barren deserts will grow, and people and animals will die without enough food and water.
People need to be much, much more careful with their energy. We can't keep burning so much wood, gasoline or coal that dirty the air and trap the sun's heat IN our atmosphere.
Earth Hour is on March 28th from 8:30 to 9:30. Governments and people all over the world, more than 84 countries, have promised to take part! Now, again, TORONTO's big buildings will go dark.
Go ahead, look out your window, and you will see the lights go off.
Will you turns yours off too?
