Turn your lights out
for 60 minutes!!!
As a Sister of Bon Secours and as someone who is very conscious about the consumption of our earth’s resources, I would like to ask your participation in this global effort to make a difference. All you have to do is turn off all your lights for one hour at 8:30 pm (your local time). Use this as a chance to be creative, and think of something fun to do…like playing board games by candlelight or take an evening walk for one hour. Each small contribution we make adds up when it is made by the masses.
Earth hour, organized by the World Wildlife Fund, began on a “small” scale in 2007 in Sydney, Australia, with about 2.2 million homes and businesses turning off lights. By 2009, the effort had expanded to hundreds of millions of participants in over 4,000 cities in 88 countries! You can only imagine what kind of difference is made in energy conservation, and it is certainly a step towards the organization’s goal: confronting climate change.
