Why is Earth Hour important? Isn't it just a symbolic event?
By choosing to participate in the Earth Hour, you are taking action to demonstrate you care about the health of our planet. Sure it is a small step individually, but last year alone, hundreds of millions of people on our shared earth turned out their lights to show they recognize that climate change is real and that they support change.
As the team at the World Wildlife Fund Canada states "It's about giving people a voice for the future of our planet, and sending a message to our world leaders that we want action on climate change" .
