Our Environment
On Friday, March 27th, all TDSB schools will be joining in for our own Earth Hour to help the environment and save precious energy. This is our practice run for the REAL Earth Hour which is on Saturday, March 28th between 8:30 and 9:30 pm. when everyone at home (or at a business) should try to turn off as many energy consuming appliances, TVs, computers, and lights as possible.The World Wildlife Federation explains Earth Hour like this - Earth Hour is a highly visible symbolic act. One that brings people of all ages and backgrounds around the world together to sound a clear call-to-action for our most pressing global challenge; climate change.
This is a great time for sitting with the family and storytelling or singing to candlelight! Please do not ignore this important movement. Becoming aware or our energy consumption, our environment, and climate change is something we must ALL do! Please go to the following sites to learn about Earth Hour.
