TDSB Earth Hour is now only 29 days away!
When this notice is being sent there will be only 29 days left until our Friday March 25, 2011 TDSB Earth Hour (2-3pm).
Earth Hour is an especially good candidate for a student-run environmental campaign about energy conservation and slowing climate change. Its sharp focus allows you to undertake as little or as much
awareness and action building as your school is ready  for.
It's a wonderfully inclusive campaign--the
youngest child can take part.
Teachers can jump in to lead an Earth
Hour Electricity Walk supported by the
newly created EcoSchools lesson plan
and PowerPoint presentation available at
ecoschools.ca/Earth Hour 2011.
The Earth Hour page of the website also includes four versions of the 2011 TDSB Earth Hour poster/checklist (colour 8 ½ x14" and 11x17"; B&W 8 ½ x14" and 11x17"), school stories and activities from last year. This poster can serve as an organizing tool for classroom or school-wide campaigns.
Additional resources are available at both the global Earth Hour site, and the Canadian one.
Last year TDSB schools and offices decreased their electricity use by an impressive 23.09%. Can we do more this year?
