GO GREEN !!

World Wildlife Fund's Earth Hour event is taking place world wide tonight and Kelowna's mayor has issued a challenge to residents.

City of Kelowna communications supervisor Tom Wilson says residents are encouraged to shut off their lights and unplug appliances this evening.
"The Mayor's issued a challenge to people to try and turn of their electrical lights and appliances for one hour from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM."

Wilson says everyone will be shutting off their power for one hour this evening including the City.
"We turn off the lights at City Hall and any other lights that can be turned off. A lot of them are hardwired for safety reasons."

Earth Hour began in 2007 in Sydney Australia and has grown into a global symbolic climate change initiative with more than 152 countries participating last year.
 
"MY FURTHER ADVISE, LET CELEBRATE EARTH DAY EVERY DAY  NOT FOR AN  HOUR"
                         
BECAUSE EVERY DAY IS TOO PRECIOUS, NOT JUST FOR US BUT FOR OUR NEXT GENERATION.
