Can we save the world in 1 hour?

NO!

That was simple EH?!:)

Do you really think that turning the lights off for Earth Hour will make a huge difference and may help save our planet? That would be a silly thought actually, but they say that "every little bit counts", and I'm all for getting the word out!

Yes, I took part, and I can see lots of people saying "bah, humbug", well I say a 9% drop in energy use in Toronto isn't a bad thing!

Think about the use of oil for energy, now think of the tar sands in Alberta, and how that rapes the land.

Think about how the Ivory trade, and trade that involves killing elephants for little trinkets, just to make a buck.

Think about how parts of the rain forest are being flattened to make way for soy bean fields, all because of the West's slow move to "healthy" eating, and because money means more than the future of our planet

Think about how we kill seals off the East Coast of Canada in the name of Heritage, when the world has passed it by.

Think about how many Asian cultures consider shark fin soup a delicacy and are willing to wipe them off the planet for just that reason.

Think about how Siberian tigers are killed, and their paws are served at high end Chinese banquets .

Just THINK about WHO and WHERE you buy you products from!

P.s., Watch the Movie/documentary "The Cove" if you feel the need to be disgusted by some practices used to "entertain" the world ..... Looks like I won't be going to "Sea World" anytime soon!
