The clock is ticking for climate change

Earth’s lights will be dimmed

The countdown to Earth Hour is well underway. A partnership between The Star and WWF-Canada intends to show the public’s concern for global warming to our political leaders. The ask is to shut off the lights and stop the appliances for one hour in the month of March. The result so far is a great collection of resources and information on climate change and the public policy around this issue.

In the print edition of The Star is a great comparison of the four major parties’ initiatives relating to climate change issues. These articles can also be found online, broken into their respective parties:

• Conservative
• Liberal
• NDP
• Greens

Details on Earth Hour can be found at www.earthhour.org.
