Through Our Eyes

Eye Help Animals Great Horned Owl collectible pin

This is a reminder that tomorrow, March 28, from 8:30 – 9:30pm is Earth Hour. For one hour turn off all electricity in your home. The first year Jim and I did it we read a book out loud by lantern. It was great. We even went beyond the hour. And it was simple to do.

Make a commitment to help save the Earth by shutting off all electricity for one hour. You’ll be amazed at how fast it goes by and at how much it saves our Earth!

          Wise Great Horned Owls say “Earth Hour is a great idea!”

It’s that time again, time to help save energy by shutting down electricity in your home for one hour. An event that started in 2007 to raise awareness about climate change, 162 countries and territories now participate. Whether or not you believe in climate change, it is a good thing for our planet to shut off electricity for one hour.

“Earth Hour is an initiative to encourage individuals, businesses and governments around the world to take accountability for their ecological footprint and engage in dialogue and resource exchange that provides real solutions to our environmental challenges.” To find out more about Earth Hour and how you can get more involved in making changes to protect our environment, go to www.earthhour.org.

March 3rd is World Wildlife Day! The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed March 3 the day of the adoption of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), to celebrate and raise awareness of the world’s wild flora and fauna.
