EARTH HOUR

Earth Day organizers are asking people to shut off their lights for an hour between 8 and 9 this evening in the hope of raising awareness of the need to take action on climate change.

The cities of St. John's and Mount Pearl are on-board. It should be a dark night along the water front - Fortis Properties, Atlantic Place and Scotia Center have agreed to switch off their lights.

I hope Works & Services got the mom at the Confederation Building. It would be embarrassing to have the city enveloped in black tonight with the only lights coming from the Confederation Building Complex. If they are buying into "Earth Hour", it might be worth while to check out the offices of the PUB and see if climate change denier Andy Wells has flicked off his lights!

So do your part. Flick off your lights!
