Earth Hour – GO BEYOND THE HOUR

Filed under: Uncategorized Tags: , , , — on Mon, Mar 21, 2011

In less than three weeks it’s time for another annual event of Earth Hour – the global happening which millions of people from around the world participate in by turning off their lights. I have complained earlier that I think this is just a pointless publicity stunt with no real effects. This time though it seems the campaigners want to do something more substantial than just encourage people to turn off their lights for one hour. For 2011 they are asking people to go “beyond the hour”:

“At 8.30 PM on Saturday 26 March 2011, lights will switch off around the globe for Earth Hour. This year, when the lights go back on, we want you to think about what you can change in your daily life that will benefit the planet.

The Koru Team would like to congratulate Ferguson Elementary for the great activities they have planned for Earth Week! Some activities include :

Tuesday – Show you Care About our Planet.  Wear your favorite CAP to school

Wednesday – Bring a “Litterless Lunch”.  Participants get a small prize.

Thursday – Make our school GREEN.  Wear everything the color green.  The class in each grade with the most green clothing  items gets a pizza party.

Friday – Recycle your old batteries in the Battery Bin in the atrium.

Great Green Initiatives at Ferguson Elementary!
