The Halton District School Board (HDSB) encourages area households to participate in the Earth Hour which happens this Saturday, March 25 from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m.
“Earth Hour draws attention to biodiversity loss, climate change and the need for cooperation to secure a bright tomorrow for all people and the environment,” says a news release issued by the board. “HDSB schools are encouraged to spend at least 60 minutes on Friday, March 24 doing something positive leading into Earth Hour.”
This includes:
• Learning about the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including Affordable and Clean Energy, Clean Water and Sanitation and Climate Action
• Exploring the connection between climate and social justice
• Exploring water issues, using the UN Conference on Water as a starting point
• Commit to taking action on ensuring clean water access and water conservation
