Things I've Learned

Bear of the week is the Earth Hour panda bear. On a terrace under the Acropolis the Greek-speaking panda bear is calling Athenians to turn off their lights tonight from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m

Like last year, thousands of households and businesses around the world are expected to turn off their lights and electrical appliances for one hour tonight. Earth Hour, organised by WWF is held on the last Saturday of March since 2007. Its aim is to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change. Or rather against climate change. So, while turning off the lights for one hour per year can be an important symbolic event, I would suggest to learn what else you can do to fight climate change.
