The University of Saskatchewan, along with several community partners, encourages you to participate by turning off lights, computers, computer monitors, radios, photocopiers and other non-essential electric devices before you leave work for the weekend. E-mail the Sustainability Office to let us know what you plan to do to for Earth Hour.

Earth Hour is a global initiative begun by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in Sydney, Australia last year. Almost 2.3 million Sydney residents participated, including more than 2,100 businesses. This year, the WWF is taking Earth Hour global. Several major cities in Canada and around the world, businesses and individual citizens are participating in this event with more joining daily.
