Earth Hour 2010

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

We are very excited to be partnering again with WWF-Canada to promote Earth Hour, an event that takes place on March 27, 2010 at 8:30 pm where hundreds of millions of people around the world will turn off their lights for an hour to demand action on climate change.

This year, Earth Hour has a new contest where people can upload a photo essay or video to tell WWF-Canada what steps they are taking for the planet – big or small. Once uploaded, they are entered to win a trip for two to see polar bears in Churchill, Manitoba with us – Frontiers North!

We continuously blogged about our 2009 Earth Hour contest winner and we are looking forward to supporting the event again by hosting our excited 2010 winners up in Churchill. We are also supporting the cause by turning off our own office lights on Friday, March 26 for an entire day to do our part to raise awareness for Earth Hour.

Here is our video Blog from the North of our 2009 Earth Hour winner’s trip to Churchill and other promotional Earth Hour videos:

In conjunction with the Olympic Torch Relay passing through Churchill, we had the opportunity to host Muhtar Kent, CEO of Coca-Cola and other senior management members of both Coca-Cola and WWF.

In a great article series by Marc Gunther, which has also been featured on CNNMoney.com, Marc chats with Muhtar Kent while he was in Copenhagen lending support to a global agreement to regulate carbon emissions.

While on our Tundra Buggy, Kent witnessed what most of us did this past autumn. He is quoted in the article:

“There were a lot of hungry polar bears waiting for the ice,” Kent said. “They were coming out of hibernation, they’d been on land for months, and they can’t feed unless they are on ice. The ice was late in forming, and we saw that with our own eyes.”
