CBE Earth Hour

As part of the 10% Electricity Conservation Challenge and the ongoing Going Out? Lights Out! Campaign, the CBE will hold its 4th Annual Earth Hour on Wednesday, April 20, at 2 pm, for one hour.

All schools and departments are being asked to participate!

Here’s what you need to do:

Step 1: Send an e-mail to ecoteam@cbe.ab.ca with the subject line ‘CBE Earth Hour’ and your school or department’s name will be posted on the CBE Earth Hour page. Sign up today!

Step 2: Communicate! Let everyone at your school, or site, know that you will be participating in the CBE Earth Hour and turning out the lights at 2 p.m. for one hour on Wed April 20. Designate staff and/or students to be responsible for turning out the lights at 2 p.m. on Wed April 20. If you need posters and/or light decals, please send an e-mail to ecoteam@cbe.ab.ca and we will send them out to you!

Step 3: Turn out all non-emergency lighting on Wed, April 20 at 2 p.m. for one hour. Make it an event! Take this opportunity to learn about energy, climate change or take the class outside for an outdoor lesson. Need ideas? Look at the CBE Earth Hour or CBE Earth Day pages.
