I remember my grandma rearing chickens in our ancestral home when I was a kid. I did not think much of it until I came across this presentation by Sarah Gilbert.
Her family discovered form rearing chickens, how to tread lightly on earth. Would I be rearing chickens soon? Not lightly. But Sarah's story did get me thinking what I can do to get my family to see things differently enough to be aware and care for the environment.

Winner of World's Best Presentation Contest 2008
Jeff Brenman won the "World's Best Presentation Contest 2008". He is definitely aware how lack of water will be affecting our environment. Take time to view his points before we reach the stage when thirst becomes unquenchable.

Lights off Earth Hour
Earth Hour started with the idea to get 2 million residents in Sydney to turn off all the lights in their homes for one hour on 31 March 2007. The objective is to inspire people to take action on climate change. So, what was the response to this request?
Shankar Vedantam of Washington Post reported that the "Lights-Out Event More Showy Than Practical" because the energy saved was small.
But Earth Hour is not giving up on their aspirations to create an awareness on climate change. If you would like to be part of this action during the next "Lights Off Earth Hour", sign up and tell your friends about it.
This is how Foundation for Building Sustainable Communities spread the message in Canada.
I believe that every action to create an awareness counts no matter how mundane it may be. It does not matter that it begets negative responses. Debates from participants and spectators will create a stream of reactions that could well lead to a solution for a greener world.
