EARTH HOUR 2009

Hi everyone,

As today is Friday and weï¿½ve got 8 more days until Earth Hour 2009, Iï¿½d like to urge all of you to register and participate for this event. I have always believed that as teachers we all have a role in shaping studentsï¿½ personalities and influencing their views. So please help our planet, encourage your students to sign up and to participate. Register your school and urge everyone there to do what they can. I am not sure if all of you know about Earth Hour 2009. If youï¿½d like to know more or if youï¿½d like to register this is the link http://www.earthhour.org . Your browser will take you to your countryï¿½s WWF site where you can register.If it doesnï¿½t or if youï¿½d like more information you can try this site also: http://www.voteearth2009.org/home/ . If you decide youï¿½d like to do something with your students on Friday March 27 and you havenï¿½t got the time to make your own worksheet I can send you the one I uploaded so you donï¿½t have to waste a point downloading mine. I will send it to anyone who sends me a personal message. I donï¿½t care about points. . I only ask that you look at the links and encourage everyone to join in the celebration.

I hope I havenï¿½t tired everyone. Have a nice Friday and a great weekend.

Thanks Maria for the reminder. I definitely agree with you that we as teachers have an important role, and we have to take advantage of that role to bring about a change.

I will vote for our planet and spread the word.

Greetings,
Eva

Thanks, Maria,

I ï¿½ve already registered. I will follow the instructions; we must take some action, and you ï¿½re right, I can ï¿½t agree more as we teachers have the power to guide our student ï¿½s ideas and views. Some of mine are really aware of climatic change and thoroughly commited to saving our planet.

Have a very nice weekend,

Cheers, Eva

I watched a programme on TV and saw that a large gathering of very eminent scientists met in Stokholm about two weeks ago to discuss what they called the great UN scam about global warming. ï¿½These scientists claim that it is pure scare-mongering but that the UN and huge businesses are attempting to panic people into believing that global warming is caused by ï¿½the actions of humanity. ï¿½They agree that terrible polution is being caused by the way ï¿½in which man is abusing the environment but also they are saying that global warming is not the result of that. ï¿½Global warming (they claim) is a natural cycle that the earth is going through , just as it did during the ice-age. ï¿½They definitely agreed that pollution is a grave problem but that making people believe that this is the cause of global warming is a scam to generate panic into buying and spending recklessly. Even if the emmissions of toxic waste were to end in the morning it seems that the earth will still have to go through it ï¿½s natural cycle as it has done for millions of years.ï¿½

Though that this might be an interesting topic as we approach Earth Hour.
