SCHOOL-OF-SUSTAINABILITY. Feasta. Welcome to Green Schools Ireland. Friends of the Earth Ireland. Friends of the Irish Environment. The next Earth Hour will be on Saturday 23 March 2013 20:30 134 countries supported Earth Hour last year – more than 4000 cities. Paris, Moscow, Berlin, Bern, Dublin, Madrid, Vaduz, and Amsterdam joined cities as far afield as Capetown and Rio Janerio. Earth Hour has done much to raise awareness of sustainability issues. But there’s more to it than switching off lights for one hour once a year. It’s all about giving people a voice and working together to create a better future for our planet. And it not just one hour – this year people have been encouraged to go beyond the hour – reinforcing the commitments we have made to our planet – and to explore what else we can do to meet the challenge of living sustainably.
The best event in 2012 was in Kinsale, County Cork, where Mary Robinson, Ireland’s ex–President and the head of the Mary Robinson Foundation for Climate Justice, congratulated the organisers in a personal video linking climate change to human rights.
