Earth Hour in Toronto was a Bust
By Brian Madigan LL.B.
You would think that with all the energy conservation talk these days, that something like Earth Hour would be a remarkable success.
Well, not in Toronto.
It started two years ago, an realized savings of 15% in 2009, that dropped last year to 10%, and it dropped in half this year to 5% savings.
Some Toronto homes were photographed during Earth Hour, and they appeared to be quite illuminated. They included the house of the former Mayor, the present Provincial Energy Minister, and (this is very, very difficult to believe) the President of Earth Day Canada.
So, this now looks like a complete failure. No one cares! The politicians and the political lobbyists don't even bother with appearances.
