In an attempt to inspire people to take action on climate change, the Friends of Hat Creek joined with others around the world and turned off all the lights in Hat Creek, Alberta for one hour on March 29, 3008. All the lights, radios and even the television were turned off in support of Earth Hour 2008. It might have seemed like it was a small thing but the Friends of Hat Creek were encouraged by their action to reduce their human footprint and make a difference by being in the dark one more time.
