Earth Hour

Every year, the group at the Earth Hour organize a countdown across the globe to celebrate Earth Hour and take one iconic action: switch off the lights.
When it hits 8:30pm your time, on the last Saturday of March, Earth Hour engages supporters in countries and territories around the world to take action to ensure a brighter future for people and the planet to work together. It is a symbol of hope for this unity between people and planet.
The effort was started in 2007 by WWF and partners as a symbolic lights-out event in Sydney, Australia, to raise awareness of climate change.
Earth Hour has now gone far beyond the symbolic action of switching off. It is a catalyst for positive environmental impact.

About the Workshop
The purpose of this workshop is to educate people on how to capture the beauty of the northern lights and the night sky on camera. Topics being covered include equipment needed, camera settings, and the best locations for viewing. These workshops will start out with a brief powerpoint presentation (in the conference room), and then we will go outside for hands-on experience — taking pictures of the night time sky (hopefully northern lights) around the Lodge property (weather depending). With the information garnered from the workshop, it will make stargazing more enjoyable.
