My future, my climate contest...

Earth Hour represents a message of hope and action in the fight against climate change. When you turn off your lights on March 28 at 8:30pm, what is your message? After all, your voice matters because the planet today is yours to inherit tomorrow.

WWF-Canada invites young Canadians in grades one to eight to share their message through our My Future, My Climate Postcard Contest. The contest will run from March 23 to April 24.

To enter, simply create a postcard addressed to the Prime Minister that includes artwork of your solution to climate change, a short message about your participation in Earth Hour, and a personal appeal for urgent action.

Following the contest, WWF-Canada will deliver these postcards to the Hou...se of Commons in Ottawa.

Check back for entry information and prizing details on March 23!
