    Earth Hour 2010

    Earth Hour

    Earth Hour 2010 takes place on Saturday March 27th at 8.30pm (local time) and the lights will be out for an hour somewhere in the world for that hour. Once again, famous and not so famous buildings along with landmarks and little known places will turn off their lights in contemplation of our planet.  Houses and businesses located everywhere from Australia, Europe,  Asia, Africa, to South America and North America will go dark for one hour. People across the world from all walks of life will turn off their lights in contemplation of our planet.

    Earth Hour began back in 2007 when 2.2 million homes and businesses  in Sydney Australia turned their lights off for one hour. This was to be their way of showing a commitment to climate change. Then one year later more than 50 million people across 35 countries participated. Even major landmarks like The CN Tower in Toronto, The Sydney Harbour Bridge, The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and Rome’s Colosseum, all stood in darkness, to demonstrate their commitment  to the cause.

    When March 2009 came around, hundreds of millions of people took part in the third Earth Hour.  These hundreds of millions included people from over four thousand cities in 88 countries officially switched off their light in a pledge of their support for their planet, this made Earth Hour 2009 the world’s largest global climate change initiative.

    At Telsec they too are concerned with be ecologically and green friendly.  Located in a green friendly building, Telsec Toronto office space has also taken steps to be a green office space. With a state of the art computerized lighting system, making sure that lights are not burning all night when no one is in their office space Toronto. On Saturday March 27th 2010 at Telsec’s Downtown Toronto office space, all non essential lights will be off at 8:30 pm. Because their Toronto office space is a 24 hour facility, Telsec has informed its clients that all lights will be shut off between 8:30 and 9:30 pm in observance of Earth Hour 2010.

    Day 11 of the Vancouver Olympics Brings Another Gold Medal

    Office Space No Comments

    Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir have won the gold medal in Ice Dancing. Not only have they won another Gold Medal for Canada, they made Olympic history, they are the first North American team to win the Olympic Ice Dancing Championship. They went into tonight’s Free Skate with a 2.6 point lead, but there are their American training partners and a strong Russian team that were expected to give them them a good run.

    While I am not a fan of cross country skiing, I read today that Canadian Bill McKeever will make Olympic history by being the first winter athlete ever named to both Olympic and Paralympic teams. McKeever has only 10 % vision and that is not a challenge for him in competing with fully sighted skiers in the 50km race. His ability to compete with his vision impairment may even help him over other athletes in blinding snow conditions.

    Canada’s Women’s ice hockey team has just defeated the Swedish team 5-0. They will play the USA on Thursday for the Gold Medal in Women’s Ice Hockey. Canada is favoured to win that game as well.

    One predominate feature of these Vancouver Olympic Games has been the effort to stage some of the greenest Games ever, thanks to a partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). Low-flow toilets that use rainwater for flushing, separate bins for compostable waste and energy-efficient grass-clad roofs are some of the environmentally-friendly features on display at Olympic sites in and around Vancouver. Even the transportation of people around the games is greener. There are twenty hydrogen fuel cell buses that are being operated by BC Transit in Whistler.

    Telsec Toronto office space for rent is also concerned about being green, their green friendly building has been retrofitted to take steps that conserve on energy and reduce dependence on valuable resources such as electricity and water. Telsec’s eco friendly offices took further steps to reduce energy consumption by optimizing their lighting usage with a computerized system that detects when lights are not needed and shuts them off to conserve even more energy.
