On February 9th the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is asking Canadians to turn down the heat and wear a sweater to show that you are taking action on climate change.  From the WWF's National Sweater Day website:

By rethinking how we use energy and how much we use, we can make a big impact on climate change.  If every Canadian lowered the heat a few degrees this winter, it'd be like taking 300,000 vehicles off the road!  So wear that sweater and make the world a better place for your Grandchildren.

Not sure that you'll remember to wear a sweater on National Sweater Day?  No problem, just go to the website and book a granny to give you a call!

If you are interested in finding out more about climate change the David Suzuki Foundation provides a straightforward fact page here.  If you are in Grade 10 Science, section 3.3 in the online course is all about climate change.
