educate 150 000 students about taking action on climate change. | Pepsi Refresh Everything - Canada

Lights Out Canada equips teachers and students with information, resources and ideas on how to take action on climate change in their schools, homes and communities. Participants are not only provided with a scientific backgrounder on climate change (that has been edited by Dr. Andrew Weaver, leading author of the IPCC 2007 Report on Climate Change), but also a plethora of ideas for projects that students can take on themselves.

Over 122 000 students participated in 2010 and our goal is to break this record by reaching 150 000 students in 2011. We will collect 500 commitments to action from students and publish them on an interactive website.

Because we are a project by youth for youth, we have received significant media coverage in the past
