Knitting for Change (Sort of)

The World Wildlife Federation is encouraging Canadians to turn down the heat and put on a sweater on February 9th. The effort is meant to combat climate change and raise awareness. I love the knitting imagery they are using in the ads. Why not get on board (even if you aren't in Canada)?
