Description
Earth Hour is a worldwide movement held annually to encourage individuals, communities, and businesses to turn off non-essential electric lights for one hour, do something positive with that time, and celebrate our planet. It serves as a beacon of positivity, hope, and inspiration to rally people, particularly those not yet fully engaged with the environmental crisis.
It typically is the last Saturday of March from 8:30 - 9:30 pm. Sometimes Earth Hour is the second to last Saturday if the last day of the month is a Saturday. Learn more about the event and get ideas on how to participate at www.EarthHour.org.
Earth Hour was started as a lights-off event in Sydney, Australia, in 2007 and now has participants in 190+ countries. The goal has been upped since then to not only turn off lights but to spend 60 minutes doing something - anything - positive for our one shared home.
The goal of Earth Hour is not just to save an hour’s electricity. It’s about giving people a voice and working together to create a better future for our planet. So, let’s switch off and give an hour for our Earth!
