Earth Hour: Join the global movement on March 27

Published

on

In 2007, the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) launched Earth Hour, a global initiative to raise awareness about climate change. It’s since become one of the largest grassroots environmental movements in the world.

Do you want to join the millions of people who participate in Earth Hour every year? If so, simply turn off all your lights on March 27, 2021, from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. This simple act demonstrates solidarity with global efforts to protect wildlife, forests, rivers, and oceans, all of which are crucial to the health and prosperity of people and the planet.

In addition, participating in Earth Hour can symbolize your commitment to making changes in your daily life that will help safeguard the environment. From recycling and buying locally to avoiding single-use plastics and turning off your computer at the end of the day, there are plenty of easy ways to take action.
