What is Earth Hour?

Posted on March 5, 2020

Most of us are familiar with Earth Day, but what about Earth Hour?

Each March, millions of people across the world participate in Earth Hour. To participate, people are turning off the lights in their homes and businesses and taking part in the world’s largest grassroots movement for the environment.

Earth Hour began as a single-city initiative in Sydney, Australia back in 2007 and has since grown into a global movement with hundreds of millions of people from more than 7,000 cities and towns in over 188 countries and territories.

Earth Hour is not only a way to conserve energy, it is a symbolic event encouraging today’s generations to band together in a collective action for preserving nature and protecting the planet.

Participate in Earth Hour in 2020 – Mark your calendar for Saturday, March 28, 2020, at 8:30 pm your local time.

You can read more about Earth Hour here: www.earthhour.org.
