See The Amazing Things YOU Can Do for Earth Hour 2019!
You care about the planet. You “do your bit” for the environment. You’re worried about climate change and our future. So, make note of Saturday, March 30th, 2019. It’s all about People Power. Because at 8:30pm (your local time), you can show you care, by celebrating Earth Hour.
What’s Earth Hour All About?
Earth Hour is now the world’s largest grassroots movement for the environment, inspiring millions of people to take action for our planet and nature.
Earth Hour pushes for environmentally-friendly laws and policies, crowdfunds for a better future, and more, all co-ordinated by WWF and other volunteer organisations. Earth Hour’s greatest strength is the power of people.
As accelerating climate change and staggering biodiversity loss threaten our planet, Earth Hour 2019 will focus on never-before-had conversations on the loss of nature and the urgent need to protect it.
Most of the resources we use come from the environment. That’s why we have to do our part to protect the world around us!
