Earth Hour will see millions of people across the world who will switch lights off for an hour on March 29 (Saturday) at 8:30 pm – to raise awareness for the plane
But how will we celebrate? Is there anything official being planned – perhaps at the Oval where the lights often burn throughout the night?
This year, WWF’s Earth Hour campaign will be calling on you to make your individual promise to the planet by asking the question, “How do you Honour the Earth?”
An online platform will be launched in March where you will be able to make your promise to the Earth and share it with the world.
For seven years running, on the last Saturday of March, millions of people around the world have switched off their lights for Earth Hour as a symbolic gesture to show their commitment to taking positive actions for our planet.
Beyond the symbolic 60 minutes of darkness, Earth Hour has grown into a powerful, global, citizen-driven movement of progressive change for the environment. Recent examples of bold innovation and collective action have demonstrated the power of Earth Hour to effect lasting and tangible change across the globe.
Earth Hour is an inspired opportunity to engage our hearts and minds and to reflect on, and renew our commitments to making the planet a place where we and future generations may prosper. Although we are not always aware of it, our individual actions can, and do, have a great impact on our natural world.
This year, join the movement that will transform our planet.
Tell us what you, your family and friends in the Dundee area are doing to mark the occasion. Send your photos to dundee.courier@caxton.co.za
