EARTH HOUR - WHAT IS EARTH HOUR?

EARTH HOUR - WHAT IS EARTH HOUR? | EARTH Hour is a worldwide movement organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). The event is held annually, encouraging individuals, communities, and businesses to turn off non-essential electric lights, for one hour, from 8:30 to 9:30 pm on a specific day towards the end of March, as a symbol of commitment to the planet.

How can we support Earth Hour at home?

It’s 8.30 pm on March 26th and Earth Hour has arrived. 

Here are some suggestions on how to make the most of Earth Hour with your family:

1. Tell as many people as possible and encourage them to join in. Share links to Earth Hour on social media.

2. Light candles, get the torches out and turn off your lights for an hour.

3. Have a meal by candlelight. Even better, can you create a meal where there’s no waste?

4. Play card games in the near-dark by torchlight!

5. Watch a film. You might want to go for something spooky or just something fun that the whole family will enjoy.

6. Take arty photographs in the half-light.

7. Play ‘Who am I?’ Everything’s definitely more fun in the dark!

8. Everyone in the family can write a list of three things that they’re going to do in future to help the planet. It might be as simple as not having a bath every night.

9. Create a shadow puppet play.

10. Last but not least, have a sing-song! Everyone can take it in turns to choose a song.
