March 27th is Earth Hour!

Posted March 1, 2021

It is vital to teach our children to respect and take care of the environment.

Join the global Movement! Celebrate Earth Hour on March 27th at 8:30pm.

Earth Hour’s mission is uniting people to protect the planet by raising awareness of about climate change and encouraging positive action.

  “Earth Hour was famously started as a lights-off event in Sydney, Australia in 2007. Since then it has grown to engage more than 172 countries and territories worldwide.”

 Earth Hour is more than an event. It is a movement that has achieved massive environmental impact, including legislation changes by harnessing the power of the crowd.”

Ideas for your family to do for Earth Hour!

Earth Hour belongs to you. Celebrate your commitment to the planet with your friends, family, community or at work – in your own way.

  • stargaze, or go camping in your backyard
