How do you start?
Go to earthhour.org to explore the type of events you as an individual, family, a group, or a business in celebrating this event.
Some activities such as picnics or dinners in the dark with family and friends, recycling activities, watching climate change-related films or documentaries are some of the ways that you can enjoy this time. Schools may decide to have an assembly to kick off this event on the Friday prior to encourage the students to take this activity home to their families.
By this one hour participation, it not only is a help to our planet, but will prompt us as stewards to begin protecting the earth and applying the 4Rs of recycling, reducing, reusing, and respecting the earth.
