What is Earth Hour?
Earth Hour is a worldwide grassroots movement uniting people to protect
the planet, and is organised by WWF. Earth Hour was famously started as a
lights-off event in Sydney, Australia in 2007. Since then it has grown to
engage more than 7000 cities and towns worldwide, and the one-hour event
continues to remain the key driver of the now larger movement.
What is Earth Hour Blue?
Earth Hour Blue is an all-new digital crowd funding and crowd sourcing
platform for the planet launched in 2014 to capture the power of the crowd and
engage people around the world beyond the lights out event. The crowd funding
section of the platform allows participants to financially support and deliver
positive, tangible changes to the environment and communities all over the
world. Individuals can also use Earth Hour Blue’s crowd sourcing platform,
which will call for people to add their voice to some of the biggest
environmental campaigns across the world.
When does Earth Hour take place?
Earth Hour 2016 will be held on Saturday 19 March between 8.30PM and
9.30PM in your local time zone. The event is held worldwide towards the end of
March annually, encouraging individuals, communities households and businesses
to turn off their non-essential lights for one hour as a symbol for their
commitment to the planet.
What does Earth Hour aim to achieve?
Earth Hour aims of creating a
sustainable world.
