Take part in Earth Hour 2024
Every year, millions of people around the world come together, at 8.30pm local time on a Saturday in March, to observe Earth Hour, a symbolic event that highlights the importance of environmental conservation and sustainable living.
Since its creation in 2007, Earth Hour, which is organised by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), has been known for its "lights off" moment. As landmarks and homes across the world switch off, supporters are also invited to symbolically switch off and 'Give an hour for Earth', spending 60 minutes doing something - anything - positive for our planet. In 2023, over 410,000 hours were given to our planet by supporters in 190 countries and territories, representing 90% of the planet, making it the Biggest Hour for Earth.
This year Earth Hour takes place on Saturday, 23 March and there are lots of great ideas of how you can get involved.
As well as turning off non-essential lights at home WWF has developed the Hour Bank, a new online interactive tool, to help everyone, everywhere to find the most enjoyable ways to give an hour for Earth. Whether it is a mindful walk through the woods to bask in the smell of air, feel the earth, and take in the sounds or engaging in a home scavenger hunt to identify and swap out unsustainable products with eco-friendly alternatives, there are myriad options to choose from.
The Hour Bank provides a list of activities and events based on participants' lifestyle interests and preferences, from food and fitness to art and entertainment.

Whilst Earth Hour is a great event that shows global unity in the fight against climate change, it is important that we can continue this momentum to help protect the planet throughout the year. By incorporating eco-friendly actions into our daily lives, we can all contribute to building a more healthy and sustainable future for our planet. Whether it's reducing our energy use, taking part in conservation sessions, or planting a tree, every action, no matter how small, has the potential to make a difference.
