Earth Hour

Earth Hour 2016 took place in an unprecedented 178 countries and territories, making it the biggest celebration for our planet ever, and it is individuals like YOU that made it possible.

Earth Hour is a worldwide movement for the planet organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). The event is held worldwide annually encouraging individuals, communities, households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights for one hour, from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. towards the end of March, as a symbol for their commitment to the planet. It 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. Today, Earth Hour engages a massive mainstream community on a broad range of environmental issues. The one-hour event continues to remain the key driver of the now larger movement.

Earth Hour will held on Saturday, from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. during participants' local time. Next year, it will be held on 25 March 2017.
