24.01.2022 Happy #EarthHour 2021! Originating in Sydney over 15 years ago, Earth Hour is now one of the world's largest grassroots movements for the environment. Every year on the last Saturday of March, Earth Hour encourages everyone to switch off their lights for just one hour between 8:30PM and 9:30PM. Join them tonight and spend a candle-lit hour with your loved ones, play a game, tell stories, sing or read, and talk about what we can all do to improve our carbon footprint this year. Learn more via Earth Hour!
