7 Simple Switches To Make A Difference
Earth Hour 2021 shines a spotlight on the perilous state of the planet, calling for urgent action to set nature on the path of recovery.
Saturday, 27 March at 8:30 p.m. local time, Earth Hour, one of the largest global grassroots movements for the environment, will virtually bring together millions of people, businesses and leaders from around the world to shine a spotlight on the urgent need to address nature loss and climate change.
Earth Hour has grown to engage more than hundreds of millions of people around the world in more than 7,000 cities and towns across 187 countries and territories to raise awareness for energy consumption and effects on the environment. It is not an energy/carbon reduction exercise, it is a symbolic action to encourage everyone from individuals, businesses and governments around the world to take accountability for their ecological footprint and engage in dialogue and resource exchange that provides real solutions to the environmental challenges globally.
Earth Hour is also about more than just switching off the lights, it is about spending time to understand the issues we face, making changes and choices that have a positive impact, connect to Earth and appreciate and help protect the beautiful natural world around us.
This Earth Hour in Australia the call is to encourage people everywhere to make the #SwitchforNature to support Australia’s switch to a renewables-based economy.
