What is Earth Hour?
Earth hour is a worldwide grassroots movement uniting people to protect the planet and is organized by WWF. Engaging a massive mainstream community on a broad range of environmental issues. 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 does Earth Hour aim to achieve?
Earth hour aims to encourage an interconnected global community to share the opportunities and challenges of creating a sustainable world.
Why is Earth Hour the event held in late March?
The second-to-last and weekend of march is around the time of the Spring and Autumn equinoxes in the northern and southern and southern hemispheres respectively, which allows for near coincidental sunset times in both hemispheres, thereby ensuring the greatest visual impact for a global 'lights out' event. Earth hour 2016 held on Saturday 19 March between 8.30PM and 9.30PM in local time zone.
