Dedicate an hour to the planet
Give an Hour for Earth
Earth Hour is a global initiative launched by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) in 2007: calling on individuals, communities, businesses and governments to turn off their lights for one hour from 20:30 to 21:30 on the last Saturday of March every year, in order to stimulate people's sense of responsibility to protect the planet, think about environmental issues such as climate change, and show support for the global action against climate change.
Give an Hour for Earth by spending 60 minutes doing something - anything - positive for our planet.
[Could an Hour change the world？]
