What is Earth Hour Day?

Earth Hour Day 2020 will be practised on March 28. On this day, people all over the world switch the electricity off for 60 minutes, hence giving it the tagline “Earth Hour 60+”. Through this simple move, thousands of watts of energy is conserved, giving the Earth a break from the power-consuming activities happening around the clock. Every year, on a specific day, various business firms, as well as individuals, contribute to nature by putting off their power consumption from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM. The event is also extensively advertised for the people to be aware of the date and time to participate. As the move is simple, millions of people around the globe contribute to it every year. Due to the current COVID-19 crisis that has taken over the world, the activity has gone digital and no outdoor events are happening.
