Earth Hour is a great initiative taken internationally by people to conserve energy and the natural climate. Last year, Earth Hour was successfully observed at every corner of the world. This year, too, thousands of people are expected to take part in the event. Read on to know more about it.

History of Earth Hour

Started as a symbolic lights-out event in Sydney in 2007 by WWF and partners, Earth Hour is now one of the world's biggest environmental grassroots movements. Earth Hour, held annually on the last Saturday of March, involves millions of people in over 180 countries and territories turning off their lights to express respect for our world. But the significance of Earth Hour is much more than just shutting off lights which acts as a symbolic action-catalyst for positive effects on the climate. The whole movement acts as a force to develop significant policy reforms by harnessing people's influence and collective action. Earth Hour is open-source and invites anyone and everyone to participate and help to improve the goal of uniting people to protect the world.
