Earth Hour is a world-wide celebration where millions of people turn off their lights for one hour to tackle the dual challenges facing the planet – climate change and loss of nature. During Earth Hour, ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø schools and offices are asked to go as electricity-free as possible for ONE HOUR on March 25th at 2pm. Wherever possible, our schools and offices will turn off interior lighting, and any non-essential electronics and power bars.
This year energy reduction will be tracked at each ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø school, with the top 25 Elementary and Secondary schools getting a shout out. Let’s make this year our biggest energy reduction ever! To help maximize your energy reduction, explore the ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø EcoSchools Earth Hour resources.
Earth Hour presents a great opportunity to raise awareness about environmental issues and run campaigns focused on energy conservation and climate change. For more information about climate action at the ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø, check out the Environment, Energy and Climate Action website.
