Earth Hour

Earth Hour is an international movement in which people turn off lights symbolically for one hour to recognize the impact of energy on the environment.

Tips:

• Earth Hour takes place annually on the last Saturday in March. Schools and school boards usually participate on the Friday before the worldwide event.
• Make your event fun by asking students to wear school colours, dress up, or even add flower power fun hairstyles to bring attention to your event.
• Keep the momentum going all year long by having a weekly or monthly Earth Hour or Power Hour. Challenge your school to maintain a practice of turning off the lights to support energy conservation.
