Join the Fun of Earth Hour!
Have you ever heard of Earth Hour? It’s a super cool event that happens every year where people all over the world turn off their lights for one hour to help save energy and protect the planet. Earth Hour usually takes place on the last Saturday of March, and it’s the perfect chance for you to be a superhero for the Earth! This year, it will fall on 22 March between 20h30 and 21h30.
Here’s why it’s important: turning off lights helps save energy, which is good for the environment. By using less energy, we help reduce pollution and make the Earth a cleaner, healthier place. Plus, it’s a fun way to spend time with your family! Imagine sitting in the dark, telling stories, playing games, or looking at the stars. It’s like a mini adventure right in your own home!
By participating in Earth Hour, you’re showing that you care about the planet. Even though it’s just one hour, it sends a big message. It reminds everyone that small actions, like turning off a light, can make a huge difference when we all work together.
So, mark your calendars and get ready to join the global movement! Earth Hour is the perfect time to shine bright—by going dark!
