At its core, Earth Hour is a symbolic act of turning off lights and other non-essential appliances for one hour, however it is much more than simply turning off lights. It is about raising awareness and driving positive change towards a more sustainable future. Earth Hour serves as a reminder that small actions, when taken collectively, can have a significant impact on the environment.
This year’s celebration is all about going beyond the hour - it’s a call to connect with nature and take positive steps towards protecting the planet.
Here are some ways that you can participate this year:
- Unplug electronics: Switch off all the lights, TVs, computers, and other electronic devices that consume energy. This reduces your carbon footprint and saves energy
- Connect with nature: Take a walk outside, spend time in the garden and appreciate the beauty of the natural world
- Digital detox: Take a break from screens - spend time with loved ones, read a book or simply relax and enjoy the moment
- Practice sustainable habits: Take this opportunity to practice sustainable habits that can continue throughout the year, such as reducing water usage, sustainable commuting, recycling more, or reducing energy consumption
As a global business, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We understand that our actions as a business have an impact on the environment and the communities we serve. Therefore, we are committed to taking proactive steps to reduce our environmental footprint while also contributing to a sustainable and nature-positive world.
