What are you doing Saturday night? Here’s an awesome idea.
Turn off the lights for 60 minutes.
Across the world on March 28th, millions of people will be doing the same at precisely 8:30pm local time. The reason? To celebrate earth and raise awareness about climate change.
Earth Hour was created in 2007 by the World Wildlife Fund in Sydney, Australia and has since grown into a global lights-off event in more than 162 countries and territories. Check out photos online… you’ll be amazed at the beauty of people everywhere gathering, lighting candles, and gazing at starry skies.
So join in! Here’s how:
1. Find an event near you
Near Northampton, MA? We’re co-hosting @ Dobra Tea (186 Main Street). Join us for music, food & amazing artisan teas on March 28th. Lights out, candles lit at 8:30pm!
2. Create your own Earth Hour event
3. Join Prosperity Candle’s “9 fun things to do during Earth Hour” on social media and win one of 9 candles
4. Most importantly, turn off all your non-essential lights at 8:30pm on March 28th
Whether you’ll be stargazing, striking a yoga pose, connecting with someone you love, or taking part in a local event… do it by candlelight. And tell the world!
Simply head to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and share one thing you’ll do while the lights are off for a chance to win. We’ll be announcing 9 winners on March 31st. See rules below.
We all recognize that individually, it’s hard to make a significant difference when it comes to climate change. But together, we can. Global problems require global solutions, and Earth Hour shows us how simple it can be unite people across time zones for a worthy cause.
Your power to make change happen is unlimited when you connect and join forces with others. And have a bit of fun along the way.
