The Earth Hour 2018 focuses on having conversations about the interconnectivity of climate change with people and biodiversity.
Started as a symbolic lights-out event in Sydney in 2007, WWF’s Earth Hour has grown to become the world’s largest grassroots movement for the environment, inspiring individuals, communities, businesses and organizations in more than 180 countries and territories to take tangible climate action for over a decade.

Earth Hour 2018 is on Saturday, March 24, from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. in your local timezone.

Like every year, you can put up posters to “switch off” power for an hour.
