What is Earth Hour?

According to official website of Earth Hour, global event being organised by World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is a global grassroots movement uniting people to take action on environmental issues and protect planet. 

Earth Hour was founded as a lights-out event in Sydney, Australia in 2007. Since n, it has been getting worldwide attention from over 185 countries and territories, motivating people to take a step ahe toward environment, and driving major legislative changes by harnessing power of crowd.

one-hour lights-out event is a firm symbol towards prevention of nature and Earth. While projects by WWF and individual actions are conducted throughout year, it is organised particularly in last week of March to motivate individuals, households, communities, and businesses to switch off lights when t required as a mark of commitment for planet.
Indeed, turning off lights just for an hour won't bring a major effect on yearly emissions, but if done in solidarity act can serve as an alarm for rest of world and people living in it.

A lot of local celebrity influencers are expected to support and take part in several events to promote awareness about energy conservation on March 25.  

Hundreds of local celebrity influencers are expected to show ir support, and several events to raise awareness about conservation efforts are planned for Saturday's Earth Hour.

People can also make best use of one hour and undertake several cheerful activities to promote cause, such as spending time in a nearby park along with neighbours, and friends or cooking good food while lights are turned off.
