Earth Hour brings together people from all walks of life to show solidarity for the well-being of the planet we inhabit against climate change.
This movement began in 2007 in Sydney, Australia, as a symbolic event by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The next year, Earth Hour was observed in 35 countries. And now, it has grown to involve people from as many as 190 countries. Over the years, it has become a catalyst for positive environmental impact, driving legislative changes by harnessing the power of collective action, stated the official website.
Today, Earth Hour aims to spark global conversations on protecting nature, tackling the climate crisis, and working together to shape a brighter future for us all.
