Three… Earth Hour facts



1. Hundreds of millions of people

For 60 minutes, people in more than 7000 cities in over 190 countries switch off their lights as a symbolic gesture of solidarity to show they care about our planet and its future.

2. Not just about switching off your lights

The aim is to spark global conversations on the impacts of climate change and inspire positive action to protect our natural world. By working together we can help shape a bright future for us all.

3. How to get involved

This year, Earth Hour is at 8.30pm local time Saturday 25 March. All Australians are invited to sign up to take #TimeOutForNature and join the global community of millions supporting stronger action on climate change.
