Possible ways to spend your earth hour:
Reconnect with nature: Explore the local area, go night hiking, or stargazing!
Spend time with your family and friends: Watch a movie together! Bonus points for a nature documentary. Or cook – candle-lit dinners aren’t just for Valentine’s day!
Give back to your community: Attend a local Earth Hour Event, or get involved in some local volunteering (we have our monthly operation churchyard days on the second Saturday of the month)! Nature-clean ups, tree planting initiatives, or local recycling projects.
