Organised by WWF-UKEarth Hour is the moment millions of people connect with others and switch off their lights to show they care about the future of our planet. Joining the big switch off reminds us that even small actions can make a big difference.
Earth Hour · 27 March 2021 ·
Millions of people across the world will be switching off their lights for an hour from 8.30pm on Saturday 27th March to celebrate Earth Hour. This year we're asking you to go one step further; We cant bring communities together to raise money, but you can still organise your own fundraising activity with your household or virtually with friends and family!
Your fundraising is vital in the fight for our world. Did you know...
£20 could pay for a blood sample from a polar bear in Svalbard, providing scientists with the hard facts they need to persuade governments to reduce pollution and tackle climate change
£100 could pay for one GPS device to help monitor jaguars,, whose main threat are habitat loss and the resulting fragmentation of its populations
£500 could help us plant 50 trees in Nepal, which will help keep cities cooler in the face of climate change.
We've reached a crucial time to protect the planet we call home. We're destroying forests, choking the oceans with plastic, decimating wildlife population sizes, and causing devastating changes to the climate. We are the first generation to know we are destroying the world. And we could be the last that can do anything about it.
That's why Earth Hour is so vital. It gives a powerful voice to people everywhere who want to put the world on the path to recovery. We have the solutions, we just need our voices to be heard! Show your support by fundraising while you switch off for an hour.
Charities pay a small fee for our service. Learn more about fees
