Why give an Hour for Earth?

Because an hour can change everything. Earth Hour offers a moment for solidarity and positivity, an opportunity to come together, with family and friends, community and country, in celebration of the one home we all share: Earth. It shines as a beacon of hope in troubled times.

Now is our time to come together, take action and spark change. All it takes is an hour doing something you love while connecting with nature.

Earth Hour around the world

Earth Hour is a powerful reminder of the importance of our planet, the need to protect it and how little time we have to do so. It's the world's largest grassroots environmental campaign and since 2007 has mobilised people from over 190 countries to take action on the climate crisis and nature loss. It started as a 'switch-off' event, but in South Africa, where we are sometimes involuntarily switched off for hours at a time, we do Earth Hour differently, rallying supporters to give an hour for Earth by doing something they love.
