Earth Hour Tomorrow!

At 8:30pm tomorrow, turn off your lights for one hour and join millions of people around the world who are taking action against climate change!

Quickly becoming a tradition, Earth Hour is celebrated around the world. In 2007, 2.2 million people turned off their lights, powered down their computers and made a stand for environmental sustainability. In 2008, 50 million people participated.

This year, the goal for Earth Hour is for 1 billion people to switch off their lights as part of a global ‘vote’ for the planet. To date, over 1000 communities have pledged to participate in Earth Hour, making it the biggest year yet!

Turning off your lights doesn’t mean you have to sit in the dark – there are many resources available to make Earth Hour fun! Candle-lit dinners, board game nights, and stargazing are just a few of the Earth Hour activities you could participate in.

Earth Hour can also be a time for spiritual reflection. KAIROS has developed resources for a worship service to be held during Earth Hour. With ideas for transportation, lighting and songs, your faith community can share in exploring God’s call to care for creation.

So take a stand for the planet this Saturday and switch off your lights!
