Earth Hour 2020

Weather of Arabia - Today, Saturday, in various capitals, the Earth Hour event is being held, during which individuals and communities are encouraged to turn off lights and unnecessary electronic devices for one hour from 8:30 until 9:30 - at local time - to raise awareness of climate change.

Earth Hour was an event organized by the Global Environmental Protection Fund in 2007 for the first time in the Australian city of Sydney as an awareness campaign on climate change, where more than 2.2 million people and 2000 companies turned off the lights to support Mother Nature.

This campaign later became one of the largest international environmental events taking place in the last Saturday of March with the participation of nearly 1.8 billion people around the world.

Earth Hour .. What is it, and when did it start celebrating it?

This year, we face Earth Hour in exceptional circumstances, with the crisis in the countries of the world as they try to tackle the spread of the Corona Virus (COVID-19).

Earth Hour will take place today 28/3/2020 by turning off the lights in the house for an hour and it will be at local time 8:30 pm.

The Earth Hour Organizing Team recommends that all people participate in the Earth Hour digitally this year. Despite the extraordinary challenge the world faces.
