Earth Hour 2022: What is it, and why is it observed?

This year’s Earth Hour will be held on March 26. It is significant because it promotes public awareness about the value of nature. The day also encourages individuals to take action in many roles and methods to help rescue the environment. As Earth Hour approaches, many people ask about what it is and why people participate in the event. In 2007, the World Wide Fund, WWF, presented the occasion.

What exactly is Earth Hour Day?

On this day, people worldwide turn off their electricity for 60 minutes. As a result, the day became known as Earth Hour. Earth Hour 2022 will be held on March 26 at 8:30 p.m. this year.

The day’s primary goal is to reduce massive power usage throughout the world while also focusing on nature, climate change, and sustainable development to conserve wildlife.

According to the official Earth Hour Day website, the event will “bring together millions of individuals, companies, and leaders worldwide to focus on the critical need to combat natural loss and climate change.”

With data pointing to a relationship between environmental degradation and increased instances of infectious illness outbreaks such as COVID-19, Earth Hour 2021 will bring people together online to speak up for nature.”

Earth Hour is observed for the following reasons:

The event began as a symbolic lights-out ceremony in Sydney. People across 180 nations and territories switch out their lights to show their appreciation for our planet. Since 2007, people have observed Earth Hour, and millions of people worldwide have participated in the worldwide event.
Turning off the electricity for an hour helps to reduce carbon footprints while also saving energy. Last year, numerous prominent sites, including the Eiffel Tower, switched out their lights to support the event.
