First, turn those lights off
Earth Hour is an annual event organized worldwide in order to raise awareness and encourage a commitment to nature. The event, which is organized by the World Wide Fund For Nature, occurs on the last Saturday of every March. If you’re unfamiliar with how the event is held, it basically goes like this: Everyone around the world is encouraged to turn off their lights from 8:30pm to 9:30pm tonight. Additionally, there are a whole lotta worldwide events you can attend, many of which are virtual – click HERE to see your options.
