\"Earth<\/p>\n

While probably not high up on many Australians’ to-do lists at the moment, the nature of Earth Hour means it can go ahead this year – but there will be some changes.<\/p>\n

Earth Hour is an annual event occurring in late March when participants turn out their lights for an hour. The event is an action designed to draw attention to the urgent need for real action on climate change and biodiversity loss, and spark related global conversations.<\/p>\n

Observed globally, the first Earth Hour event was held on 31 March 2007 in collaboration with WWF. It originally targeted those in Sydney, but the idea quickly spread. According to the Earth Hour web site, more than 7,000 cities in 180+ countries now take part. As well as participants turning off lights in their homes, some local governments turn off lights on landmarks and other facilities, while participating businesses switch off non-essential lighting in their facilities.<\/p>\n

This year’s event is occurring on Saturday evening here in Australia (March 28), starting at 8.30pm.<\/p>\n

“2020 is a critical year for us and for the planet. It\u2019s a year of important global meetings on environmental policy,” states the Earth Hour web site. “These meetings are our opportunity to persuade global leaders to make decisions that will benefit our planet\u2019s future, and that we have to protect and restore nature before it\u2019s too late.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The organisers note Earth Hour isn’t an energy or carbon reduction exercise, but simply a symbolic action.<\/span><\/p>\n

COVID-19 Measures For Earth Hour<\/h2>\n

As well as the symbolic switching off of lights, Earth Hour has previously involved community events where large numbers of people gather; which isn’t a good idea or will be permitted during these troubled times.<\/p>\n

“In light of the coronavirus crisis, WWF-Australia is committed to doing everything we can to flatten the curve and slow the spread of COVID-19. But social distancing doesn\u2019t mean losing social connection. So we\u2019ve decided to celebrate Earth Hour a little differently this year and take it unplugged and online.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Some may feel shifting their attention from one crisis to another might not sound like a particularly good way to spend a Saturday night, but it doesn’t seem like this year’s event will be a “gloom and doom” affair. Earth Hour organisers are promising a great line-up of music, comedy and special guests.<\/p>\n

And everyone could do with a good laugh around about now – if you’re interested in learning more head out to the Earth Hour website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Now is not the time to pause our collective work, but a time to respond more creatively, work more collaboratively, and listen and adapt more effectively.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
