EARTH HOUR!!

Here's your chance to do your part. Take the pledge with me today: Turn out your lights for Earth Hour on Saturday, March 29 at 8:30 pm and show your commitment to a better future.

This year Earth Hour falls on Saturday 29th March at 8.30 pm. It’s a worldwide event that asks people everywhere to turn off their lights for 60 minutes, to draw attention to our planet and the need to protect it.

WWF created this event eight years ago in 2007 to unite people with a common purpose and raise awareness of the issues facing our planet. Now many countries take part and in 2013, a record breaking 154 were involved including over 10 million people in the UK. Everyone is encouraged to join in, from individuals to schools and businesses as well as landmarks like Big Ben, Times Square and the Eiffel Tower. Our very own Regent Theatre and Victoria Hall in Hanley have already announced they’ll be taking part again this year.

To help celebrate Earth Hour we want to know what you’re up to on Saturday 29th March when Earth Hour starts at 8.30pm. Quite a few plan to enjoy some distraction free time with family by candle light, let us know what you’re up to via our Facebook page or Twitter account or even by commenting below.
