On Earth Hour, millions of people around the world switch off the lights to shine a light on the plight of our planet.
This year, I invite you to be one of them.
The need is urgent.
Our climate is collapsing. Last year was the hottest ever.
Earth Hour is a global show of solidarity for taking a different path.
It demonstrates the power each of us has in the fight for our future.
So please, join in on March 23rd at 8:30 p.m. local time.
Together, let’s turn off the lights and turn the world towards a brighter future for us all.
