The World Wildlife Fund for Nature is organising the 13th annual ‘Earth Hour’ on Saturday from 8:30 to 9:30 pm local time. The worldwide event encourages individuals to turn off non-essential lights for one hour as a symbol of their commitment to the planet. Supporting the #Bee4ThePlanet initiative, actor Amitabh Bachchan tweeted, “I did last yearâŚI will this year too!!”
Our connection to Earth and nature is undeniable: our planet’s gain is everyoneâs gain. Nature not only provides us with all the things we need to live – from the air we breathe to the water we drink, and from the shelter we need to the economy we rely on – but also makes our lives better.
However, its growing loss puts this all under threat. This Earth Hour, join millions around the world to turn off the lights and speak up about why nature matters. #Connect2Earth
