Earth Hour
Start Date: 25/03/2017
End Date: 25/03/2017
Venue: Everywhere!
Every year in Moray we make our commitment to Earth Hour by switching off lights on a local landmark. This year we're switching off the lights on the Landshut Bridge in Elgin.
Earth Hour is a global movement, which brings millions together across the world to call for greater action. Over 7,000 cities and towns worldwide participate by turning off the lights of homes, businesses and landmarks for one hour. From changing individual behavior, to legislation, Earth Hour has achieved massive environmental awareness.
Last year a record 178 countries took part – a number that rises every year. From the Sydney Opera House and the Eiffel Tower to Buckingham Palace and Edinburgh Castle, cities, towns and communities like ours across the world switch out their lights and come together for an hour, to join a global show of support for action on climate.
Celebrate your commitment to the planet with your friends, family, community or at work - in your own way. A simple event can be just turning off all non-essential lights from 8.30 - 9.30 pm. To celebrate, you can have a candlelit dinner, talk to your neighbours, stargaze, play board games, have a concert, create or join a community event.
