Do your part for Mother Nature (or for your mounting electricity bills) and turn off ALL your lights tonight at 8.30pm local time…

Try your best to turn off your electronic appliances as well.

At its core #EarthHour has always been about the power of the people. During these times, whilst we may not be able to get together in person, we can still symbolically stand in solidarity with millions of others across the world from the comfort of our own homes🏡(1/3) pic.twitter.com/UJLmgCaqzG

Nature is clearly thriving right now whilst the world is on lockdown to curb the spread of Covid-19

This just goes to show how much pollution the world has been facing because of human activity. It’s time to take responsibility and not wait for calamities to care for the planet. Care now.
