Every year we tell ourselves that we will try our best and waste less water, throw away less plastic and never take plastic bags from the supermarket. We promise ourselves to go to bed early and wake up earlier so that we can get more done and not waste electricity with staying up late. But almost no one fulfills those promises as we are too busy with our regular lives. But there is one special hour during the whole year when one can just seat and think about the only home that we have.

Earth Hour truly is a special time when even the lights around the biggest and most famous pieces of architecture are shut off in order to demonstrate the real insignificance of anything man-made when compared to the beauty of nature.

This year Earth Hour starts in every country according to each country’s time zone in 8:30 PM on March 24 – Saturday. That means that tomorrow, when markets are closed and all the trading for the week is done comes the best time to really focus on what is truly important.

If you want to become a part of this program just turn off all of the electrical devices in your house at 8:30 your local time and look up at the sky. We hope that as much lights are turned out that you will be able to see the stars in the middle of any city. That would mean that we can make a difference for our only home.

We encourage our users to also become the part of this significant hour that comes only once a year.
