The 17th Earth Hour is being held not only for taking the iconic switch-off lights events but spread the message of taking collective action for the planet for a healthy future.
“Every year, we countdown together across the globe to celebrate Earth Hour and take one iconic action: switch off the lights. But the hour is so much more than that. It is a symbol of unity. It is the power of collective action for our future and the planet,” WWF India said in a statement.
Meanwhile, WWF India also gave suggestions on the ways we can follow to bring a change in Earth positively.
“The year is 2023, and the time is NOW when we take steps for the earth! And let’s begin with giving one hour to do something positive for the planet.Wondering how? Start picking up litter thrown around, and replace plastic bags with cotton bags. Or get your friends together to plant trees. Let’s be creative and make a positive change for mother earth,” it added.
