What is Earth Hour?

Earth Hour is the world’s biggest movement to protect our planet where hundreds of millions of people around the world mark Earth Hour by going ‘lights out’ for 60 minutes at 8.30pm – a symbolic show of solidarity, so we thought . . . why not do it camping and truly connecting to the environment!

#Connect2Earth is a challenge part of earth hour to switch off during Earth Hour and reconnect with the natural environment.

From the national treasure of the Great Barrier Reef, to our iconic koala in the forest, to the much-loved penguins of Antarctica – our unique biodiversity, meaning the wildlife and the natural places we love, face a perilous future if we don’t step up to protect our planet (and our home!) from the impacts of climate change.

So this Earth Hour, it’s easy for all Australians to show they care: just switch off and #Connect2Earth and you will amplify the national conversation on climate change.
