How to Participate in Earth Hour 2022?

It is on the last Saturday of March every year at 8:30 PM local time that millions of people across the globe unite together to demonstrate their support for our planet and to raise awareness of nature loss and climate change, the two largest dangers to our common planet.

This is not simply a one-hour observance but a long-term effort to improve both our own lives and our planet's. Furthermore, it's more than just a show of support, but it actually acts as a catalyst for change by leveraging the collective influence of the people.

Earth Hour 2022

As a result of humankind's unsustainable demands on the natural environment, the climate is deteriorating, habitats are disappearing, and animal populations are waning. To make a difference during Earth Hour, you may act for people and the planet by committing to living more sustainably and encouraging global leaders to do the same.

There will be a definite goal in mind for Earth Hour 2022 when it is established with the "Shape Our Future" theme.

Everyone and our world are in for a big year this year. To #ShapeOurFuture, we must raise awareness about today's most urgent challenges and encourage action on the part of future generations.

It is one of the greatest environmental movements in the world that is fueled by the power of people. This year, we continue to adjust our lives to the effects of COVID-19 and the horrific events of the preceding two years. It will usher in a new age where people and the environment are first placed.

2. Join hundreds of millions of people in protecting nature and switch to a better world.

There are various activities in the community that you can join with to preserve our planet earth and protect it from climate crisis:

• Listen to the stories of individuals like you. Across the world, some people are helping to create a better future for both people and the environment.

3. Encourage people to be active.

In order to care for our world or others, we must first care for our own well-being. Earth Hour is upon us, so get active and sweat it out! It will benefit both your health and the environment. Some of the fun ways to be active are:

• Make the most of the night by going for a jog or a bike ride!
• Dance in the dark to your favorite tunes.
• While you're stretching, try some candle-lit yoga or a guided meditation track!
• Bring gloves, tongs, and a biodegradable garbage bag with you when you visit your nearby park, beach, nature path, or other outdoor location, and clean up any trash you see! Although your hands might get a bit dirty, at least you were able to join millions in a catalyst movement to preserve our environment.
• Invite your kids to be active by letting them pick up the litter around your home. The one who cleans up the most rubbish gets a special award! Make it exciting!

This global challenge to have a sustainable future is not just a responsibility for our world leaders. Working together, encouraging each other, and creating a sense of oneness are the only ways to overcome our world's difficulties. Joining Earth Hour 2022 is an urgent action in shaping the future.
