This year, I invite you to be one of them. The need is urgent. Our climate is collapsing. Last year was the hottest ever. Earth Hour is a global show of solidarity for taking a different path. It demonstrates the power each of us has in the fight for our future. So please, join in on March 23rd at 8:30 p.m. local time. Together, let’s turn off the lights and turn the world towards a brighter future for us all.
