Wondering what to do to mark the occasion? Here are some suggestions on how to spend your Earth Hour:
- Host a party. Earth Hour is a great chance to spend time with your family, friends and neighbours. You can host a gathering in the dark. Encourage guests to bring “no cook” foods and eat dinner by candlelight. Pull out your favourite board games or have a poker tournament. Kids will love a chance to play with glow sticks or glow-in-the-dark stickers.
- Play hockey. Encourage your local community centre to hold a dimly-lit hockey game during Earth Hour. Hot chocolate in reusable mugs will keep players and their cheering sections warm.
- Plan a community event. Whether it’s a “ghost” walk around a local historical centre, a block party featuring acoustic music or a guided stargazing tour, show your creativity and bring your friends together to enjoy the night.
- Ask local businesses to join. Maybe your favourite restaurant could hold a candlelit dinner or your local yoga studio could host a yoga-in-the-dark event. Many businesses want to show their support for the Earth.
