With lights working overtime in our homes due to self isolation and social distancing, Earth Hour couldn’t have come at a better time. This Saturday everyone is encouraged to turn off all non-essential lights from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. to call attention to climate change. Earth Hour first began in 2007 and is now one of the world’s largest grassroots movements for the environment, engaging millions of people in more than 180 countries and territories. With limited participation options due to the novel Coronavirus, the Earth Hour website has put out some ideas including playing board games or reading a book in candle-light, challenging your artistic side with a candle-lit paint night, holding an indoor scavenger hunt in the dark, and so much more.
