What to turn off for Earth Hour

Posted on March 25, 2023March 25, 2023 by Petra

Earth Hour is an annual event that encourages people around the world to turn off their lights for one hour as a symbol of their commitment to protecting the planet. This year, Earth Hour will take place on March 26th at 8:30 pm local time. While turning off your lights is the most well-known way to participate, there are many other things you can turn off during that time.

Here are some ideas:

  1. Electronics: In addition to turning off your lights, turn off any non-essential electronics such as TVs, computers, and game consoles. These devices consume energy even when they’re not in use.
  2. Water: Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth or shaving. You can also limit your water usage by taking shorter showers or not running the dishwasher or washing machine during Earth Hour.
  3. Heating and Cooling: Adjust your thermostat to reduce energy usage during Earth Hour. You can also turn off fans and heaters in unused rooms.
  4. Appliances: Unplug any appliances that are not in use, such as toasters, coffee makers, and phone chargers. These appliances continue to use energy even when they’re not turned on.
  5. Outdoor Lights: If you have outdoor lights, turn them off during Earth Hour. This includes porch lights, floodlights, and decorative lights.
  6. Cars: If possible, avoid driving during Earth Hour. You can also turn off your car’s engine if you need to stop for a short period of time.

In conclusion, Earth Hour is a great opportunity to show your commitment to protecting the planet. While turning off your lights is the most well-known way to participate, there are many other things you can turn off during this time. By reducing your energy consumption during Earth Hour, you’re not only helping the planet but also saving money on your energy bills. So, take some time to consider what else you can turn off during Earth Hour and do your part to make a difference.
