Earth Hour is more than just an hour for Earth. It is a movement for our own future, for the benefit of people and planet. It has become a catalyst for positive environmental impacts, driving legislative changes by harnessing the power of collective action. This year, Earth Hour aims to increase awareness and spark global conversations about protecting nature, tackling the climate crisis and working together to shape a brighter future.
Over the years, we have switched off lights at home, turning entire streets, buildings and city skylines dark to drive awareness on biodiversity loss and the climate crisis. With Earth Hour just five days away, if you are wondering how you can do more, we have some ideas for you.
Switch off the lights for an hour
Switch off lights on 26 March, at 8:30pm. Most of our YTL offices and buildings including Menara YTL, Wisma Atria and KLPAC will be switching off their non-essential lights whilst YTL Hotels such as Melbourne Marriott Hotel, Sydney Harbour Marriott Hotel and Niseko Village will be switching off their lights and setting tea light candles in public places to promote awareness and reduce energy consumption.
