EARTH HOUR 2022

Earth hour is an International Movement

Started by WWF

Which is now supported by countries and organisations

Annually, the movement has participation

From 190+ nations

It is observed to create awareness

About Climate Change

And to reduce carbon emissions

Did you know ?

On this day, lights are switched off

At monuments, buildings and houses across the world

Like India Gate, Empire State Building

Sydney Opera House and even The Colosseum

Every year, on a different date

Is the observation of The “Earth Hour “

But, it being celebrated

On the last Saturday of March

Is totally clear

You honour the hour

By switching off of all

Non essential lights

So, that against global warming

We can win the fight

On this day, 26th March 2022

My family and I

Switched off all the sources of extra energy

That is how on Earth Hour

We expressed “OUR SOLIDARITY “

Earth Hour serves us humans

As a continuous reminder

To respect nature

And Respect and Save Earth

Is clarion call for not using lights

Which are non-essential

It is also focused on

Ecological Footprint Reduction

Earth hour helps us adapt

To eco-friendly ways

It symbolises that we should

Adopt to a more sustainable living

Governments and scientists should

develop technology and growth models

Which are sustainable and good for the environment

Should be cheap and available to all so that many can use

We can raise awareness about this day

And share the importance at-

schools, colleges and workplaces

The lesser of the light we waste and use

Can help many people who are poor

Taking light price from a high cost to an affordable/free price

Saves a lot of energy

A nice way to tackle poverty

The 4R’s are the soul and the heart

For having an “environment positive “ world

For solar, nuclear, hydro and wind power

It is an integral part

A solar panel is very effective

It produces about 170-350 per hour

A weak solar panel can make

1.7 Kilowatts in just ten hours

We can re-innovate solar panels

Making them cover less space

So that more an fit on our roof

generating even more energy

Not a try to change people

But a hope to change their mentality

Every bit matters

So, ACT NOW

Let’s save Earth

It does not matter HOW !!

Just one hour every year is not enough

Every day we should switch of lights for an hour

And show our support in the transition

Adapting to modern ways/non-polluting devices

Alone, we can do so little

Together, we can do so much

Thus, lets UNITE

And take a stand to do what’s right

To Protect and Nurture HER
