The annual global “lights out” event, the Earth Hour, will take place at 8:30pm on Saturday, 22^nd March this year. Same as previous years, EdUHK will continue to participate in the Earth Hour again by turning off all non-essential external lights for one hour, including those in the Emergency Vehicle Access, gardens and planters on Podium, main corridor on G/F and external areas in student halls/quarters and Senior Staff Quarters on our Tai Po Campus. For the indoor lights, we would like to ask for support from

• all staff members by switching off office lights and non-essential equipment before leaving the office on the Friday before Earth Hour (i.e. 21^st March); and
• all student residents of student halls/quarters by switching off the lights in your rooms/units from 8:30pm to 9:30pm on 22^nd March.

We would like to invite all of you to participate in the Earth Hour by switching off non-essential lights and appliances at home during the event and changing the way we live. Be part of a powerful global movement spanning 190 countries as we unite to shape a brighter future for our planet. We would much appreciate if you could also pass this message on to your families and friends. Don’t forget to show your support by signing the pledge online at https://earthhour.wwf.org.hk/en/pledge-for-personal.

Furthermore, WWF will kickstart the journey of Earth Hour by a wide array of interactive activities held at Island House Conservation Studies Centre on 8^th and 9^th March. Also, they will organize the Earth Hour Carnival at Ocean Terminal Deck at Harbour City on 22^nd March. A series of fun and inspirational activities awaits, with interactive booths where you can learn about preserving the planet and how to spend the “light-off” moment in meaningful ways that suit your lifestyle.

Together, let's create a nature-positive world. Your hour can change our future.
