Happy Earth Hour Day! Today, March 23rd, from 8:30 PM - 9:30 PM, please join us in turning off the lights in your house/apartment to help conserve energy. Earth Hour Day is an annual event by the World Wildlife Fund that promotes conservation and hopes to bring awareness to climate change. For those up to the task, the WWF also asks that you find a way to help the Earth during this hour. This could include picking up trash on the street or in a park, planting a tree or other plants in your backyard, or start a compost bin in your home. Learn more about Earth Hour Day: buff.ly/3virLwu
