This is done as a symbol of our commitment to the planet we live in. Hundreds of millions of people from all over the world show their support by switching off the lights for one hour on this particular day.

One Hour or More?
However Earth Hour is not merely for saving an hour's electricity; it is a broader concept that helps us to understand that most of our actions have an effect on the world. For example, the energy we use, the food we buy and the water we drink have an impact on our planet. We all depend on our planet and need to look after it not just for an hour a year, but every day.So, when we switch on the lights again, if we stop to think about the things we can change our daily life, it will benefit the planet in many ways.
