Are you taking part in Earth Hour on Saturday, March 27th at 8:30pm?

Every year thousands of Australians and millions of people around the world raise their voice for nature through the symbolic action of switching off their lights. Earth Hour, developed by the World Wildlife Foundation (WWF), started in 2007 and is the largest environmental movement supported by Australian businesses. 

We proudly stand as part of a community that wants to make the #SwitchforNature and join the movement for a renewables-based future for Australia and the world. You can pledge your support by signing up to make the #SwitchForNature HERE. 

There are many fantastic ways that you can get involved in Earth Hour 2021, in efforts to help ensure that the natural resources and ecosystems that underpin our community are protected and used sustainably.

Earth Hour is also a great chance to get your friends, family, neighbours and colleagues together to become part of a global movement.
