Every year, the St Albert’s Primary community takes part in WWF’s Earth Hour. This year is no exception and the Eco Committee is asking you to take part this year as well, for one hour starting at 8.30 p.m. this Saturday 27th March.

Earth Hour is one of the world’s largest movements for our planet. For one hour each year, millions of people from all over the world take part and switch off their lights at home to show they care about the future of our planet. Joining Earth Hour’s switch off reminds us that even small actions can make a big difference. When we make changes in our own lives, and when we share that with others, we also inspire the people around us to change – and we help grow a movement that businesses and governments can’t ignore.

2021 is the start of an important decade for climate and nature action. This year, leaders from across the world will make decisions that will impact our futures. By 2030, nature and wildlife could be recovering all around us. We could have green jobs, cleaner air and a healthier future for the next generation. Will you send them a message that you care about nature and the future of our planet by taking part this year?

Visit https://www.wwf.org.uk/earth-hour to find out everything you need to know to take part. There you will find ideas for things to do during Earth Hour that don’t involve using your lights e.g. having a candlelit dinner, doing some stargazing or going for a walk in nature. You can even calculate your own carbon footprint on the website and join online events or download a Spotify playlist to relax with.

If you do decide to take part this year, please take a photo of what your family do during Earth Hour and upload it to your child’s class page on Teams, so we can add the pictures to our Eco Notice Board in school. Thank you.
