3 Tips To Switch Off, Relax, and Enjoy Earth Hour This Weekend!

As we approach Earth Hour 2023 this coming Saturday, 25 March, you may be wondering how to make the most of this annual event. Here are some tips that will help you switch off, relax, and enjoy this unique experience.

1. Plan Ahead

Start by deciding how you want to spend your Earth Hour. Whether you’re spending it with friends, family, or alone, plan ahead to make the most of your time. Turn off your devices and choose activities that don’t require electricity. You could play board games, read a book, or have a candlelit dinner.

2. Light Candles

Lighting candles is a great way to create a cosy and relaxing atmosphere. You can use scented candles to create a calming ambience or just enjoy the soft light of plain candles. Make sure to use candles made from natural materials, such as soy wax or beeswax, to reduce the environmental impact.

3. Go Outside

If weather permits, take a walk outside and enjoy the natural beauty of the world. Enjoy the fresh air, the sounds of nature, and the stars in the sky. This also aligns with taking #TimeOutForNature, the theme of this year’s Earth Hour. If you’re interested in supporting the social media campaign, you can share photos and videos of yourself enjoying nature on social media, include the #TimeOutForNature and #EarthHour hashtags, and tag @wwfaustralia and @earthhour_australia on your post!
