Earth Hour is set to take place on the 26th of March 2022, so the Two Oceans Aquarium Education Foundation is hosting a massive beach cleanup and picnic to celebrate.
Cape Town, South Africa (25 February 2022) – What started as a symbolic lights-out event in Sydney in 2007 has become a global event that takes place every year in March. Earth Hour is now the world’s most significant movement for the environment, and every year, it inspires millions of people to take action to save the planet and nature.
The designated Earth Hour is 20:30, and it happens at that moment in each time zone. So whether you are in South Africa, London, Sydney or New York, you will celebrate Earth Hour at exactly 20:30.
This year, the Two Oceans Aquarium Education Foundation is hosting a fun activity leading up to Earth Hour on the 26th of March 2022.
They invite Capetonians to join their Trash Bash from 17:00 to 19:00, ending the event with a beach picnic.
“After the beach cleanup we’d love our ocean-loving community to hang around in anticipation of Earth Hour for a picnic. Please bring your own picnic blanket and snacks – we’d like to encourage everyone to choose sustainable packaging so that we can enjoy the Sunset Beach sunset without contributing to the litter problem.”
During the hour, you can connect with friends and family by talking about your environmental concerns. Discuss ways to make a change, and after the hour is up, commit to making as many small changes as possible.
