The event encourages individuals to turn off all lights and electrical appliances at their homes and offices for an hour to promote awareness of climate change challenges and energy conservation. Now in its 17th year, Earth Hour has evolved from a simple lights-out event to a powerful catalyst for positive environmental change. The following year, the event gained international recognition and was celebrated on March 29, 2008, with millions of people from around the world participating. The inaugural observance was held on March 31, 2007, at 7:30 pm local time in Sydney, where people were encouraged to turn off their lights for an hour. The event has become a platform for driving major legislative changes through the collective power of people and their actions. By coming together in this way, we can raise awareness of the urgent need for action to protect our planet's future.
