Fun Activities To Do In The Dark For WWF-Singapore's Earth Hour 2022

Earth Hour aims to inspire and mobilise more stakeholders from businesses, grassroot organisations, community groups and individuals in a pivotal moment to create positive environmental change together.

For this year’s Earth Hour on 26th March 2022 at 8.30pm, take the first step by switching off your lights for one hour to show your climate commitment and play a part in shaping a low carbon and climate resilient nation. No action is too small in making a difference in combating climate change.

There are many other ways besides switching off your lights to partake in Earth Hour 2022. Here are 5 fun and free things that you can do alone or with your family and friends!

1. Take a walk on the dark side and make a #DatewithNature

Throughout the day, you can also go on a #DatewithNature and explore your nearest park connectors or even visit national gardens like Gardens by the Bay with its new Kingfisher Wetlands. Capture your nature moments on social media, and tag #DatewithNature and @wwfsg to inspire others!
