On Saturday 28th March, 8.30–9.30pm, people around the world will be switching off their lights for Earth Hour.
It’s a simple idea – one hour in the dark to show support for our planet. But Earth Hour is also a reminder that the small things we do every day can make a real difference for both the environment and our energy bills.
If you’re taking part this year, here are a few easy ways to keep the impact going:
- Switch appliances off instead of leaving them on standby
- Wash clothes at lower temperatures
- Avoid overfilling the kettle
- Take shorter showers
- Use your tumble dryer less where possible
Even small changes like these can add up to noticeable savings over the year.
