To participate, turn-off all lights from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m.
Did you know: if everyone in Okotoks turned their lights off for one hour we could save 13,440 kW h of electricity.  That's enough to power 18 homes in Okotoks for an entire month! And it takes 7.5 tonnes of emissions out of the air - that's about equal to what one home produces for an entire year or a gasoline powered vehicle being driven for 1.6 years!
Let's all do our part to turn off all our lights for earth hour!
Ideas for what to do during Earth Hour:
- Play a board game by candle light
- Go for a walk
- Tell stories around the campfire in your yard
Thank you for participating!
Â
Over the years, the lights-off moment saw entire streets, buildings, landmarks, and city skylines go dark - an unmissable sight that drew public attention to nature loss and the climate crisis.Â
This year - amidst the current global circumstances - we [Earth Hour]Â invite you to raise awareness and create the same unmissable sight online, so that the world sees our planet, the issues we face, and our place within it, in a new light.
