North Ayrshire Council is urging residents to pledge their support for Earth Hour, which takes place this year on Saturday, March 30 from 8.30-9.30pm.
Each year, millions of people around the world switch off their lights for an hour, make an environmental pledge online or organise an event – at home, in their community or in their towns or cities – to show they care about the future of our planet.
Having been awarded Super Local Authority status by organisers WWF, North Ayrshire Council will themselves get behind the event by hosting their own Earth ‘Lunch’ Hour on Friday, March 29, where staff will be turning out all non-essential lights and equipment in support of the cause.
