Earth hour has become an important staple of environmental awareness and consciousness. Reducing your carbon footprint, both in your personal life and in the workplace is essential in order to create a robust and environmentally safe world for ourselves and for our future generations. Preserving the natural heritage of our planet is what Earth Hour is all about. By switching off our lights for 60 minutes and measuring the reduction in the amount of energy that is being used, we are showing that it is possible to make a difference.
