BattiBandh for One Hour, One Earth - Earth Hour 2015

Earth Hour is a worldwide movement for the planet, initiated by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) in 2007. The event is held worldwide annually, encouraging individuals, communities, households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights for one hour, from 8:30 to 9:30 PM on the last Saturday in March, as a symbol for their commitment to the planet. This year, Earth Hour is on March 28th, 2015.

We urges you to participate in the cause by switching off all non-essential appliances for an hour, from 8 30 PM to 9 30 PM this Saturday. Let’s go #BattiBandh for One Hour, One Earth!
