Unpower Hour is our workday version of Earth Hour; an initiative by the World Wildlife Fund to create awareness about climate change and the power of individuals to create tangible positive impacts on the planet. The annual lights-out event, celebrated by millions of people around the world will take place on Saturday, March 24, from 8:30 to 9:30 PM local time.

Help us break records in attendance again and raise awareness for a sustainable approach at work, school, and home!
