Switch Off & Explore: Celebrate Earth Hour with Your Little Trekkers!
Posted by Little Trekkers on 18th Mar 2025
What is Earth Hour?
Every year, millions of people across the world take part in Earth Hour by switching off their lights for one hour at 8:30 PM local time. It’s a simple yet powerful way to show our love for the planet and a reminder that even small actions can make a big difference in protecting our environment.|
A Magical Adventure in the Dark!
Earth Hour isn’t just about turning off the lights—it’s an opportunity for a wild and wonderful adventure! Why not make it extra special for your little explorers? Here are some fun ideas to enjoy the darkness while celebrating nature:
Go on a Night time Nature Walk
Grab your torches or lanterns and head outside for a starlit stroll. Listen for owls, spot the moon, and see if you can hear the rustling of night time creatures!
Candlelit Camp-In
Set up a cosy indoor campsite with blankets, fairy lights, and shadow puppets. Share stories about nature and why we need to protect it!
Star Gazing & Moon Watching
With less light pollution, Earth Hour is the perfect time to admire the night sky. How many constellations can you spot?
Eco-Friendly Games & Crafts
Try a board game by candlelight or create nature-inspired crafts, like leaf rubbings or recycled art!
Toasty Treats by Torchlight
Make hot chocolate or roast marshmallows over a campfire (or even your kitchen stove!) and enjoy a warm, planet-friendly moment.
Why Does Earth Hour Matter?
It’s a chance to start conversations with our little trekkers about protecting our forests, oceans, and wildlife. By turning off the lights, we help reduce energy consumption, cut down on pollution, and show that small actions—like recycling, saving water, and exploring nature responsibly—all add up to a brighter future!
