Earth Hour: Lights Out for the Planet

HALO Coffee is happy to join in on this year’s unique Earth Hour.

By recognising the effects humans have had on the climate crisis, we have proactively worked to combat these issues like deforestation by partnering with The Perfect World Foundation, One Tree Planted and the UK Overseas Territories Conservation. 

So what is Earth Hour? 

Every year on the last Saturday of March (this year it’s March 27th) you can join by switching off your lights for an hour at 8:30 pm local time. This allows us to stand in solidarity for the planet and “has become a catalyst for positive environmental impact, driving major legislative changes by harnessing the power of the people and collective action.”
