In order to draw attention to the problem of climate change all over the world, as a sign of indifference to the future of the planet, the World Wide Fund for Nature WWF annually calls to turn off the light and household appliances for one hour as part of the "Earth Hour" action. The purpose of the action is to pay attention to environmental problems and excessive consumption of natural resources.
In the current year, this traditional action will be held on March 24 from 20:30 to 21:30. This year's campaign theme is Connect2Earth. Odessa also plans to join the action. This day for an hour will be turned off the lighting illuminations and facades of buildings in the city center.

The Earth Hour project was founded by the World Nature Foundation (WWF) in Sydney (Australia) in 2007 and since that time has evolved into a global environmental initiative that connected people from all the continents in a strive for a future in which people will live in harmony with nature.
In 2017, more than 7,000 cities in 187 countries joined the action. The action was supported by the mayors of the cities of Paris, Hong Kong, Rio de Janeiro, famous politicians and cultural figures. More than 50 cities of Ukraine took part in the action
