Tonight March 26 at 8.30 p.m., we hope the residents of Drogheda will join us in observing Earth Hour. between 8:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. by turning off all of their lights, or as many lights as you can for 1 hour!
The World Wildlife Fund has created the global initiative known as Earth Hour. (WWF). The yearly event promotes people, towns, and organizations to switch off non-essential electric lights for an hour on the last Saturday in March from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. as a show of support for the environment.
