This Earth Hour Show your environmental commitment and light Honey Candles® 100% Pure Beeswax.
Earth Hour is Saturday March 31st 8:30pm
What is Earth Hour?
The first Earth Hour took place in Sydney Australia in 2007. It has now become a global phenomenon. The purpose of Earth Hour is to draw attention to climate change and unite in darkness for the future our planet (if only for an hour!) Each year Earth Hour gets bigger and over 128 Countries participate. It is quite a sight to see monuments such as the CN Tower and Golden Gate Bridge with their lights off. Toronto looks quite different in the above photo.
What Can you do?
You can organize a group event with your business, school or other local groups or participate in Earth Hour at home. All you have to do is turn out your lights! If you can, burn 100% pure beeswax candles instead of paraffin candles during Earth Hour. Paraffin is a by-product of fossil fuel production (basically the sludge from the bottom of an barrel of oil, the fumes are like inhaling exhaust fumes from a car) and is also very toxic to your health. Avoid fragranced and artificially colored candles since they are known to cause allergies and are considered hazardous neurotoxins. Opt for all natural 100% pure beeswax candles instead...
