Earth Hour Teaching Resources for Schools

  • Earth Hour Teaching Resources

    Make the time – whether it’s 60 seconds, 60 minutes or beyond the hour – to reflect on the incredible benefits nature provides us and create a better future for people and our planet. 

Why take part?

We need to take time out for our planet. Our environment continues to degrade at an alarming pace. Eastern Australia is among the 24 global deforestation fronts, and we are the only developed nation on this list.

An estimated 200,000 trees are bulldozed in Australia every day. That’s 8,000 trees every hour.

How can schools get involved?
