Earth Hour 2024 in Treptow-Köpenick: Lights out for climate protection
The district office Treptow-Köpenick will also take part in the global Earth Hour this year, which will take place on March 23, 2024 from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. During this hour, the lights on the Rathäusern Treptow and Köpenick are switched off to send a strong signal for climate protection and the importance of a sustainable lifestyle. The Earth Hour is a symbolic action that was launched by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) in order to raise awareness of climate change and to clarify that everyone can make a contribution.
The Earth Hour has been taking place every year since 2007 and has developed into a significant movement to raise awareness of environmental problems. By simply switching off the lights for an hour, an effective sign can be set to emphasize the urgency of climate protection.
In Treptow-Köpenick, the citizens are called to participate in this important campaign by also switching off their lights for an hour at home. This is an easy way to show solidarity with global efforts to protect our planet and to take responsibility.
