Spread the message
Write to all utilities, market associations, schools and other stakeholders informing them about your support to Earth Hour and asking them to spread the message through their mediums.

Switch On to Renewable Energy
Contribute towards achieving India’s Renewable Energy targets!

• Adopt policies favorable to production of Renewable Energy to meet the power demands of your city.
• Direct all government owned buildings and city monuments to adopt renewable energy solutions.
• Adopt Renewable Energy solutions and interlink renewable energy technologies such as waste to energy for all city infrastructures such as solar street lighting.
• Secure finances through the central government to implement renewable energy projects in your city. Alternately, you can also secure international funding by generating carbon credits through implementing Renewable Energy projects.

Light up a monument in your city using Renewable Energy
You can send out a strong message of your commitment towards building a sustainable future for your citizens, by organizing an Earth Hour event around an iconic monument in your city, using only Renewable Energy to power and light the venue. As a symbolic show of support, light up part of the monument after the switch off, using Renewable Energy powered products such as solar lanterns, and use this public event to announce a commitment towards adopting measures which would benefit the environment.
