Bust Climate Myths This Earth Hour with our BRAND NEW Challenge!

Are you joining in to take part in Earth Hour today? That’s when people across the world turn off their lights for an hour to raise awareness about climate change, taking some time to reflect on how our everyday choices affect the planet.

The Myth-busters Challenge

This Earth Hour, we’re asking you to do something a little different when you turn down the lights: help us turn up the truth on climate change and join the brand-new Myth-busters Challenge!

Climate change is surrounded by myths. These confusing ideas make it harder to understand what causes climate change, and more importantly, what we can do to help. Myth-busters is all about busting those pesky myths and proving that knowledge + action = power!

Is it true that electronics don’t use energy when they’re turned off?
Nope.
Does one cold winter mean global warming isn’t real?
Not at all.
Can food scraps just go in the garbage?
Definitely not!
