Today on World Water Day 2025, Ashwin Yardi, CEO, Capgemini took LinkedIn and shared that did you know that the first Earth Hour in 2007 saw 2.2 million homes and 2,000 businesses in Sydney switch off their lights?
What started as a simple act of solidarity has grown into the world’s largest environmental movement, engaging millions across over 190 countries.
Earth Hour and World Water Day: A Powerful Convergence
Initiated by the World Wide Fund (WWF), Earth Hour is a powerful reminder of our collective responsibility to protect the planet.
This year, it coincides with World Water Day—an opportunity to amplify our message of conservation on an even larger scale.
As we switch off non-essential lights for an hour, let’s also reflect on how we can safeguard our natural resources beyond just this moment.
