We're all familiar with the annual Earth Hour event during which participants choose to turn off all non-essential lights for an hour
As a global environmental initiative by WWF, Earth Hour asks everyone to take personal accountability for their impact on the planet and make behavioural changes to facilitate a sustainable lifestyle, to help minimise the adverse impacts of climate change.

As an extension of this, WWF-Malaysia is once again organising the Earth Hour Night Walk in an effort to build public support for environmentally sustainable action and raise funds for their conservation efforts
