Brock University will join the global Earth Hour<\/a> initiative by switching off its lights this weekend to conserve energy and raise awareness about climate change.<\/p>\n

As part of the University\u2019s annual recognition of the event, non-essential lighting and fans across campus will be powered down from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 28.<\/p>\n

For the first time, Brock will also track the impact of its Earth Hour energy-saving initiatives by monitoring energy consumption at the building level and using this data to estimate savings during the event period.<\/p>\n

Now in its 20th year, Earth Hour<\/a> is organized by the World Wildlife Fund<\/a> and encourages individuals and institutions to take collective action to reduce energy consumption. By shining a global spotlight on the impact of biodiversity loss and the climate crisis, it aims to inspire people worldwide to consider how small changes can contribute to a more sustainable future.<\/p>\n

Brock will implement the following energy conservation measures on March 28:<\/p>\n
