Earth Hour is a global moment of solidarity for climate action.

Kilteevan Tidy Towns invites you to respect Earth Hour 2020 ,8.30pm - 9.30pm this evening, by turning off all lights and reflecting on what we can do to help Mother Nature and Planet Earth.

Lights will go out in Áras an Uachtaráin. As they have done in previous years, President Michael D. Higgins and Sabina have asked that all non-essential lights in Áras an Uachtaráin will be switched off from 8.30 pm to 9.30 pm, to mark “Earth Hour.”

More than 350 of the world’s most iconic landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, the Empire State Building and the Sydney Opera House – and millions of homes around the world - prepare to switch off their lights.

Speaking about the initiative, President Michael D. Higgins said:

“Sabina and I have asked that the lights at Áras an Uachtaráin be switched off for ‘Earth Hour’, to highlight the need for urgent action on climate change.

We are currently experiencing dark times, as the international community is battling to contain and defeat the COVID-19 virus. The global pandemic has brought hardship for many, and it has shone a light on the great extent to which our lives, and our vulnerabilities, are intertwined.

Like other global challenges that have left a scar on our humanity, the fight against the coronavirus requires international solidarity and coordinated action. Earth Hour is a symbolic moment reminding us of mankind’s ability to affect real change, and inviting all people of our planet to consider the impact we are having on Mother Nature.

Let us use the darkness of Earth Hour 2020 to reflect on the ways we can bring an end to our current crisis, and put in place the types of policies and practices, at every level, that can bring about a better use of the wondrous beauty of our shared, but vulnerable, planet.”

In the midst of all the chaos Mother Nature continues to work her magic in Kilteevan National School garden.

Today, every inch of this small garden is bursting with life and colour. What a joy to behold!

By growing fruit and vegetables  these young people have an appreciation and understanding of food which will help them to live healthier and more sustainable lives.

By maintaining this high level of biodiversity all around us, the school is helping to keep the environment healthy and fit for all of us.

This great work is having an influence on the community. You are an inspiration to us all.
