2. When is it held this year?

3. Why do you think people are organising this event?

4. What will everyone be doing during Earth Hour?

5. What other activities can you organise with your family and friends during Earth Hour?

7. Could you propose some solutions to ONE of the problems which you have highlighted?Wishing you a pleasant reflection.

I hope to read your reflection soon. Mr Ng
