Earth Hour Activities
Stop Thinking. Start Acting.
The countdown to 2030 has begun, and every second counts. Our latest "State of Hong Kong Biodiversity 2025" report reveals a sobering reality: over 25% of our assessed local species are currently at risk of extinction.
This year, Earth Hour is more than a symbolic 60-minute switch-off. It is a launchpad for a lifetime of sustainable living. We must act now to carry this momentum forward. Join us throughout March for immersive activities designed to reconnect you with nature and empower you to protect these biodiversity hotspots as well as our home planet.
Your journey to a nature-positive Hong Kong starts today. Don't just watch the clock—together, let’s shape our future.

Participating Unit: St. James’ Creation
As the creative hub for ceramic art in Hong Kong, St. James’ Creation (SJC) has actively participated in more than 100 local and overseas exhibitions for over 25 years, connecting the public through community art, bringing inspiration and empowerment.
In order to raise the public awareness of Earth Hour, two ceramists from SJC, Lau Sze O and Hung Ming Him, have employed hand-building techniques to create three sets of animal sculptures inspired from four remarkable species. During the creating process, Sze O emphasised the patterned carapace of the Golden Coin Turtle’s figurine, while Ming Him was good at carving the intricate details, such as the curling feathers of Dalmatian Pelican. Both of them have also co-created a sculpture featuring Chevron Butterflyfish and Staghorn Corals together, which helps the public to understand more about the nature.
In addition, the art creation from the ’MusiCLAY’ project, which blends ceramic art with music, will also be showcased at the Earth Hour Carnival. It allows participants to engage with art in a dynamically interactive way, thereby reawaken and activate every sense through such unprecedented ’Play Music, Play Clay’ experience.
Participating Unit: Repair Café HK
Through the community repair services and public education, Repair Café HK encourages the idea of fixing defective items instead of just throwing them away. It is also a good way to promote sustainable lifestyle.
A pop-up repair station can be found in Earth Hour Carnival on 22 March, where the participants can experience the repairing process with skilled volunteers, give the old items a second life and establish a special connection with the defective products.
Let's rethink our lifestyle together, reduce waste and make restoration an option in life.
