Earth Hour Festival

Tackling climate change starts from young, so the WWF Earth Hour Festival on March 23 has lined up activities for children.

Organised by World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Singapore, the indoor and outdoor experiences take place from 11am to 10pm at Wisma Atria mall in Orchard Road.

At various timings, kids can interact with Wobi from Mediacorp’s animated series Lil Wild (2020 to 2023) and ask questions about the environment.

They can also take photos with the WWF Panda mascot, as well as Elmo, Abby Cadabby and Cookie Monster from Sesame Street. The educational show (1969 to present) often reminds its young viewers to care for the earth.

Then, check out displays and ideas by Henry Park Primary School pupils on reducing plastic waste. They will also give out eco-enzymes, a multipurpose cleaning liquid derived from organic waste.

Stay on to witness the Switch Off at 8.30pm, when the Orchard Road shopping district is slated to go dark for an hour.
