Go live on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or any other streaming platform (e.g. Zoom or Twitch)! Here are some things you can do on the live stream:

• Speak about nature loss and climate change - the two biggest challenges of our time - and share with your viewers what they can do to help an learn more
• Share tips on how to be more sustainable, catered to your audience (for example, if you are a food influencer or celebrity chef, why not do a live stream focused on sustainable recipes! Or if you are a travel blogger, share tips on how to travel more sustainably)
• Do a tour of your house and point out the ways you've been able to live more sustainably 
• Hold a live DIY (do-it-yourself) tutorial of simple household "hacks" and tricks to being more sustainable
• Hold a Q&A (question-and-answer) where you let your followers ask questions in the comments related to all things nature, the environment, or Earth Hour!
• Host a guided meditation or guided workout in the dark!
• If you're a singer or musician, you can perform live for your fans! Bonus points if you have nature-related songs or lyrics
• If you are on Instagram, you can also consider doing a joint live stream with a friend, partner, or fellow collaborator! Here's how. 
  
  

If you are unable to do a live stream, you can also use existing "pre-recorded" content and videos to schedule a YouTube Premiere or Facebook Watch Party that your fans and followers can watch together on the Hour. Here are some things you can consider scheduling a Premiere or Watch Party for:  

• Any pre-recorded videos in the above section (sustainability tips, house tour, DIY, Q&A, guided meditation, etc)
• Pre-recorded concerts, shows, or performances in the dark
• A nature documentary (provided you own the rights to post the video)

• In light of COVID-19, we understand that on-the-ground events may or may not be appropriate in your country. The well-being of our supporters is our top priority and we recommend following national health guidelines on hosting public events and making a decision based on the advice provided by your Ministry of Health. If you do decide to host an on-ground Earth Hour event, please ensure all your attendees wear a mask, follow local guidelines, and maintain social distancing at all times. 

• Host your event in an accessible location that is walkable from most public transport to encourage maximum turnout and discourage event-goers from driving to the event. 
• If catering your event, try to use sustainable or local food sources as much as possible to minimize waste and carbon footprint.
• Minimize waste by encouraging event-goers to bring their own containers and cutlery when organizing events that provide food OR provide edible plates and cutleries instead of disposables 
• Use paper bags instead of plastic bags, or opt for no bags at all! 
• Provide recycling bins at your events, and encourage your participants to recycle their waste
• Provide compost bins for food waste 
• Rent/Reuse set-up equipment and decorations instead of buying new ones
• Go paperless or reduce unnecessary paper usage as much as possible
