Earth Hour Celebration at Swaminarayan Akshardham
In its fifth year of participation, Swaminarayan Akshardham continues to support environmental projects that promote the awareness and education of a cleaner and safer planet.
Around the world, Earth Hour is embraced by the global community, transcending race, culture, age and economics as individuals take leadership in their communities in the pursuit of a cleaner and safer planet.
The purpose of celebrating ‘The Earth Hour’ is to save electrical power, and to take a stand against climate change. The purpose was to stop the degradation of the earth’s natural environment and build a future where people live in harmony by reducing light pollution and the carbon footprint.
