#EarthHour2EarthDay - A 25-Day Climate Action Challenge!

Two very important dates are coming up on our calendar in March and April. Earth Hour will be observed globally on 26 March 2022 and Earth Day will be observed on 22 April 2022.

APAY will launch a 25-Day Climate Action Challenge beginning from Earth Hour to Earth Day. The objective is to raise awareness on global warming and how we as individuals can commit and contribute towards averting this climate crisis through our small personal acts of mitigation and adaptation on climate change. As they say... tiny drops of water make a mighty ocean. It is our hope that these daily creative challenges can help us change our personal actions and habits. The sustained 25-day challenge can spark small changes towards a responsible low-carbon lifestyle. As young people we can make significant contributions towards the goal of capping global warming at 1.5C above the preindustrial levels.

Here's how the campaign will go...
For 25 days, from Earth Hour 26 March 2022 till Earth Day 22 April 2022, we would like to invite you to commit yourself to some small simple acts of personal mitigation and personal adaptation on climate change.

Each evening, APAY will upload a challenge for us to commit to the following day. We hope you will join us in expressing your commitment to combating climate change. Let us commit together to make a significant impact.

We would also like to encourage you to help propagate and amplify this campaign by posting pictures and reports of your personal acts of mitigation and adaptation for climate change to your FB page and other social media platforms. Tag your friends and challenge them, too, to amplify the campaign. Add hashtags #EarthHour2EarthDay to further propagate and promote the campaign. Our official campaign hashtag is #EarthHour2EarthDay but you are encouraged to have additional personal and group hashtags.

As we prepare for the 25-Day campaign, we would like to invite you to submit to us suggestions for creative challenges to be completed for each of the 25 days. Please send your creative suggestions (together with a small graphic) to us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
