Earth Hour in Newfoundland and Labrador starts at 8:30 PM local time on the last Saturday of March. For 2024, this means it will occur on March 30th. During this hour, individuals and businesses are encouraged to turn off non-essential lights to raise awareness about climate change.
No, but it would be very good to the Earth by planting a tree and turning off your lights for 1 hour!
There were about 135 countries that took part in Earth hour.
According to the official ABS website, 34.92 megawattswere saved through the power scheme of Earth Hour. Yours sincerly, Anne Onymous.

Hi: Earth Hour is an hour at which, every year, people and organizations around the world do something in support of saving the earth (electricity, fuels, waste, conservation, etc).This year, it's 31 March at 8h30pm.
The time in part of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, specifically the Island of Newfoundland and a small part of Labrador, is almost always a half hour ahead of the rest of Labrador. Most of the time that most of Labrador is on Atlantic Daylight Saving Time (ADT; UTC - 3 hours), the rest of the province is on Newfoundland Daylight Saving Time (NDT; UTC - 2.5 hours), and most of the time that most of Labrador is on Atlantic Standard Time (AST; UTC - 4 hours), the rest of the province is on Newfoundland Standard Time (NST; UTC - 3.5 hours).
This may be just a little confusing, but in eastern Canada there are three provinces which are collectively known as "the Maritime Provinces." They are New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Often they are referred to as "the Maritimes." The three Maritime Provinces, plus the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, make up "the Atlantic Provinces." (Colloquially, the four Atlantic Provinces are often referred to as "Down East" or "Down Home.") The three Maritime Provinces are in the Atlantic time zone. Atlantic Time is one hour earlier than Eastern Time. That much is simple and straightforward. The province of Newfoundland and Labrador includes, of course, the island of Newfoundland, plus much of the eastern coast of Canada north toward Greenland, which is known as Labrador. The island of Newfoundland is in the Newfoundland time zone, which is half an hour earlier than the Atlantic time zone. Most of Labrador is in the Atlantic time zone. A small portion of Labrador, the southeast corner, is on Newfoundland Time. The French territory, the islands of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, just off the southern coast of Newfoundland, is on Atlantic time. Therefore, Canada can claim to have five and a half time zones: Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern, Atlantic and Newfoundland. Each of the first five is one hour different from the next, but Newfoundland is only half an hour different from Atlantic. Do you know how to pronounce "Newfoundland"? It's "Newf'nland." It rhymes with "understand." The secondary accent is on the first syllable and the primary accent is on the final syllable.
Earth hour starts at 8:30pm at your local time and finishes at 9:30pm your local time. In 2011, Earth Hour is on 26 March.
It is then 2:00 in Labrador because of the three hour time difference.
North America has the most for instance in Canada we have Pacific, Western,Central, Eastern, Atlantic and then there is 1/2 hour time difference between Atlantic and Newfoundland and Labrador, that is 6 just for Canada.
Ontario is in the Eastern Time Zone (ET) and Newfoundland is in the Newfoundland Time Zone (NT). Newfoundland Time Zone is 30 minutes ahead of Eastern Time Zone, so there is a 1.5 hour time difference between Ontario and Newfoundland.

There are SIX time zones in Canada, at the usual one-hour intervals, except for Newfoundland Time which is thirty minutes ahead of Atlantic Time. The Newfoundland Time is not used in most of Labrador, only on the island of Newfoundland and the southeast corner of Labrador. Except for most of Saskatchewan, Southampton Island, two areas in British Columbia, two areas in Ontario and one area in eastern Quebec, which are always on Standard Time, all other areas of Canada observe Daylight Saving Time, moving clocks ahead by one hour for the summer.
