Ever since the establishment of UNMC Nature Club 8 years ago, UNMC Earth Hour has been annually organized. UNMC Earth Hour acts as both a statement and awareness campaign that shows the growing concern and awareness among the UNMC students regarding issues that threaten the future of our world.

 

Our focus has always been on raising awareness, and this year, UNMC Earth Hour 2016 had achieved 1100 participants. Through the night long event, messages of energy conservation, climate change, and the human habits that harm the environment were spread via songs, performances, and a 10 minute play by the Universities environmental science students.

 

This is an UNMC tradition that continuously grows stronger and more impactful every year, and one that will continue to grow as people become more aware of the impact they can contribute to saving the planet.

 

Aim: To continue raising awareness of issues that threaten the future of our planet, and act as a platform for students to make a statement of concern.
