Over the weekend, we joined the climate activists and faith communities which celebrated Earth Hour in Malate Catholic Church with a call to go beyond the hour by going fossil-free.<\/p>\n
Through the years, Earth Hour has become an expression of unanimity and solidarity for a more sustainable path to progress, with millions of people across the globe taking part in the initiative every year.<\/p>\n
We spent an hour with the Malate Church parishioners, members of the Global Catholic climate Movement Pilipinas, and fellow activists in contemplation with music and dance, with the event lit up by solar power systems, serving as beacons of hope amidst the darkness of a world engulfed in a climate crisis.<\/p>\n
