INTI INspires Youths to Help Make Earth Hour the #BiggestHourForEarth

WWF-Malaysia sincerely thanks the lecturers, students and Career Services Teams of INTI International College Penang, INTI International College Subang and INTI International University in Nilai, for undertaking pledge drives to acquire about 25,000 Earth Hour Pledges for Nature last year. 

Everyone pledged to Give an Hour for Earth by taking any action for at least 60 minutes to:
  • Reconnect with our planet
  • Restore our planet
  • Learn more about our planet
  • Inspire others to care for our planet

From January to March 2024, 11,000 people pledged to switch off lights during Earth Hour 2024. The remaining 14,000 people pledged from April to December 2024 to switch off lights during Earth Hour at 8.30 pm on Saturday, 22 March 2025, as a symbolic act to demonstrate their support of nature conservation.
