Dear John,

I know you're busy, so I'll make this quick. I'm really hoping you'll join me and thousands of other people in making a promise to protect our planet by Earth Day, this Monday.

Everyone—including you—can play a role in solving our greatest environmental problems. One simple and easy way you can make a difference is by pledging to Give an Hour for Earth, a new WWF initiative.

All you need to do is commit to give an hour for Earth and participate in one of these activities, or choose another way to do something positive for the planet:

1. Create a zero-waste meal.

2. Take part in an outdoor excursion.

3. Take public transit or a ride share to your next destination.

4. Learn about your community’s recycling system.

Your commitment to giving just one hour for Earth can lead to significant change and inspire others to do the same. Together, we can create a healthier and more sustainable planet.

Will you join this global movement and give an hour for Earth?

More than 80,000 hours have been given by WWF supporters. Will you help us to reach our ambitious goal of 100,000 hours by Earth Day? Take our pledge and show the world how our collective actions can positively impact the planet.

Sincerely,

P.S. Want to explore other ways to Give an Hour for Earth? Browse our activity list and find out how to turn your passions into meaningful impact.
