Actor Arjun Kapoor has joined hands with WWF-India to pledge his support to the Earth Hour 2015– WWF’s global campaign to raise awareness and inspire individual action on climate change. This was announced at a press conference held in the city, partnered by the ITC Maratha.
This is the second time that Arjun has pledged his support towards the campaign. Arjun spoke about his association with the cause and invited citizens of the city to come forward and show their support for the campaign. Arjun is also supporting the Sahasra Jyoti project of WWF-India, an initiative launched by the organization aimed at bringing sustainable development to the Sundarbans landscape in India, by enabling energy access to 1000 households in the region – all through solar energy.
Earth Hour is the largest environmental campaign in history and enables individuals, organizations, governments and groups to show their support towards policies and practices that create a balance between development and environmental concerns.

Through “India Unplugged”, Earth Hour 2015, not only calls out to people to switch off, but also encourages citizens across the country to explore and adopt a cleaner and more sustainable lifestyle by embracing renewable energy solutions. Seven years in the running, the Earth Hour 2015 campaign calls for:
- Individuals to adopt household products powered by renewable energy;
- Corporates to adopt renewable energy solutions to run their business operations and production processes;
- Governments to promote policies favourable to the production and uptake of renewable energy
Emphasizing his support for Earth Hour, Arjun, addressing the media at Mumbai said, “Earth Hour was initiated by WWF to fight the acute threat that climate change poses. The campaign is truly a vehicle of change and has grown to garner the support of millions across the globe. Being a part of the same global community, I feel extremely proud to be associated with the movement and would encourage others to do the same.”
