Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim 8:30 PM - 9:30 PM on March 22, 2025, as Earth Hour in the State of New York
Senate Resolution J 112 memorializes Governor Hochul to proclaim 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM on March 22, 2025, as Earth Hour in New York, encouraging residents and landmarks to turn off non-essential lights for one hour to support global environmental awareness. This symbolic resolution does not create new laws or requirements but aligns New York with the annual international Earth Hour event initiated by the WWF in 2007. It directly affects New Yorkers and public/private institutions by inviting voluntary participation in a global climate action symbol observed in over 190 countries.
