Switch off for Nature this Earth Hour
Every year, millions of people across the globe who are passionate about our planet are united at 8:30p.m. on the last Saturday of March for Earth Hour. This annual environmental movement helps in raising awareness of the issues facing our beautiful planet earth by switching off lights at home and across businesses. This yearly appointment which BNF has become accustomed to is about showing support for our environment and it also serves as a wake-up call for leaders from across the world to act fast.
Alongside many other companies, we're joining forces for Earth Hour and switching off ancillary lights for 1 hour, across all our 12-retail branch network. Show the world you care and celebrate this cause on Saturday, 27th of March 2021 from 8:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.
