Hello Darlings, On Saturday March 29th at 8:30 pm, millions of people across the world are switching off their power for one hour — to celebrate their commitment to the planet. In its eights year, Earth Hour has united the planet it its effort to protect our environment. For that one hour our world slows down if not comes to a haul. Unplug and turn off is the goal!
This year for Earth Hour, Durex has kick started a global trend known as #TurnOFFtoTurnOn in support of our environment – and our relationships. Did you know that Canadians spend an average of 7.1 hours of leisure time per day on four screens — smart phones, tablets, computers and TV?! Now imagine what this does to our intimacy which according to a UK study has dropped by 20% in the past ten years. So this year, don’t only turn off the light but also unplug from technology and reconnect with your partner. I mean really, can you think of a better way to celebrate Earth Hour?
To get the sparks flying, Durex will provide one lucky winner with Earth Hour Survival of goodies which will include all things nice and romantic from Durex valued at over $100. So join the fun and enter to WIN below!

I know it’s very simple, but I love going for a nice long walk and maybe going out for a cup of coffee. It gives me and my partner a chance to talk and catch up, and nothing is better than going for a walk and holding hands!
I love going adventuring in the woods with my darling boyfriend and our dog! I couldn’t be happier than when I’m just outdoors with the two of them!
My ideal date is going for a nice 5-7km run! I love running and look for a guy who also runs. If they can’t keep up with me, that’s no problem! I think running with people reveals a lot :))
My favourite date nice idea is romance. I would loveee to be wined then dined!
Sushi kid free anywhere.
watching a movie with a bucket of popcorn
I enjoy special surprise dates like hot air balloon ride:)
Cooking classes together!
I love date nights in that include take out food, movies and popcorn!
I love going somewhere secluded like a cottage with a packed lunch and eating by candlelight.
Going on a hike with my boyfriend and carving our name into something!
Every few months my fiance and I rent a hotel out of town with a large jacuzzi tub. Wine, candles, flowers and fun!!
Can’t think of a better way to spend Earth Hour with the lights out!
Board games are seriously a classic for date nights! So much fun, and great for getting to know one another.
An evening of tapas and wine
Going to a park, sitting, relaxing & talking
maybe over ice cream!
driving range always worked for me
Enjoying a movie in (my significant other hates theatres) and a home cooked meal is our idea of an ideal date night.
Anything KID FREE is great. I’m pretty simple, so a nice quiet dinner and a movie that doesn’t have a G or PG rating is perfect.
These days…. a 4 month old that goes to sleep before 9pm and sleeps until at least 6am!! Then, a bottle of wine and some TV for hubby and I!
Something nice, romantic and personal where I can look at my hubby and just enjoy his company.. A little wine and dinner <3
harbour boat tour
dinner at a nice restaurant followed by some stand up comedy/improv!
My favourite idea of a date night would be a fancy room in downtown Vancouver that we could return to after a night of great food and great music….
Downtime with the kids out of the house, a nice dinner, a fireplace, wine and great movie!
A stroll around the park! Then a nice dinner and movie!
a picnic in the park with hubby
A delicious dinner and board game night at home!
I love doing something simple, like going out for a nice dinner or window shopping when the weather is nice! Or going for a hot chocolate/tea:)
I love taking long walks with no destination in mind.
Último cuadrante de la Luna: 2023

a night out for dinner and a movie
I love when we make dinner together
Cooking for him, with wine and a wee fire in the pit
i love a nice home cooked meal while we watch a movie together.
Someplace outside away from things, a nature trail or camping under the stars.
One of our favourite date ideas is taking an evening walk through downtown Toronto, and just enjoying each other’s company. There are so many things to see that spark conversations that make us laugh, smile, and dream together.
Rollerblading/biking around Stanley Park in Vancouver, followed by a picnic in the park, then a nice hot tub under the stars
id go to one of those zero G plane rides
anything with food and dessert is great !
A nice picnic in the backyard at night. Candles, blanket, basket of food and wine
snowboarding @ whistler!
going to an amusement park and riding the roller coasters together!
walk in the park
I love a packed picnic in the park and a walk
thanks
I am always conserving. A candlelight dinner would be romantic for me.
I love the idea of going ice skating! Hold hands and then warm up over hot chocolate!
My favourite nights are always the simplest - meal and a movie - You cannot go wrong
My ideal date would start with a race(like the amazing race). We’d work together and help each other out on the puzzles. Then dinner where we can reflect on how much fun we had.
homemade dinner and a movie
We like to choose a new restaurant to check out and enjoy the food and conversation together. Then we head home for dessert.
My fav date idea would be a night on the town with dinner at an upscale restaurant, tickets to a show and a walk back to the hotel afterwards admiring all of the city lights! Room service with dessert would complete the evening!
watch home cooked meal at home and watch tv
Go shopping for groceries, cook a great meal, and spend time together.
Staying in for dinner and watching a movie at home together.
an outdoor activity (like snoeshoeing or ice skating) and a cosy place to eat something after
If I win this, I want Earth Hour to happen at least once a week.
Oysters… oysters!!
getting a baby sitter and then going out for dinner and a nice walk
going to the opera is always fun!
