[Eleven86]

Earth Hour, a grassroots movement within the World Wildlife Fund to turn off all electricity for a single hour once a year as a way to draw attention to energy consumption, will be celebrated by Russian miners this year as well with the creation of “Crypto Hour,” local news outlet Rambler reported March 15.

In order to remind the crypto sphere of the need for more ecologically friendly Blockchain  technologies, Russian crypto miners have asked all miners internationally to turn off their mining equipment on March 24, from 20:30 - 21:30 (local time).

Hmm. The phrase 'you go first' springs to mind.

No serious miner will turn off for one second voluntarily. They're not out for Mother Earth, they're out to get rich and stuff principle. If these guys don't mine for an hour then there's an army of others who will.
