"Earth Hour Lights Out Inspires Climate Action"

"SINGAPORE – Bearing the message “use your power to change climate change” WWF’s Earth Hour is motivating people to turn out their lights for one hour across 24 time zones and six continents on Saturday, March 28.

Skylines and monuments, homes and offices will go dark starting at 8:30 pm local time in 172 countries and territories, the largest number to participate since Earth Hour began in 2007 in a single city, Sydney, Australia.

Sydney will go dark again this year, including the landmark Sydney Opera House, and lights will be switched off at more than 1,200 landmarks such as the Great Wall of China, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Houses of Parliament in London and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco."
