HURRAY!!! Earth Hour is back again and it's almost time to switch off all our lights!!!So, you better do so to save our beautiful planet!!!The countdown has started!!! 1 more day left until Earth Hour so let's do our part to keep Mother Nature happy!!!
So, what's the history behind earth Hour??? Well,Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million individuals and more than 2,000 businesses turned their lights off for one hour to take a stand against climate change. Only a year later and Earth Hour had become a global sustainability movement with more than 50 million people across 35 countries/territories participating. Global landmarks such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge, CN Tower in Toronto, Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and Rome’s Colosseum, all stood in darkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by the hour.
