I've just come back from my excursion at the power plant in the Czech Republic only to see what things look like at the illuminated billboards at Piccadilly Circus when the lights go out. Welcome to Earth Hour, a global event organized by WWF, held on the last Saturday of March annually, asking households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and other electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change.
In its fourth year, a record 128 countries and territories joined the global display of climate action. Iconic buildings and landmarks from Asia Pacific to Europe and Africa to the Americas switched off. People across the world from all walks of life turned off their lights and came together in celebration and contemplation of the one thing we all have in common – our planet.
I was a small part of that in central London, and a few images you can see below.
There is also a WWF Earth Hour Flickr Photostream for those globally minded photo enthusiasts.
