The Earth Hour proved to be a big success. Last Saturday, in 88 countries and almost 4000 cities, lights were turned off where possible for a full hour between 8:30pm and 9:30pm to emphasise the importance of climate change.
The two main icons of Sydney were dark too – Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge as well as the skyscrapers in the background. Wow! Think of the amount of power saved worldwide in that short time... Many times we wonder why so many lights are left on overnight – we notice shopfronts and neon signs, empty parking garages, etc. It’s all such a waste...
Interestingly, this initiative was started in Australia in 2007.
