Landmarks go dark for 'Earth Hour'
A candlelight concert has been held at Montreal's Christ Church Cathedral to mark Earth Hour for four years running and is scheduled for March 24, 2018 as well.
According to the World Wildlife Fund, the organization behind the movement, iconic USA landmarks, including the Empire State Building, the Space Needle, the Willis Tower and numerous bright lights of the Las Vegas strip will participate, providing a stunning visual backdrop for this crucial call to action.
Earth Hour is a global environmental initiative to unite people to protect the planet; it began in Australia 10 years ago and has reached millions of people in more than 172 countries since its inception. "Halting its loss is urgent and crucial as much as tackling climate change", said Marco Lambertini, director general of the World Wide Fund for Nature in a statement. "Biodiversity and nature is the foundation of life, essential to our wellbeing".
Earth Hour supporters have successfully advocated for more climate-friendly laws and policies, such as those that have banned plastic in the World Heritage site of the Galapagos Islands, according to the website.
"We likewise encourage the private sector to turn off their lights and other signages in their facilities during Earth Hour as their operations and businesses will allow", he added.

"This year our Annual Earth Hour Celebrations will take place in Dockyard, however due to the high winds and inclement weather forecasted this weekend we have postponed all entertainment and activities until next month on the eve of Earth Day".
Organisers Greenrock urged people to switch their lights off from 8.30pm to 9.30pm tomorrow anyway, as Earth Hour itself will still go ahead.
