Earth Hour Goes Live!
As I write this, Earth Hour is well underway with many cities around having already participated in Earth Hour.
Many cities organized Earth Hour events such as live concerts, free movie screenings, candlelit dinners etc Famous landmarks such as the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge were reduced to silhouettes as most of their lights were switched off.
What’s more, major companies around the world made sure they played their part in Earth Hour. For example, IT companies such as Intel, InfoSys, Wipro, and Microsoft, switched off non-critical servers and workstations for the hour. Also, Google changed the color of it’s homepage to black, and added the following words under it’s search box: “We’ve turned the lights out. Now it’s your turn”.
You can read the updates from the official Earth Hour cities on the Official Earth Hour Blog.
