What is Today

Hyderabad March 25: I wish, I could sense, most of them wouldn't have heard about Earth hour. Today I gonna explain it.

Daily we are wasting so much of electrical energy for many unwanted things but on the March 25 at 8:30 to 9:30 pm we have to switch off the electrical appliances so that we can save some energy for further generation.

In detail, Every year thousands of landmarks across the globe switch off their lights in the world's biggest annual environmental event.

Called Earth Hour, it's organised by conservation organisation WWF. Last year, millions of people across 178 countries supported the action as a sign that they care about the future of the environment.



Last year, more than 10.4 million people in Britain joined in with the Palace of Westminster, Buckingham Palace, The Shard, The Ritz hotel, Old Trafford and Edinburgh Castle among the landmarks which dimmed their lights.

Across the world, more than 350 landmarks from New York to Beijing disappeared from view between 8:30 pm and 9:30 pm local time, including the Eiffel Tower, the Empire State Building and Tokyo Tower.

Earth Hour 2017 takes place at 8:30 pm GMT on Saturday, March 25. This year teams around the world will be using the movement to shine a light on the climate issue most relevant in their country or region.

In Brazil, people will be asked to support protection of one of the country's many biodiversity hotspots from climate change, while citizens in South Africa will focus on renewable energy. In China, WWF is working with businesses to encourage a shift toward sustainable lifestyles.
