Czechs will join millions of people around the globe in turning off their lights for 60 minutes on March 28 starting at 8:30 pm local time in a symbolic show of support for the Earth Hour campaign against climate change.
Earth Hour will dim some of Prague’s best-known landmarks including Prague Castle, Charles Bridge, Old Town Square or the Žižkov TV tower.
Other fifty businesses and administrative buildings will turn off their lights in the capital. In addition, the illumination of some famous landmarks will be turned off
Prague and other cities around the Czech Republic first marked Earth Hour in 2012. One hundred thirty cities and towns are expected to join the campaign this year.
Everyone recognizes the importance of environmental protection in everyday life in order to ensure a brighter future. In this way, we may leave a healthy Earth to future generations.
Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007 as a symbolic lights-out event organized by WWF and allies and has now grown to become one of the world’s largest environmental grassroots initiatives.
Every year on the final Saturday in March, millions of people in over 180 nations and territories participate in Earth Hour by turning off their lights to show their respect for our planet.
Global landmarks such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the CN Tower in Toronto, the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and Rome’s Colosseum, all stood in darkness for Earth Hour.
