More than 2,000 cities around the world will turn their lights off for 60 minutes at 8 P.M. on March 29 to draw attention to climate change and global warming.
Hundreds of popular tourist landmarks and buildings around the world are participating in this event, some of them include...
- Paris: Eiffel Tower and the Cathedral of Notre Dame
- New York City: Broadway theaters, Rockefeller Center, the Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building and the United Nations Headquarters.
- Boston: the signature CITGO sign in Kenmore Square, the lights at the Prudential Center and the John Hancock Tower
- Los Angeles: the Capitol Records Tower, the Santa Monica Pier Ferris Wheel, the "LAX" sign, the Getty Museum and the Griffith Park Observatory.
- London: City Hall and the London Eye
- Toronto: the signature Fairmont Royal York will illuminate its indoor pool area with more than 100 floating candles
- Great Pyramids of Giza, the Acropolis in Athens, Niagara Falls, the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and Chicago’s Sears Tower.
- Las Vegas, visible from space due to its lights, may be the most melodramatic of places to go dark. Casinos’ interior lights and slot machines will remain on, but the bright lights that light up all the casinos and buildings on the Strip will go dark for the hour. Even the famous "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign, which has never been turned off, will be in darkness.
Take part in this effort and "black-out" at 8 P.M. on Saturday March 29.
