www.insideHALTON.com · OAKVILLE BEAVER Friday, March 30, 2012 · 14 Earth Hour. I will, if you will World's biggest icons to switch off for Earth Hour From the Eiffel Tower in Paris to the Empire State Building in New York City, the world's tallest building the Burj Khalifa to the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy ­ at 8:30 p.m. on March 31, the most visually captivating icons will go dark for Earth Hour 2012. The Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House, the first landmarks to ever go dark for the lights out event, will switch off for the sixth year straight, before landmarks across Asia including the Great Wall of China, the Bird's Nest in Beijing, the Tokyo Tower, Taipei 101 and the Lumbini Sacred Garden in Nepal celebrate their actions for the planet. The Indian subcontinent will undertake its biggest Earth Hour yet, as India Gate switches off before Earth Hour makes its way through the Middle East, where the world's tallest building in Dubai will go dark for one hour. Just five months after the end of the Libyan uprising, more than 600 individuals are expected to gather outside Libya's Museum in the very first Earth Hour event in that country. In another extreme, Earth Hour will extend to the International Space Station for the first time, where astronaut and WWF ambassador Andre Kuipers will experience Earth Hour watching over the planet for the the European Space Agency. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has confirmed that the headquarters of the United Nations will be switching off as he urged the rest of the world to take part,"Turning off our lights is a symbol of our commitment to sustainable energy for all, we need to fuel our future with clean, efficient and affordable energy." "In 2012, Earth Hour is reaching further and wider than ever before and these landmarks will provide a visually spectacular reminder of what can be done when individuals, organisations and governments act together," said Andy Ridley, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Earth Hour. From the picturesque Table Mountains in Cape Town right up to National Library of Belarus, Europe and Africa will stand together. Dubrovnik city walls in Croatia, the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre in Paris, Berlin's Brandenburg Gate, the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Vatican will also join the world's largest voluntary action for the environment. Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge, the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben in London will be the main landmarks in the United Kingdom to go dark, before Earth Hour makes its way across the Atlantic Ocean to South America, with Rio's epic Christ the Redeemer statue and the Ángel de la Independencia in Mexico providing the backdrop for what will be some of the most spectacular celebrations for La Hora Del Planeta that night. The Big Apple will also have its most famous landmarks take part, with the American Eagle and NASDAQ buildings in Times Square switching off, alongside New York City's famous Empire State Building. The bright lights of the Las Vegas Strip will also go dark for the hour. Director General of UNESCO Irina Bokova has also personally urged all 938 World Heritage across the globe to switch off on March 31 at 8:30 PM. Earth Hour has grown from a one-city initiative in 2007, to a 5,251 city strong global movement, last year reaching 1.8 billion people in 135 countries across all seven continents. www.earthhour.org Do Your Part to Conserve Energy...
