To help reduce the increasing amount of hazardous chemical emissions into the Earth’s environment from the burning of fossil fuels, the World Wildlife Federation (WWF) organized another Earth Hour Saturday evening.
Earth Hour is a global project connecting an estimated one billion environmentally-conscious people around the world.
At 8:30 p.m. local time civilians and businesses all over the globe turned off their lights and appliances.
The first area to turn off their power was New Zealand and the trend continued throughout the world with various tourist spots in the mix, such as the Las Vegas Strip, the Empire State Building, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Eiffel Tower.
Massive cities all went dark for one hour, creating a visually enticing scene from the air and the temporary blackouts were visible in New York as well as in Los Angeles.
The WFF is concerned about the smog collecting around major cities throughout the world which has not lifted in decades. Many environmentalists have been concerned about the ongoing global air pollution.
The WWF said they are doing their part to reduce chemical emissions annually by providing information on how to help the environment on their website as well as organizing projects such as Earth Hour.
