Every year, on the last Saturday of March, millions of people, institutions and companies turn off the light for one hour, joining the biggest environment event in history – Earth Hour. Following WWF’s call, the organization that initiated Earth Hour movement in 2007, more than 7000 de cities in over 152 countries turned off the light in 2013, spreading a powerful message about how our daily life has a negative impact upon the planet and its natural resources.

From 2011, Earth Hour has entered the stage Beyond the Hour, occasion on which people from all over the world are urged not only to turn off the light but also to get involved in environmental protection actions every day.
