With performances by the likes of Tiziana Calleja and Kevin Paul, as well as a fire juggler, attendees were treated to an evening of entertainment whilst enriching their awareness about eco-friendly alternatives to most of our lifestyles.
Organized by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), Earth Hour is an annual event urging individuals, communities, and businesses to dedicate one hour to the planet.
During this time, landmarks and businesses worldwide switch off non-essential electric lights from 8:30 to 9:30 pm, usually on the last Saturday of March, symbolizing a commitment to environmental conservation.
Originating as a lights-off movement in Sydney, Australia, in 2007, Earth Hour has grown into a worldwide phenomenon. Malta enthusiastically participated, hosting various activities in Valletta.
