Toronto turns off the lights to celebrate Earth Hour 2017
(The Star Golf)
 


The Toronto skyline went dim Saturday night as the city joined global celebrations for the 10th annual Earth Hour.The global campaign, started in Australia in 2007 by the World Wildlife Fund, encourages people, businesses and communities to shut off non-essential electricity for one hour to conserve energy and show support for environmental sustainability. In the decade since, the event has grown into a global movement with millions of participants. Last year, the event had the same impact locally as taking 36,000‎ homes off the grid, according to Toronto Hydro. The City of Toronto said it would shut off the famous Toronto sign at Nathan Phillips Square to mark the occasion. The CN Tower also went dark. Thousands of other landmarks in 172 countries worldwide also shut off their lights at 8:30 p.m. local time. They include the Eiffel Tower, the Sydney Opera House, Big Ben, the Empire State Building and the Pyramids of Egypt.
