Artists Around the World Celebrate Earth Hour

18-3-16

The 2016 Earth Hour is taking place this weekend in Hong Kong at 8:30pm. Earth Hour is the world's largest collective environmental action. It involves individuals, communities, and governments across the globe. This simple idea of clicking the lights-off world-wide sends the message that we are united in the fight to save our planet's resources.

The theme for Hong Kong this year is sustainability. It's more than simply turning the lights off. It's about making sure we waste less. The latest research by WWF and Global Footprint Network reveals that if everybody in the world consumed resources at the same rate as we do in Hong Kong, we would need 3.1 Earths to fulfil our needs. It's only logical to assume we have to reduce the level of our consumption and keep it within what our one planet can provide.

Artists all over the world are coming together to create art about Earth Hour. Here's some cool ones we found.
