And how do you join the Earth Hour project, in which you have participated so far over 7,000 towns and cities on all seven continents? Between 20:30 and 21:30 local time turn off the lights and all electrical and electronic devices that do not guarantee your personal or property safety. And when you turn on the lights again, repeat the guiding thought of this initiative throughout the year: "I will if you will" (I will, if you will") and become an example or inspiration for others. The only way is waiting for us a brighter future, albeit with less or more efficiently used artificial light.
