The City will switch off the lights in its buildings and on Table Mountain, one of the many iconic landmarks around the world to be featured during Earth Hour. In addition, the City is partnering with the VA Waterfront to host an event featuring the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra, to promote saving electricity, reducing carbon emissions and living lightly on the planet.
Earth Hour is a global grass-roots movement co-ordinated by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), encouraging individuals, businesses and governments around the world to take positive action for the environment, reducing CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions by switching off their lights for one designated hour. It aims to mobilise far-reaching action, commitment and collaboration during the one hour and beyond.
