In 2016, Earth Hour takes place on Saturday, March 19, when thousands of people, cities and businesses around the world turn off their lights for 60 minutes, between 8:30 pm and 9:30 pm.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more and participate too:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wwf.org.br\/participe\/horadoplaneta\/\">www.wwf.org.br\/participe\/horadoplaneta\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe campaign is already a worldwide reference and we hope that it will not only last for that one hour when the lights go out, but that it will be kept alive throughout the year.

In each edition, some of the world&#039;s best-known monuments \u2013 such as the pyramids of Egypt; the Eiffel Tower in Paris; and the Acropolis of Athens \u2013 are left in the dark for sixty minutes, as a warning to the problems faced as a result of climate change.<\/p>\n<p>In Brazil, during these eight years, the Christ the Redeemer, in Rio de Janeiro, has also been erased; the Estaiada Bridge, in S\u00e3o Paulo; the Esplanade of Ministries and the National Congress, in Bras\u00edlia; and the S\u00e3o Francisco de Assis Church (Igrejinha da Pampulha), in Belo Horizonte \u2013 in a total of more than 600 Brazilian icons that have already been left in the dark.<\/p>\n<p><b>About Earth Hour<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Earth Hour, known globally as Earth Hour, is a global initiative of the WWF Network to tackle climate change.
