Have you seen media reports about Earth Hour?
By far, the images used most often to illustrate participation (or non-participation) in Earth Hour are buildings. Here is an older image that illustrates the point, by Ryan McCarthy.
Some of the recent media highlighted successful participation and others are talking about lagging participation. In the Toronto Star, they had photos of buildings that you would think would have participated, but were still lit up, such as the building owned by Ontario Power Generation and Toronto Hydro’s building.
Either way, buildings that are dark, semi-dark or even fully lit are in the news everywhere. And that includes iconic buildings, ordinary office buildings and even homes.
