Tonight, the Eiffel Tower Will Disappear – and Here’s Why
Earth Hour 2025: The World Plans to Go Dark (and Social Media Will Light Up)
Imagine looking out over the glittering Paris skyline, waiting as the clock approaches 8:30 p.m.—then suddenly, the Eiffel Tower goes dark. At the same moment, lights dim across New York’s Times Square, Sydney’s Opera House plunges into shadow, and even Dubai’s iconic Burj Khalifa fades into darkness. It’s not a blackout—it’s Earth Hour 2025, and it’s happening worldwide.
Tonight, millions across the globe will unite in one powerful gesture: turning off their lights for one hour to raise awareness about climate change and environmental conservation. As iconic landmarks vanish into darkness, social media will ignite with powerful imagery, creating a striking visual statement in support of our planet.
Why Is the World Going Dark?
Earth Hour, an annual global campaign organized by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), invites individuals, businesses, and cities to switch off non-essential lights for one hour, from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. local time, symbolizing global unity against climate change and biodiversity loss.
This year’s Earth Hour, scheduled for March 29, 2025, is set to be one of the largest ever, with over 190 countries and thousands of cities participating. Famous landmarks will simultaneously disappear into the night, reminding everyone that collective action matters.
Striking Visuals: Landmarks Going Dark Around the Globe
Earth Hour is as visually compelling as it is symbolic. Imagine:
-
Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge silhouetted by stars.
-
London’s Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament dimming in unity.
-
New York’s Times Square briefly hushed by darkness.
-
Rio de Janeiro’s Christ the Redeemer statue quietly disappearing into the night sky.
These scenes not only captivate visually—they send a clear, united message worldwide: it’s time to act for our planet.
