Since 2008, every year, at the end of March, Belgrade becomes dark for one hour, from the National theatre and National museum to the Parliament and Main square. World Wildlife Fund includes Belgrade among the cities around the world that wants to warn about climate changes problems.
Earth Hour was celebrated this year in a unique way and it was more interesting because of the “exhibition in the dark”, with photographs showing the effects of climate changes. Light on the exhibition was made by visitors who were pedaling on a bicycle very fast! There was also a performance of the oldest children’s choir in Serbia.
The atmosphere was lovely, and when the lights went out, we had feeling that we were, in that moment, part of the world and doing something good for all of us. The traditional shape of the number 60 made from the candles was also there!
We want to take care about planet, and people who were there have shown it. Not just for one day, but this day can help us to send an important message and to let people join in achieving our goal.
