Dear children,
Iconic landmarks in Singapore such as the ArtScience Museum, Esplanade, Gardens by the Bay and Singapore Flyer, went dark at 8.30 p.m. on Saturday (25 March) as non-essential lights were switched off for the world's largest grassroots movement for the environment - Earth Hour.

This year being the tenth anniversary of the first Earth hour in 2007, was celebrated with a special event, the 5 k.m. Earth Hour Run, where reusable bottles were distributed instead of the usual disposable cups, and participants were offered water in jelly form to reduce waste. Winners were given biodegradable medals that would sprout basil shoots if planted.
"Earth Hour shows how everyone can play a part in shining a light on environmental action and this year, we aim to redefine what sustainability means for people in an urban city like Singapore," said WWF - Singapore's communications director Kim Stengert.
