Lights dim on monuments around the world

摘要

Europe's best known landmarks - including the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben and Rome's Colosseum -fell dark on the evening of 27 March, following Sydney's Opera House and Beijing's Forbidden City in joining a global climate change protest, as lights were switched off across the world to mark the Earth Hour event.rnIn the United States, the lights went out at the Empire State Building in New York, the National Cathedral in Washington, DC, and the Coca-Cola headquarters in Atlanta, among many other sites in the Eastern time zone.
