SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) – From Sydney Harbor to the world's tallest tower in Dubai and the ancient pyramids, major land marks went dark for an hour to join the battle against climate change.

But politics and commercial priorities meant that some well-known energy-guzzling monuments did not join the record 4,000 cities and 125countries in Saturday night's fourth annual Earth Hour organised by the WWF.

Drivers had to cross San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge with just their head lights to help them see, while Twitter and Face book set up applications to let screens darken for an hour along with tourist monuments that briefly went missing from the skyline.

The annual dimming of lights, this year on Saturday at 8:30 pm in locations around the world, was hailed by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon as "both a warning and a beacon of hope".

Take a look at the pictures they show.

Soon, we will all be in the DARK!

My suggestions also for survival kit, get GLOW STICKS, the more the merrier!
