아테네 아크로폴리스부터 파리의 에펠타워까지...세계 주요 명소들 '지구 시간'위해 1시간 점등

Hello, it's time for the World Now. Bringing you some of the most interesting news from around the globe, I'm Choi Jeong-yoon.
'Earth Hour' was celebrated over the weekend, where people across the world counted down together before switching off lights for one hour at exactly 8-30 PM local time.
Some of world's most iconic landmarks were plunged into darkness...from the Eiffel Tower in Paris to buildings along Shanghai's skyline.
In Greece, Athen's Acropolis staged a slow blackout with lights going off on ancient structures...while nearly 4-thousand companies and buildings switched off their lights in Hong Kong.
This global event, organized by environmental group WWF...is to push for action on climate change and other man-made threats to the planet.
The annual Earth Hour has grown steadily since the first event in 2007 in Sydney, Australia and is now observed in more than 7-thousand cities worldwide.
