EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, the juxtaposition of Beijing's National Grand Theater and the Great Hall of the People during Earth Hour on March 28,2009, serves as a powerful reminder of our collective responsibility towards climate change. As more than 80 countries participated in this global initiative, homes, office towers, and iconic landmarks like these two magnificent structures united in darkness at 8:30 pm local time to shed light on the urgent threat posed by rising greenhouse gas emissions. The image captures a moment when these architectural marvels stand side by side with their lights turned off. The absence of illumination not only symbolizes unity but also signifies a call for action to combat climate change. Through this simple act of switching off lights for an hour, people worldwide aimed to raise awareness about environmental issues that affect us all. Photographed by Jason Lee from Reuters Images and recognized as China Environment Society Image of the Day Top Picture, this snapshot encapsulates both the beauty and fragility of our planet. It reminds us that we are all interconnected in our efforts to protect Mother Earth. This photograph is a testament to humanity's ability to come together for a common cause – safeguarding our environment for future generations.
