Follow on Google News | Grand Millennium Dubai Participates In Earth HourAt 8.30pm on March 29th, the Grand Millennium Dubai will switch off some lights along with millions of residential and commercial buildings worldwide in support of Earth Hour,
Started as a one-off event in Australia in 2007, Earth Hour is now a truly global phenomenon that sees the lights go out at major icons from the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, to the Gateway of India, the Eiffel Tower, Buckingham Palace and Big Ben in London, the Las Vegas Strip, Niagara Falls and the Times Square in North America and, closer to home, the BurjKhalifa and Sheikh Zayed Mosque in the UAE. At the Grand Millennium Dubai, the main hotel name and logo sign lights will be turned out on March 29th along with all external spot lights and garden lights, and non-essential basement lighting, while guests at the hotel and team members in the staff accommodation are being encouraged to switch off too.
