At 8.30pm this Saturday (March 28) households and businesses across the world will turn their lights off and go dark for one hour to support the international campaign, known as Earth Hour.

Local businesses in Montenegro are contributing to Earth Hour and will be switching off their lights on the night. Promonte, the leading provider of mobile telecommunication services in Montenegro, is one of the companies supporting the campaign and will be switching off the spot lights that light up the sign on the dome of its building.

An estimated 50 to 100 million people around the world switched off their lights for Earth Hour in 2008, and global landmarks including the Golden Gate Bridge, Rome’s Colosseum, the Coke billboard in Times Square and Jumeirah Hotel in Dubai darkened for one hour.

In 2009, Earth Hour aims to reach 1 billion people around the world in more than 1000 cities involving business, government and the community in the world’s largest global action on climate change on 28 March 2009.
