EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the stunning cityscape of Bangkok just before Earth Hour on March 28,2009. As darkness begins to fall, the vibrant lights from homes, office towers, and landmarks illuminate the skyline. However, this breathtaking scene is about to undergo a transformation as more than 80 countries participate in Earth Hour. Earth Hour is an annual event that aims to raise awareness about climate change and the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. At precisely 8:30 pm local time, participating cities around the world turn off their lights for one hour as a symbolic gesture towards sustainability. In this photograph by Sukree Sukplang of Reuters Images, we witness Bangkok's bustling metropolis preparing for this global movement. The image serves as a reminder of our collective responsibility to protect our planet and combat climate change. As night falls over Bangkok's urban landscape, it becomes evident that even small actions can make a significant impact when united under a common cause. This powerful visual encapsulates both the beauty of human innovation and our capacity for positive change. Through photographs like these, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our environment for future generations. Let us be inspired by this image and join hands in creating a sustainable future where every hour can be an "Earth Hour. "
