EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, visitors are seen gazing at the breathtaking Manhattan skyline from the Top of the Rock during Earth Hour in New York on March 28,2009. As darkness envelops the city, more than 80 countries unite in a powerful display of solidarity against climate change and rising greenhouse gas emissions. Earth Hour is a global movement that encourages individuals, businesses, and landmarks to switch off their lights for one hour as a symbolic gesture to raise awareness about environmental issues. During this particular Earth Hour event, homes, office towers, and iconic landmarks across New York City turned off their lights at precisely 8:30 pm local time. The image captures the awe-inspiring beauty of Manhattan's illuminated skyscrapers before they succumb to darkness. The visitors stand in contemplation as they witness firsthand how even such an iconic metropolis can be transformed by a collective commitment towards sustainability. This photograph serves as a reminder that every action counts when it comes to preserving our planet. It showcases humanity's capacity for unity and determination in addressing climate change. Through events like Earth Hour, we are reminded that together we have the power to make positive changes for future generations. Photographed by Eric Thayer for Reuters Images, this image encapsulates both the magnificence of human achievement represented by Manhattan's skyline and our responsibility towards protecting our environment.
