Αρχίζοντας στο Σίδνεϋ της Αυστραλίας πριν από τρία χρόνια, Η Ώρα της Γης έχει εξελιχθεί σε ένα παγκόσμιο σεβασμό. Η Ώρα της Γης 2010 , το Σάββατο 27 Μαρτίου, σπίτια, πύργοι γραφεία και ουρανοξύστες απενεργοποίησαν τα φώτα τους για μία ώρα. Η έναρξη 8.30 μ.μ., τοπική ώρα για την ευαισθητοποίηση σχετικά με τις κλιματικές αλλαγές και η απειλή από την αύξηση των εκπομπών αερίων του θερμοκηπίου . Εδώ είναι μια σειρά από προ-και-μετά από τις φωτογραφίες σε αυτό το έτος . Για να δείτε την διάφορα πατήστε επάνω στις φωτογραφίες και απαιτείτε το Javascript να είναι ενεργοποιημένο.
