Next Saturday, March 28, Águilas joins the celebration of Earth Hour, the largest environmental mobilization campaign that will unite millions of people, cities and companies around the world committed to the conservation of nature.
Given the difficult and exceptional circumstances that we are experiencing due to the COVID-19 pandemic and in application of the corresponding regulations, all the street events planned for this day have been canceled, but we will keep shutting down three important municipalities in the town (Castillo, Pava de la Balsa and Puente del Hornillo) between 20.30 and 21.30, also making a call for citizens to join this proposal in their homes.
From WWF, the NGO that organizes this initiative, they have indicated that "this year, in addition to turning off the lights symbol of Earth Hour, we are going to propose different activities to do from home, so that everyone who wants to can join in with their families to the largest virtual event of environmental awareness in history ".
As a special gesture, WWF asks citizens to "join our message of hope on Saturday, March 28 at 8:30 p.m., launching a phrase in Morse to the world with the flashlight of their mobile phone, something very easy to do thanks to the Free apps that translate words into flashes of light in Morse. With the message "Turn off the light.
Everything will be fine "we want to remember that Earth Hour is more alive than ever to inspire union and collaboration for a common good".
