Earth Hour returns on 26 March

Evelyn Choo Channel NewsAsia 25 Jan 11;

SINGAPORE: Earth Hour, the annual "lights out" event, will be back for the third time.

There will be live concerts and carnivals - all fuelled by recycled cooking oil - at the Promontory at Marina Bay in the early evening of 26 March.

And as the lights go out, participants will be going the extra mile for the cause - quite literally.

For S$15, they can sign up for a walk - as a sign of support for the fight against climate change.

The 3.5-kilometre route will take participants to Marina Bay Sands, The Float@Marina Bay, The Esplanade, One Fullerton, Clifford Pier and then back at the Promontory.
