News: Earth Hour switches Dubai's lights off.
Dubai was the first Arab city to declare its public support for Earth Hour, a worldwide environmental movement backed by the World Wildlife Fund.
Millions of people around the world participated yesterday by switching off non-essential lights as a signal they care about global warming.
