Hard Rock International has detailed its latest participation in Earth Hour, as the global entertainment operator once again aligned with The World Wildlife Fund in going dark on March 27.
The Earth Hour movement is an annual event orchestrated by WWF, an international non-governmental organisation that works to preserve wildlife and the environment, which encourages millions of people, businesses and landmarks across the world to ‘go dark’ for 60 minutes, and show their commitment to fighting climate change and protecting the planet.
