Gwangmyeong Speedom joined the world's largest environmental campaign "Earth Hour" and started eco-friendly practices to respond to the climate crisis.

On March 28, the General Headquarters of the Korea Racing Authority turned off the lights outside the Gwangmyeong Speedome for an hour to participate in energy conservation and carbon reduction.

Earth Hour is a global environmental campaign organized by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), a nature conservation organization. Every year, on the last Saturday of March, from 8:30 p.m., citizens and institutions around the world turn off the lights at the same time for an hour to signal the need to respond to climate change.

The campaign first began in Sydney in 2007 and has now grown into the world's largest conservation campaign involving more than 180 countries and 7,000 cities. Landmarks, public institutions, companies, and citizens from around the world are voluntarily participating to spread consensus on responding to the climate crisis.

"Us hour is an activity that symbolizes the promise of 'protecting the global environment,'" said an official from the Korea Economic Federation who spoke to this newspaper by phone.
