Tonight's international Earth Hour initiative will take place virtually from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic and state of emergency declared in many countries, including Bulgaria. The non-governmental organization WWF Bulgaria calls on Bulgarians wishing to take part in the initiative to turn off the lights in their homes between 8:30 pm and 9:30 pm Bulgarian time as a token of appreciation for the cause. 

The Voice for the Planet concert featuring artists from around the world will be broadcast online on the Facebook page of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
