Will You Recognize Earth Hour Tonight?

Element Hotel in Lexington will shine a little less bright tonight.

As part of the World Wildlife Fund's Earth Hour, Element Hotel lobbies will transition to candlelight from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. And hotel guests "will be invited to toast Mother Earth during a celebratory Happy Earth Hour, with drink sales from the brands newly launched Salon Bars benefiting the World Wildlife Fund," according to the WWF's website.

The WWF's Earth Hour encourages individuals, businesses and muncipalities around the globe to shut off their lights for one hour on March 23 at 8:30 p.m. "to focus on the one thing that unites us all—our planet."

The movement aims to raise awareness about various environmental issues affecting the planet including energy consumption and global warming.
