The Grand Serail In Beirut was turned off – Picture via EarthHourLB
The Grand Serail in Beirut was switched off today at 8:30 for Earth Hour Lebanon. I heard Baabda palace also participated but I don’t have any pictures.
Phoenicia and Le Gray Hotels also participated in Earth Hour.

As for the last picture, these people unwillingly participated in Earth Hour as electricity was off and they didn’t have a generator subscription as a backup.
It’s really funny that the Serail is participating, this is really insulting to the Lebanese people who have been participating in it since the early days of the civil war. I know it’s symbolic, but come on, it doesn’t concern us.
In Lebanon, we’re so environmentally friendly, it’s earth hour several times a day, every day 🙂
