Notre Dame experienced a sight unfamiliar to campus Saturday night -a majestic, stately, but unlit Golden Dome.
In accordance with a project known as Earth Hour, the University turned off the lights of the Golden Dome and the library mural Saturday night from 8 to 9 p.m.
Earth Hour, a global event organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature, began last March 31 in Sydney, Australia in an effort to decrease the city’s carbon emissions, according to AustraliaEnergy.com.
