In an effort to raise awareness on energy saving and the need for action on climate change, the Environment and Resources Authority (ERA) will be joining millions of people, businesses, and landmarks around the globe by participating in Earth Hour. This event is an annual worldwide initiative, this year being held on Saturday 25th March from 8.30 to 9.30 p.m.
To support this symbolic commitment to reduce energy consumption, ERA has today switched off its office lights for an hour and encouraged its staff to make use of stairs instead of lifts throughout the day. ERA will also be joining the rest of the world tomorrow by keeping the lights out between 8.30 and 9.30 p.m.
Individuals, households and businesses are encouraged to unite in this good cause and turn off their non-essential lights for one hour.
