Earth Hour 2010

On Saturday, March 27, 2010, million citizens of the world in hundreds of cities and villages are expected to switch off their lights for one hour and participate in the Earth Hour.

The great Greek participation in 2009 has generated great expectations for this year as well. It is estimated that more than one million households in Greece participated last year, sending a message against the planet’s overheating. A total of 489 municipalities, 1649 businesses, 845 schools and 325 institutions participated in the 2009 Earth Hour. According to the Hellenic Transmission System Operator, when Earth Hour commenced a significant fall in electrical energy of 500 MW was noticed, an amount which results in total savings of 500 tons of Carbon Hydrate.
