Earth Hour, which has been organized every year since 2007, started as a symbolic event in the Australian city of Sydney. It has since grown into an international event in which millions of households and hundreds of companies around the world turn off their lights. The lights will also be turned off at the SuikerSilo's, on the SugarFactory site in Halfweg, on Saturday, March 24.
The sponsor of the event, the World Wildlife Fund, is calling on people to turn off lights and other electrical equipment in homes and businesses for one hour. We are also participating to show that we care about the earth.
The average family that turns off the lights for one hour saves 0.27 kWh, or 96 g of CO2. If we all participate, we will offset the CO2 emissions of an average household for 5.7 days. buurtkracht.nl
