Yerevan joins Earth Hour

ArmInfo.Yerevan is joining the global environmental initiative Earth Hour.  According to the press service of the Yerevan Municipality, on March 28, from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM, outdoor lighting on the capital's main streets and  buildings will be switched off.

The municipality also confirmed that Yerevan has been undergoing a  large-scale modernization of its outdoor lighting network in recent  years: old systems are being replaced with modern, energy-saving  solutions, reducing light pollution and improving nighttime  conditions.

Earth Hour is the largest public environmental campaign in human  history, organized by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). Earth Hour is an  initiative to encourage individuals, businesses and governments  around the world to take accountability for their  ecological  foodprint and engage in dialogue and resource exchange that provides  real solutions to our environmental challenges. Armenia has been  regularly participating in this initiative since 2008.
