  • [01] Earth Hour 2015 to be celebrated on Saturday, 20:30-21:30

    ANA-MPA - Cities in Greece, monuments and the Athens International Airport will participate in the international Earth Hour event by switching off lights from 20:30 to 21:30 on Saturday, March 28, to raise awareness about climate change.

    The lights-off event has been held annually since founded in 2007. This year it will be held on Saturday at 20:30 local time in over 162 countries and territories worldwide.

    Earth Hour was first held in 2009 in Greece, where it is coordinated by WWF Greece. It will involve hundreds of municipalities throughout the country, while in the past lights have gone off on iconic buildings of the country like the Parthenon, the Greek Parliament, the White Tower in Thessaloniki and the Rio-Antirrio bridge linking central and southern Greece.

    The Athens airport authorities said that during the one-hour event they would switch off lights in one of the runways for an hour and reduce lighting at staff parking lots and other select spaces at the airport and make public announcements about the event.

    Nearby businesses will also participate - Leroy Merlin, Factory Outlet, Sofitel hotel, IKEA, Kotsovolos and others.
