Local youths to promote Earth Hour
As of March 13, environmental clubs for youths around Ho Chi Minh City will screen films at universities, hold musical shows at cafés and collect rubbish on the streets to help raise awareness about Earth Hour.
This year’s Earth Hour is scheduled to take place at Ho Chi Minh City-based Van Thanh Park in Binh Thanh District from 8:30 to 9:30 pm on March 26.
Environmental clubs are also urging individuals, businesses and the government to minimize carbon dioxide emissions in addition to turning off the lights during Earth Hour with the hopes of contributing to saving the planet.
Last year, major cities countrywide took part in Earth Hour on March 28 and saved 140,000kWh.
