/PanARMENIAN.Net/ On Saturday, March 27, 2010 at 8.30pm, a billion
people around the world will switch off their lights for one hour -
WWF's Earth Hour to show they care about climate change.
`Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, will join the global action during
which the outside lighting will be turned off between 8:30 and 9:30
pm,' Diana Yeritspokhyan, a spokeswoman for the Yerevan mayor's
office, told a press conference in Yerevan.
"We hope this action would foster ecological thinking among the
younger generation and remind them about their responsibility in
respect to the global processes of climate change," she said.
The RA Ministry of Environment, Yerevan mayor's office, SPYUR
information center, Nat Geo Travel, HSBC Bank Armenia and other
organizations joined the initiative.
According to head of WWF Armenia Aram Gabrielyan, the action is to
appeal to the world public in regard to a reasonable use of available
natural resources, otherwise future generations will lack them in
2050-2100.
