THE Earth Hour Global representatives in Brunei will be inviting the private sector, associations, individuals and other agencies in Brunei to take part in conserving the power consumption by switching off the unessential lights and other electrical appliances for only one hour.
The volunteer blackout will commence from 8.30pm till 9.30pm on March 27. Some Brunei households and companies such as The Empire Hotel & Country Club and the Sheraton Hotel participated in this initiative last year.
Earth Hour Global is committed to having Brunei Darussalam as an official participant of Earth Hour Campaign in 2010, and place Brunei in the Earth Hour International Map.
Statistics from the Electrical Services Department show that the Ministry of Education's average usage of electricity is 6,581,472 KWh a month, which costs $658,147.23.
The Earth Hour Global representatives can be reached at support@earthhour.org.bn, Facebook: earthhourbrunei, Twitter: earthhourbrunei.
