Bangkok will turn off the lights at several streets across the city.
#Bangkok
officials have urged residents to switch the lights off at their homes
for one hour on Saturday night to join the Earth Hour movement which
promotes sustainability.
The
Earth Hour, which was started by WWF and is held across 7,000 cities
each year, will take place between 8:30pm - 9:30pm on Saturday night.
During
this hour, people are encouraged to switch off non-essential lights as a
symbol of their commitment to the planet and to a sustainable world.
Bangkok will also hit the off switch at several streets across the city including Silom, Khaosan, Ratchadaphisek, and Yaowarat.
Wat Phra Kaew, Wat Arun, The Giant Swing and Rama VIII bridge will also go through a blackout.
Last
year Bangkok saved 1,940 megawatts of electricity during the Earth
Hour, which accounted for nine percent of the total electricity saved, Naewna reported.
