‘Earth Hour a reminder to conserve resources’MANILA, Philippines — With Earth Hour approaching, its organizer said the hour given to the planet is a stark reminder to conserve resources at all times. Let us, as citizens and citizens of this earth, do also our part to conserve what is necessary so that we have a sustainable planet,” she stressed. Last year’s Earth Hour conserved 161 megawatts of electricity – good enough to bring power to over 160,000 homes – based on data from the DOE. Earth Hour, now in its 20th year, returns to an in-person switch-off ceremony in Pasig, with sports official Mikee Cojuangco-Jaworski serving as ambassador. Earth Hour started in Sydney, Australia, in 2007.
