Switching off lights for 60 minutes during Earth Hour is a pragmatic action to save the environment and shape a green future for a sustainable Vietnam, according to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE).
Vietnam has saved 309,000 kWh of electricity, which is worth 576.1 million VND (25,197 USD) by switching off the lights for one hour in response to Earth Hour 2022, according to the Vietnam Electricity (EVN).
A hybrid nationwide ceremony has been held by the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources to kick start a series of events to mark World Water Day, World Meteorological Day, and Earth Hour 2022, all to be celebrated this month.
Close to 500 young volunteers joined a cycling held by the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (HCYU) chapter in HCM City on March 13 to kick start this year’s Earth Hour campaign.
