Since 2009, Georgia has joined the large-scale environmental movement, organised by the World Wildlife Fund, to encourage individuals, communities, and businesses to “give an hour for Earth” by turning off non-essential electric lights on buildings of economic, political and cultural importance and to show symbolic support for the planet.
Georgia has joined the annual global campaign of Earth Hour by switching off lights for an hour last night to contribute to saving energy. Georgia was one of the 188 countries and territories worldwide that joined Earth Hour 2019 to speak up for nature and inspire urgent action for the environment.
