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.
