Galway to go for a blackout next week?

Could Galway be in for a blackout next week? The Minister for the Environment John Gormley certainly hopes so as he is calling on Galwegians to take part in Earth Hour 2010.

The Minister is urging everyone in Ireland to join with one billion people around the globe to take part in Earth Hour on Saturday March 27 from 8.30pm to 9.30pm by turning off the lights in their homes and businesses as a symbolic action against climate change.

“I’m hoping people will not only turn off their lights for an hour. I hope people will make a decision to make a permanent change,” said Minister Gormley.

“The key message is that people can make the difference at home, at work, and at play, if sufficient numbers want to change their own attitudes and behaviour and lead more environmentally sustainable lives.”
