According to the IESO, Earth Hour
, which occurred at 8:30-9:30 pm ET last night, saved 920 MW in Ontario, about 6% and a percentage point more than last year. Toronto reduced its energy use this year by 16 per cent, almost twice last year's number.
Earth Hour was started two years ago in Australia by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). This year the United Nations observed Earth Hour for the fist time including its headquarters in New York and at other UN facilities around the world.
