Turning off the lights for an hour on
Saturday night saved some 95 Megawatt hours
of electricity in Costa Rica, as part of the
Earth Hour, an action against Global
Warming.
It is estimated that some 400.000 homes in
Costa Rica turned off their lights between
8:30pm and 9:30pm on Saturday.
The numbers were provided by the Instituto
Costarricense de Electricidad (ICE), the
state institute that provides electrical
service in the country.
