Earth Hour in Moscow
Moscow to run on pedal power for Earth Hour http://themoscownews.com/local/20130319/191356994/Moscow-to-run-on-pedal-power-for-Earth-Hour.html by Joe West for The Moscow News 19/03/2013 A bike run between Moscow’s Filevsky and Gorky parks is to be held this year on Saturday, March 23, in conjunction with the World Wildlife Fund’s (WWF) annual initiative “Earth Hour,” the head of the city’s department for nature management and environmental protection Anton Kulbachevsky announced on Tuesday.
The goal of the worldwide campaign is to draw attention to saving energy, but on a more local level Kulbachevsky believes the cycle run can also raise the profile of environmentally friendly transportation use in the city.“Participants will be using one of the green cycle routes due to open in Moscow this year. It’s a very important campaign for both our residents and for cycling.”
This will be the sixth time that Moscow has been involved in Earth Hour, a project which was conceived in 2007 and has previously seen cities across the globe turning off their lights in support.
