It has been the trend for Verizon as well as its employees worldwide to take part in the Earth Hour movement since 2010, and their effort also includes helping out the World Wildlife Fund to promote sustainable living, and at the same time, expand energy-efficiency awareness, while making a stand against climate change.
Other parts that Verizon has played include promoting sustainability in its employee culture, encouraging participation in Earth Hour in addition to community-environment events. Do you think doing so is more of a statement of intent, and would the amount of energy saved overall be more than the amount expended to promote Earth Hour to the masses in the first place? Food for thought – if there is no follow up to the efforts made on Earth Hour for the rest of the year, it is pretty much a wasted effort. [Press Release]
