OLYMPIA LONDON TO TURN OFF 10,000 LIGHTS FOR WWF'S EARTH HOUR
It will be lights out for Olympia London on Saturday 25th March as, for the ninth year, the iconic venue plans to turn off all of its 10,000 lights—which are powered by 100% green energy—as part of WWF's Earth Hour initiative. Â
In partnership with Ideal Home Show, who will be in tenancy at the time, Olympia London will join other London landmarks such as Big Ben and Buckingham Palace in darkness between 8:30pm and 9:30pm.Â
Sustainability Manager at Olympia London, Siân Richards said, “We are very proud to be taking part in Earth Hour once again. It is a wonderful initiative for turning the world's attention to our planet and the need to care for it for future generations. As home to more than 220 shows a year, we recognise our part in leading by example and encouraging the event industry to look towards a greener, more sustainable future.â€'
