ARSENAL NEWS: EMIRATES STADIUM LIGHTS TO GO OFF TONIGHT
HabbeyMar 25, 2017
Arsenal Football Club, in conjunction with United Kingdom’s Octopus Energy will be observing a lights out campaign at the Emirates Stadium this evening from 8:30pm in support of the campaign against global warming.
Octopus Energy is the UK’s largest investor in solar, responsible for 40% of Britain’s large scale solar power and more than 220 solar projects.
Arsenal stated that tonight’s activity is in support of the Earth Hour campaign for climate change and it is understood it will go beyond the hour with the Gunners commitment to sustainable energy with official Club Partner Octopus Energy.
Earth Hour is a global movement that calls for greater action on climate change. Each year millions of people around the world come together for an hour to host events, switch lights off and raise awareness around climate change action.
The carbon reduction for Emirates Stadium in a year is around 2,320,000kg per year which is the equivalent of the weight of 183 London double decker buses.
“By joining millions around the world in turning off our lights, we want to show our support for action on climate change. But it has to go further than that,” Arsenal Deputy Stadium Manager Michael Lloyd said.
