On Saturday, CITGO Petroleum Corporation joined more than 70 local businesses, government agencies, universities, colleges, hotels, and museums, as well as hundreds of residents and small businesses, in observing Earth Hour 2010.
Organized by the World Wildlife Fund, Earth Hour took place on March 27 from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Participants from 400 cities turned off all non-essential lights during the hour to reduce energy and show their commitment to the environment.
“By joining Earth Hour for the second consecutive year, CITGO reaffirms its commitment to environmental protection as one of the company’s core values, in alignment with principles in support of an efficient use of our energy resources, which are endorsed by our parent company, Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA),” the company said in a statement.
