More than 3,000 Verizon employees around the globe will join the Earth Hour movement on Saturday, the 29th March, 2014. Starting at 8:30 p.m., Verizon and its employees have pledged to turn off lights for one hour at approximately 550 Verizon buildings and 3,000 Verizon employee homes across roughly 40 countries, helping to raise energy-efficiency awareness and promote sustainable living.
James Gowen, Chief Sustainability Officer, Verizon, said, “Earth Hour provides each of us with a chance to not only act as greener citizens, but to also share and influence others to live greener lives. With Verizon Green Team members located across the globe, we are motivated and mobilizing for fifth straight year to work green and live green in honour of Earth Hour.”
Verizon is encouraging its employees to participate in Earth Hour. When Verizon employees pledge to participate from home, they are given a choice of voting via the World Wildlife Fund to symbolically adopt one of several endangered animals. For every 100 votes cast, Verizon will symbolically adopt one of those animals through a donation to the WWF.
