toronto: Congratulations Toronto on your Earth Day 2012 Power Reduction! - 04/01/12 07:21 AM
Congratulations Toronto on your Earth Day 2012 Power Reduction!
Congratulations to City of Toronto residents for your participation in Earth Day 2012.  The Toronto Star reported that Toronto Hydro announced that power usage was down 6.8% during Earth Hour.  This is an impressive improvement over 2011's Earth Hour when usage dropped by 5%.
In 2013, perhaps Toronto can do better and match the 10% drop that occurred in 2010 or the 15% drop in 2009.
Over 6,494 cities, including 511 Canadian cities and towns, in 150 countries participated in the sixth annual Earth Hour.
