As part of its ongoing efforts to implement energy-saving practices, McDonald's Canada will be actively supporting Earth Hour. By cutting lights for one hour on March 28 the chain could save more than 10,000 kWh in electricity usage, the same amount of energy the average Canadian household uses in a year. This is the second year that McDonald's is taking part in Earth Hour.
Earth Hour is a global initiative led by World Wildlife Fund to inspire people to take action on climate change. While all participating McDonald's restaurants will remain open and fully operational, for one full hour road signs and roof beams will be darkened at each location as they show their support by cutting down on their electricity usage.
