The City Council in Archena (GMS) has been added to the campaign "Earth Hour", an initiative launched by the NGO WWF ADENA with the aim of pushing through the Network, citizen involvement, organizations, institutions, governments and businesses in the fight against climate change.

"Earth Hour" is an event which aims to more than one million people and 6,000 cities around the world to unite, on 26 March and for one hour (20:30 to 21:30), " turn off lights and electrical equipment, "and claiming the need to reach an international commitment to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and curb the climate change process, which has already started and will have dire consequences if not reversed, "said municipal spokesman GMS, Juan Pedro López Juárez.

Juan Pedro Lopez has announced further that "although in Spain there are already many cities that have joined this initiative, and are committed to turning off lights in public buildings and monuments, the GMS, has presented an urgent request Archena City Council to join this initiative and show their commitment and that of its citizens to the environment and combating climate change. "

For him, "participate in this global action involves making a small gesture that can get great results. In the last year have made significant progress in the fight against climate change, thanks to agreements reached by the main leaders in the world at the Cancun Summit, an agreement we have contributed millions of citizens, with actions such as "Earth Hour" have demanded to be committed

and implement the necessary means to begin to slow at first, and then reverse this process. "

"So we want to appeal to Archena citizens and public administrations to participate and demonstrate their acting in a unified and seamless, its commitment to combating climate change, and that the level of demand has not fallen" .

"But also, we believe this new edition of Earth Hour must also serve to vindicate a paradigm shift energy by involving all of a firm for renewable energy as the only way to stop climate change and ensure survival of the planet as we know it today. "

"Over the last few years have seen a resurgence of nuclear power advocates, among which may include the right of our country, a PP on the one hand denies climate change, and secondly, displaying an unlimited demagoguery capacity, commitment to nuclear energy as a means to stop it. A right has tried to hide the dangers of this type of energy, and dares to call the Socialists outdated by betting on renewables. "

"What happened in Japan has once again put on the table the dangers of nuclear energy. And now, the PP is silent and avoids comment on his real plans, not because they changed their minds, but for now it suits them not to disclose to the public their real intentions, "said Juan Pedro Lopez.

"The Government and the PSOE have already made clear its position on nuclear energy, and believe it is imperative that the PP to explain to citizens what their position, to tell us what to do in the case to the Government, that citizens to decide accordingly. "
