ASSEMBLY Member Nick Ramsay is urging people, organisations and businesses in his Monmouth constituency to join him in signing up for this year’s Earth Hour.

At 8.30pm on Saturday, March 28, hundreds of millions of people across the globe are expected to turn off their lights for an hour, to show they care about the future of the planet.

Mr Ramsay, who attended a WWF Cymru event in the Senedd earlier this week, said: "I‘m proud to take part in WWF’s Earth Hour and to be part of such a great and inspiring global event. Everyone can make a difference to help protect our planet.”

“I urge everyone in Monmouthshire to sign up to Earth Hour online and switch off their lights at 8.30pm on March 28.”

Anne Meikle, head of WWF Cymru, said: “I’m delighted that Nick is supporting Earth Hour. It’s vital that our National Assembly has a key role to play in leading by example on protecting the environment. Please sign up for Earth Hour and switch off on the night.”
