Scott Base to participate in Earth Hour
The team members at Scott Base in the Antarctic will be participating in Earth Hour next weekend.
They will switch off as many lights as they can, although they will need to keep some safety lighting on. They will be switching off all computers, radios, and TVs. They won’t be able to switch off their heating, as temperatures are around minus 30 degrees these days in Scott Base.
Scott Base winter mechanic Grant Hill says:
We are keen in whatever way to do whatever we can as far as energy conservation goes. The base runs very energy efficiently anyway, but we thought it would be a good thing to get on board with.
