Over 20 key landmarks in South Korea will participate in an energy conservation awareness event later Friday by turning off their lights for five minutes in the evening, the industry ministry said. A total of 24 locations, including the Seoul City Hall building, the National Assembly, and Busan Tower in the country's southeastern port city of Busan, will turn their lights off for five minutes at 9 p.m.
According to Yonhap News Agency, the event is part of a campaign arranged on the occasion of the 22nd Energy Day, created by the Korea NGO's Energy Network, one of the biggest coalitions of energy-related civic groups. "We need the efforts from the government level as well as those from individual citizens to tackle climate change," said Second Vice Industry Minister Lee Ho-hyeon. "Every little effort to save energy could help in tackling the climate crisis."
