The organisation board has also launched a design contest to seek creative ideas to raise public awareness of climate change adaptation and effective energy usage.
Vietnam saved 431,000 kWh of electricity, equivalent to around 650 million VND (30,550 USD) thanks to citizens turning off unnecessary lights and electrical equipment from 8.30-9.30pm on March 29, during the 2014 Earth Hour campaign.
