Toronto was one of 6,494 cities in 150 countries — 511 in Canada alone — to participate in sixth annual event Saturday night, with millions worldwide flicking off the lights in an effort to raise awareness about conserving energy and combating climate change.
But the city saw just a 6.8 per cent drop in power use throughout the hour, according to Toronto Hydro. While it’s an improvement over the dismal 5 per cent reduction last year, it falls short of the 10 per cent drop in 2010 and is less than half of the 15 per cent reduction in 2009.
