Canary Islands schools switch off for World Environment Day

Schools throughout the Canary Islands will be switching off the power for 10 minutes today to mark the event of World Environment Day. The initiative, organized by Ben Magec-Ecologistas en Acción (Ecologists in Action), counts on the support of the Education Council of the Canary Islands' Government.

As well as this activity, the ecologists are promoting various other activities today against climate change and in defence of the oceans, both in La Palma and Tenerife.
