On 30th March 2019 we celebrate Earth Hour – whereby people and businesses worldwide are encouraged to switch off their power at the same time for one hour. This annual worldwide movement was started by the WWF as a lights-off event in Sydney, Australia in 2007.
Since the first event, it has captured the imagination of those throughout the world. In 2018 more than 180 countries and territories worldwide took part, and more than 17,900 landmarks & monuments switched off their lights.
Hotels worldwide also get involved in Earth Hour. It is a great way to engage guests with your sustainability initiatives and create a sense of fun! Turning off the lights & using candles in restaurant and bar areas makes for a great atmosphere. Plus it also serves the purpose of raising awareness on all your other CSR efforts with both staff as well as guests. WWF has information & resources for hotels to get involved.
At Considerate we would love to hear about how you got involved! Share your photos, your posts, your stories, initiatives and any guest feedback.
Earth Hour 2019 is on 30 March 2019, 8:30 pm / 20.30 local time.
