Tomorrow, Saturday, March 26th, is the 5th Annual Earth Hour that will be celebrated across the globe. Organized by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), individuals and businesses are asked to turn off non-essential lights and electricity for an hour starting at 8:30PM (local time zone) to raise awareness around the importance of taking action against climate change.
The growing participation of Hyatt Hotels in this awareness campaign mirrors the exponential growth of the Earth Hour itself. Started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia, the first event involved 2.2 million individuals and over 2,000 businesses turning off lights to demonstrate their commitment to mitigating climate change. Last year's Earth Hour was the largest so far, with participants from over 128 countries, including individuals, businesses, and iconic landmarks.
Whether you are able to join in Earth Hour at your hotel or at your home, we encourage you to take this opportunity to consider the important of simple actions such as turning off lights. To learn more about Earth Hour, please visit http://www.earthhour.org/
