The constant change in the conditions of our planet have had a negative impact on the environment. As a result in the wastage of electricity, food and water, the impact of deforestation, increased levels of pollution and the methods of waste disposal, have all resulted in a surge in climatic change with an adverse effect on our planet. Increasing levels of awareness of these detrimental changes have lead to the birth of Earth Hour in 2004. Year upon year, there has been surge in the level of support across the globe to want to make a difference in saving mother earth.
Every little bit makes a difference so here are some small tips for you all to follow at home:
- Switch of the lights and why not take the opportunity to splurge on a romantic candle lit dinner with your loved one
- Avoid the use of electronic equipment – television, kettle, dishwasher, hairdryer, toaster, washing machine, stereo, use the time to take a walk
- Minimize the wastage of water by switching off the tap when not needed whilst you brush your teeth, whilst washing dishes, whilst taking a shower
- Recycle waste such as glass, plastic, cans, paper and cardboard
Here at The Westin Mumbai Garden City, we will join millions of individuals, organizations, businesses and governments across the globe to celebrate our commitment to the ongoing change for the betterment of the one thing that unites us all – our planet. We will initiate various energy-saving measures including dimming or turning off non-essential interior and exterior lighting; candlelight dinners in restaurants and bars; carpooling and using of public transport by associates thereby saving fuel and reducing carbon emissions, tree plantation activity, candle light dinner in associate dining area just to name a few.
