CapitaLand Earth Hour 2022
_FINAL.jpg.transform/cap-midres/image.jpg)
We can all play our part for planet earth!
On 26 March 2022, CapitaLand properties around the world will take part in World Wide Fund for Nature's (WWF) Earth Hour movement, at 8.30pm (local time).
Join CapitaLand’s Earth Hour Campaign 2022!
This Earth Hour, CapitaLand properties will show their support for the planet and fight against climate change by switching off their façade lights and non-essential lighting throughout the night, beginning at 8.30pm (local time).
Not sure where to start? Take that first step and join us by switching off all non-essential lights at home!
You can also do more by trying out some of these simple tips below.
- Waste Less and Dispose Well
- The world is producing twice as much plastic waste as two decades ago. Switch to using resusable cutleries, containers and bags – it’s just a matter of getting used to it!
- A record high of 53.6 million tonnes of electronic waste was generated in 2019 globally, equivalent to the weight of 350 cruise ships! Repair your electronic equipment where possible, donate those in working condition or recycle them at designated e-waste bins!
- Save Every Drop
- Water covers about 71% of earth’s surface but only about 0.5% of that is usable fresh water. Take shorter showers, don’t let the tap run while brushing your teeth and wash your clothes on full load – remember that every drop counts!
- Cut down your shower by a minute and save nine litres of water!
- Lower Your Carbon Footprint
- The transport sector contributes approximately one quarter of all energy related greenhouse gas emissions as it is predominantly based on the combustion of fossil fuels. Walk or cycle to lower your carbon footprint and enjoy the sights along the way!
- Switch to public transport as a car with a driver uses 9 times the energy used by a bus and 12 times that of a train on a per passenger-kilometre travelled basis.
