CapitaLand Earth Hour 2023
Everyone has the power to shape our future
On 25 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 2023!
CapitaLand is participating in Earth Hour again this year, where 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).
Want to join us in making a change? Start by switching off all non-essential lights at home!
More simple reminders for you to try out below.
- Actively switch it off
Many of our electrical appliances are constantly connected to the power sockets even when they are not in use. Switching off standby power when not in use can help to save around S$25 a year!
Switch off storage water heater after use to save about S$124 a year.
- Before it drips, turn it off
Up to 6 litres of water is wasted for every minute a tap runs, what more your shower! Turn off the shower and tap when soaping and brushing your teeth or use a mug to hold the water for rinsing your mouth.
Install adaptors to your water points to aerate your taps and showers. By introducing air into your water, you use less water while achieving the same water pressure.
- Choose no waste
About 40% of fruits and vegetables are wasted because they look ugly. Try them out for yourself and see that they can be as nutritious and tasty.
Do up a shopping list to avoid buying more than you need.
