WWF-Malaysia and Sunway Shopping Malls invite members of the public to show their concern about climate change by participating in Earth Hour, the largest global movement for the environment, led by the WWF Network.
This year, Earth Hour takes place on 31st March, from 8:30pm to 9:30pm, and members of the public are invited to join WWF-Malaysia at Sunway Pyramid for the countdown, participate in the “Dance in the Dark” for Earth Hour and enjoy a performance by the SnL singers. This year, the dancers will be accompanied by Air Symphony Wind Orchestra so no electricity will be used for the sound system. Find updates and a video of the dance steps at wwf.org.my.
“Climate change and environmental issues are no longer just the responsibility of NGOs and governments. Rightfully it is a joint responsibility by all. We are glad that Sunway Shopping Malls, Sunway Integrated Resort City and other Sunway properties are coming together as a collective group to support Earth Hour as we together we can achieve more. Collectively, these properties offer a wide platform to remind and educate the public to do their part in conserving the environment,” said Mr. HC Chan, Chief Executive Officer, Sunway Shopping Malls.
“We hope that by raising awareness about climate change through Earth Hour, we will start people on the first step towards more sustainable and energy efficient lifestyles. Since Earth Hour 2011, WWF-Malaysia has been urging everyone across the nation to take Earth Hour beyond the hour by signing up at wwf.org.my and pledging to “Live Green: One switch at a time” towards more sustainable lifestyles. The more people who make this pledge, the more powerful our efforts to protect our living planet become,” said WWF-Malaysia Executive Director/CEO Dato’ Dr Dionysius Sharma.
He also expressed a hope that individuals and corporations will continue to support the conservation efforts of NGOs like WWF-Malaysia. Around the world, WWF works with communities, governments and businesses to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect natural ecosystems and species, and restore degraded habitats. Nationally, WWF-Malaysia focuses on the following key areas: protection of forests and seas, public awareness and education as well as policy advocacy.
