Slow Food Earth Hour dinner
As the largest environmental event in history, Earth Hour asked
people and communities around the world to switch off their lights for
one hour as a silent but powerful statement about the effects of
human-accelerated climate change. Last year, more than 5,200 cities and
towns in 135 countries worldwide switched off their lights for Earth
Hour and thousands of individuals took advantage of the opportunity to
go “Beyond The Hour” to change their energy consumption habits for good.
Mount Lavinia Hotel who have been active in their green initiatives have
taken the Earth Hour celebrations which beyond the idea of it being a
trend.
“We at MLH have celebrated it three years running and the only way
Earth Hour can make a real difference is to recognize and celebrate the
fact that this is the greatest time to be alive, and to illuminate
global climate change,” GM Anura Dewapura said. We went beyond the hour
and made it an evening mixed with responsibility, sustainability and a
celebration of nature in its purest form.
The 30th Slow Food Night with Chef Riccardo at MLH was held as a
celebration to the significant hour of need and emphasized that it is
more than just switching off the lights for an hour. Slow Food is the
world’s largest single campaign in support of planet earth. |
