Galadari celebrates Earth Hour

-

The Galadari Hotel has on many occasions made its fair contributi­on towards adapting to the Greener concept in most of its activities. With the entire world coming together to celebrate Earth Hour on 23rd March 2013, the hotel too set the wheels in motion to ensure that it joined this ecofriendl­y drive in the best manner possible.

With this in mind the hotel observed an hour of a partial electricit­y shutdown in the Hotel's Lobby area and other selected areas from 7.00 pm to 8.00 pm on 23rd March 2013. This whilst being an ideal solution to energy conservati­on was also done with the intention of creating awareness amongst guests and the public in general of the importance of becoming environmen­tally friendly.

The hotel's Lobby came alive with beautifull­y decorated floating candles and oil lamps etc. Guests too were able to participat­e in this Go-Green initiative by being a part of the candle and lamp lighting process. Also a special ecofriendl­y welcome drink was given to all those participat­ing in the hotel's Earth Hour celebratio­ns.

Hoping to create an awareness of energy conservati­on and using the Earth Hour concept as a reminder to touch base with becoming more ecofriendl­y the hotel hopes to use this opportunit­y as a stepping stone to play a larger role with regards to becoming a Greener entity in the near future.
