Manila Pavilion joins Earth Hour
MANILA, Philippines - Manila Pavilion Hotel, in support of World Wide Fund for Nature’s Earth Hour 2014, joined thousands of businesses across the globe by switching off selected lights and encouraging in-house guests to turn off unnecessary lights in their rooms for an hour.
United with almost five million people in over 100 countries, Manila Pavilion took a remarkable step in helping mitigate the negative ecological impact of climate change when it conserved an estimated 576.98 kilowatt-hours or almost 60 percent of its total daily energy consumption during the hour-long power switch-off.
“We believe that this energy-saving pledge is a significant contribution in raising awareness on climate change issues among our colleagues in the hotel industry. In the same way, we were able to convey a strong message to other individuals and businesses to take responsible action and be actively involved in conservation efforts for the environment,†Manila Pavilion Hotel general manager Christopher Park said.
Manila Pavilion Hotel, which is part of the Waterfront chain of hotels, is located at United Nations Avenue corner Ma. Orosa St., Ermita, Manila. For inquiries or reservations, call 526-1212 or toll-free 1-800-10-WFRONT8 (9376688) or visit www.waterfronthotels.com.ph.
