“SM’s celebration of Earth Hour is more than an annual tradition of turning off the lights, but also a platform where we hope people can understand their great role as stewards of the environment,”
Earth Hour started in 2007 at Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million individuals and more than 2,000 businesses turned off their lights off for one hour from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. to take a stand against climate change. Only a year later, Earth Hour had become a global sustainability movement with more than 50 million people across 35 countries participating.
Aside from joining Earth Hour, SM malls has long championed on energy efficiency and sustainable practices such as water conservation, solid-waste management, and environmental programs by SM Cares.
