Joining millions across the globe on March 19, Radisson Blu Dhaka Water Garden demonstrated its commitment to protecting the planet by switching to energy preservation mode from 8:30pm to 9:30pm. An hour in darkness was observed by switching off all the lights in the building, along with non-essential equipments and machineries such as desk computers, pool pumps, boilers, chillers, fans, and air conditioners. The atrium lobby lights were dimmed and candles were the only source of light. Guests were encouraged to take part by switching off their room lights, dining in a candle-lit ambience and refrain from using any form of energy for the full 60 minutes. Earth Hour, the world’s largest and most inspiring environmental grassroots movement, sponsored by WWF (World Wildlife Foundation), and instigates everyone to do something as simple as switching off lights to save energy. The world’s iconic landmarks go dark for one designated hour to support the stimulating cause. As an integral part of this beautiful planet, Radisson Blu Dhaka Water Garden initiates such activities to promote less wastage, reduce its carbon footprint and use the earth’s limited resources sensibly to prevent them from getting exhausted.
