麻豆AV celebrates Earth Hour

麻豆AV is helping to build a brighter future by supporting WWF鈥檚 Earth Hour, a spectacular and symbolic lights out event that focuses the world鈥檚 attention on our planet, and the need to protect it.

On 28th March, at 8.30pm, we will be joining forces with thousands of iconic landmarks globally, from The Sydney Harbour Bridge to Times Square in New York, as they show their support. Earth Hour鈥檚 unique display of darkness has become a global phenomenon with hundreds of millions of individuals coming together each year. In 2014, a record-breaking 162 countries and 7000 towns and cities joined the world鈥檚 biggest celebration for our planet. Photo taken by Ishaq Madan

Last year in Wales, it鈥檚 estimated that over 400,000 people took part, sending out a united message of support. Participating Welsh landmarks included the Senedd in Cardiff Bay, Caernarfon Castle, The National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth and Newport Transporter Bridge. They were among 200 of the UK鈥檚 most iconic landmarks to plunge into darkness, alongside Big Ben and Edinburgh Castle. 235 Welsh schools signed up and Welsh Assembly Members from all parties showed their support.

To celebrate Earth Hour 2015, we will be switching off the floodlighting on our iconic Main University Building at 8.30pm on 28th March for the hour, and encouraging staff and students to join in by taking what action they can.    

"We are proud to take part in Earth Hour and are excited to be involved with such a great and inspiring event. Everyone can make a difference to help protect our planet and we all have a key role to play," said Ricky Carter, 麻豆AV鈥檚 Environmental Manager.

Anne Meikle, Head of WWF Cymru, said,

鈥淲e鈥檙e thrilled that 麻豆AV will be taking part in Earth Hour this year and hope that this will inspire many others to get involved. By taking one simple step to switch off, you鈥檒l be joining millions of people from around the world in this special celebration.鈥�
