DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Sunday, April 6th 2014 [ME NewsWire]
Two of Dubai’s prominent shopping and leisure destinations, Arabian Center and Lamcy Plaza, marked Earth Hour 2014 from 8.30pm to 9.30pm on Saturday, March 29, by switching off all non-essential external and internal lighting and appliances. However, the mall was spectacularly awash with the brilliant luminescence of hundreds of eco-friendly glow-in-the-dark sticks.
On the occasion, Mr. Tim Jones, COO, Arabian Center and Lamcy Plaza, said, “Both malls owned and managed by the Lals Group were supporting the global initiative to raise awareness on energy conservation and climate change. We thank our patrons for joining us at the mall to express their solidarity in an eco-friendly and breath-taking manner.
“Our participation in the Earth Hour is to express our unstinted support to Dubai Government’s efforts for protecting the environment, promoting sustainable development in the Emirate and strengthening the international standing of Dubai in the field of environmental sustainability,” he added.
“Over the past years, by marking Earth Hour, we have been able to strengthen awareness on the need to protect our environment and conserve our resources. For us, the relevance of Earth Hour is not limited to the single hour when we switch off all unnecessary lights and electrical appliances. We believe that the one hour of energy use efficiency that Earth Hour promotes will encourage people to make it an intrinsic part of their lifestyle throughout the year.” Mr. Jones stressed.
