Earth Hour 2014 begins at Sheraton Shenzhou Peninsula Complex Resort
As pollution makes headlines more and more frequently, many hotels in and around Sanya have marked their commitment to environmental conservation as they joined in commemorating Earth Hour 2014 on March 29.
Sheraton Shenzhou Peninsula Complex Resort embraces the Earth Hour 2014 with the launch of green bike campaign to encourage this environmentally friendly transport on March 29.
At 8:00am on March 29, Sheraton Shenzhou Peninsula Complex Resort has taken the green two-wheel approach to encourage more people to ride bicycles instead with the purpose to reduce exhaustion to protect the environment.
"We hope that green bike will inspire guests to take simple steps that create an effective control of air quality pollution and heavy smog solution," said Douglas Brennan, the General Manager of Sheraton Shenzhou Peninsula Complex Resort. It has been the second consecutive year the hotel has participated in the campaign.
At night, the hotel marked the Earth Hour by turning off the non-essential lighting for one hour from 8:30pm to 9:30pm in public areas, restaurants and hotel’s exteriors.
