Dear
Members and Friends
If we as consumers and
businesses are to achieve a more
sustainable existence for
ourselves and for future
generations, we all need to
change our individual and
collective behaviour. This
year’s Earth Hour aims to
encourage positive action from
all of us. Earth Hour is
organized by the World Wildlife
Fund (WWF).
The two
components of the Earth Hour
Festival are:
• WWF Earth
Hour Festival @ Esplanade - 25
to 26 March 2023
- Including the symbolic Switch
Off of lights on 25 March at
8.30 pm
• WWF Movement -
Mobilising Communities &
Individuals - March to June 2023
Earth Hour Festival &
Switch Off:
Held at
the Esplanade, the Earth Hour
Festival is family friendly and
will be held over the weekend of
24 to 26 March 2023. The
switch-off is slated for 25th
March at 8.30 pm at The
Esplanade’s Outdoor Theatre.
WWF Earth Hour
Movement:
First
introduced during Earth Hour
2020, the aim of the Kosong Plan
is to encourage people to adopt
everyday actions to help our
climate using the concept of
‘living with less’. This year,
WWF presents the next evolution
of the Kosong Plan - ‘Kosong
Actions’ that each one of us can
undertake in our personal
journeys towards living a more
climate-conscious and
sustainable lifestyle. You can
show support by performing at
least one ‘Kosong Action’ per
week to help reach WWF’s global
goal of reducing the planet’s
temperature by 1.5°C.(Kosong is
Malay for “Plain” most often
used in Singapore to order black
tea or coffee without milk and
sugar.)
Be Part
Of The Movement!
We
invite all members and friends
to:
1. Switch off your lights
for an hour on 25 March at
8.30pm and
2. Submit your
individual and business Kosong
Plans
If you are
interested to get involved,
please register for the Switch

Thank you for your support and

act. It matters for you, your
children, your grandchildren and
your business.
Yours
faithfully
Victor Mills
Chief Executive
