As the largest environmental event in history, Earth Hour asked people and communities around the world to switch off their lights for one hour as a silent but powerful statement about the effects of human-accelerated climate change. Many individuals took advantage of the opportunity by going “Beyond The Hour” in order to change their energy consumption habits for good.
The 30th Slow Food Night at MLH was held in conjunction to the significant hour. “The only way Earth Hour can make a real difference is to recognise and celebrate the fact that this is the greatest time to be alive, and to illuminate global climate change,” stated Anura Dewapura, General Manager – MLH who is also the initiator of the Slow Food Chapter in Sri Lanka.
