中國大飯店一直將保護環境、積極應對氣候變化視為己任，近日飯店將第二年參與由世界自然基金會發起的“地球一小時”活動，為挽救地球氣候貢獻自己的一份力量。

     今年3月27日晚8:30至9:30之間，北京中國大飯店將關閉大部分員工區域的照明設備，並將公共區域、餐廳及酒店外觀的照明調暗；也將鼓勵下榻的客人積極參與，在客房內關掉各種照明設備。

     參與“地球一小時”僅僅是北京中國大飯店保護環境舉措中的一小部分。飯店還執行了“綠色計劃”，明確各項措施減少浪費，杜絕破壞環境的行為，普及和提高環境保護意識；更換節能燈泡、采用可生物降解的原料、安裝節水設備、通過汙水處理設備保護水源，盡可能從各方麵做到環保。

CHINA WORLD HOTEL SUPPORTS EARTH HOUR

     Demonstrating its commitment to protecting the environment and mitigating climate change, China World Hotel, Beijing, a leading luxury hote, announced that it will participate for a second consecutive year in Earth Hour, a global Worldwide Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF) climate change initiative.

     On 27 March, between 8:30 and 9:30 p.m., China World Hotel will turn off their lights in most back-of-the-house areas and dim the lights in public areas, restaurants and hotel exteriors. Guests will be encouraged to participate by turning off the lights in their guestrooms.

     Participating in Earth Hour is only one small part of China World Hotel’s environmental. The hotel has implemented Green Programmes to identify ways to reduce wastage, eradicate practices that damage the environment and generally promote environmental awareness. Examples of these practices include using energy-saving light bulbs and biodegradable cleaning materials, water restrictors, and sewage treatment facilities to prevent water pollution.
