中國大飯店參與“地球一小時”
中國大飯店一直將保護環境、積極應對氣候變化視為己任，近日飯店將第四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31日晚8:30至9:30之間，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。
