Last night a few of us at Greensense went down to the foreshore in South Perth with some excellent pizza and a drop of red wine to watch the city lights go out as Perth participated in Earth Hour.
For the owners and managers of the big office buildings, Earth Hour seems to be all about the big, bright building signage. Turn that off and all is well, even if the lights inside are still blazing. Many of the buildings employed the low risk strategy of not bothering to turn on the signs at all! Others, like the AMP building, were a little late flicking the swtich, but most got there in the end.
The challenge for these building managers and their tenants is to extend their positive actions beyond these high profile events. By the time everyone is back at work on Monday, the Earth Hour posters in the offices will have been taken down and it’ll be business as usual.
We look a few photos and have put them together into a short movie. I hope you like it.
