Earth Hour is a global movement encouraging people to take environmental action for the planet. This year, The Komu celebrated Earth Hour 2025 with a special event designed to promote sustainability, mindfulness, and environmental consciousness. On this occasion, The Komu offered an unforgettable evening for guests, filled with eco-friendly activities that embrace an eco-green lifestyle and a yoga session. Together, we created a series of engaging activities to encourage guests to connect with nature and take meaningful action for the environment.

Eco-Pounding Painting: A Creative Way to Connect with Nature

The night kicked off with Eco Pounding Painting. This creative session invited guests to make eco-friendly paintings using natural materials like leaves, flowers, and recycled items. Not only did this promote eco-consciousness, but it also gave guests the opportunity to explore their artistic side while reflecting on the importance of sustainability.

• What is Eco-Pounding Painting?
  It was a form of art where natural elements are used to create patterns and designs on canvas by pounding them into the fabric. The result was a beautiful, nature-inspired masterpiece that embodies the essence of sustainability and environmental awareness.

Pledge to Go Green: Turning Off the Lights for Earth Hour

At 8:30 PM, guests were invited to participate in the central moment of Earth Hour: turning off all non-essential lights for one hour. The Komu took it a step further by providing candles to create a serene atmosphere, symbolizing the collective action for the planet.

• 60+ for Earth Hour:
  The “60+” symbol represented the commitment of people around the world to turn off lights for one hour, from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM, to raise awareness about climate change and the importance of energy conservation.

Guests gathered at the hotel’s rooftop pool, surrounded by candlelight, to experience the power of collective action. This simple yet powerful gesture emphasizes that small changes could make a big difference in the fight against climate change.

Stargazing Yoga: Breathe in the Beauty of Nature

Following Earth Hour, the event continued with a serene Stargazing Yoga session. As the lights went out and the stars filled the sky, guests engaged in a peaceful yoga practice designed to help them reconnect with nature and center their minds.

• Breathing Exercises and Relaxing Postures:
  The session began with guided breathing exercises, encouraging guests to inhale and exhale deeply, releasing any tension. The yoga instructor then led the group through relaxing yoga postures, perfect for calming the mind and relaxing the body. The starlit sky served as the perfect backdrop for this tranquil experience, allowing participants to reflect on the beauty of nature and their role in protecting it.

A Commitment to Sustainability: What You Can Do

The Earth Hour event at The Komu was just the beginning. Here were simple actions guests could take to live more sustainably and reduce their environmental impact:

• Turn off lights and electronics when not in use.
• Opt for public transport, biking, or walking instead of driving.
• Reduce plastic waste by carrying reusable bottles and bags.
• Support sustainable businesses and eco-conscious brands.
• Conserve water by taking shorter showers and using water-efficient appliances.

Together, these small actions could lead to a big change!
