Wuhan, China, 23 March 2024 — On the evening of March 23, Marco Polo Wuhan participated in Earth Hour by reducing lighting in hotel public areas and launching the "Save Green, Coffee Grounds Cycle Program" to promote a healthy lifestyle and advocate for the planet.

Earth Hour is a global energy-saving initiative proposed by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) in response to global climate change. WWF advocates that on the last Saturday of March each year at 20:30 local time, individuals, communities, businesses, and governments voluntarily participate in turning off unnecessary lighting and power-consuming products for one hour to show their concern for nature conservation and support for environmental protection.

Hotel’s “Save Green, Coffee Grounds Cycle Program” runs from 10:00 am to 9:00 pm on March 21-23. Guests can collect free coffee grounds at The Verandah on the second floor of the hotel. Coffee grounds can remove odours, exfoliate skin, and be used to grow plants.

On Saturday, March 23rd, from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm, Marco Polo Wuhan remained minimal lighting in the public areas of the hotel. Hotel guests are invited to join us in this initiative by switching off unnecessary power-consuming devices in their rooms during this time to demonstrate their support for global action on climate change. Additionally, guests can visit The Verandah on the second floor of the hotel to witness the recycling of coffee grounds and pot plants free of charge and dedicate an hour to the Earth.

Marco Polo Wuhan is dedicated to promoting a healthy lifestyle and sustainable consumption. The hotel is committed to using sustainable resources and reducing carbon emissions. This includes responsible procurement, efficient use of food ingredients, and encouraging guests to order food in moderation. Additionally, the hotel participates in the Empty Plate Campaign and focuses on the scientific and effective use of energy and materials such as water, electricity, and paper to contribute to environmental protection and sustainable development. This reflects the hotel's corporate social responsibility and commitment to advocating for sustainable practices. 

Marco Polo Wuhan has been awarded the gold certification by EarthCheck, the world's leading scientific benchmarking organization, for two consecutive years. As a socially and environmentally responsible company, the hotel is committed to sustainable development and aims to protect the planet while expanding its business.
