On Saturday March 22 at 8:30 p.m., Royal Resorts will be turning off the lights to observe Earth Hour. Organized by the WWF, this global campaign draws attention to the accelerating effects of climate change and biodiversity loss and the pressing need to do everything we can to protect our planet and work towards a better future. This year, the theme of Earth Hour is “Our Power, Our Planet” and it seeks to raise awareness about the importance of switching to renewable energy sources and sustainable development.
Earth Hour at Royal Resorts
Non-essential lights will be switched off around the resorts in Cancun, The Royal Haciendas and Grand Residences by Royal Resorts for one hour, we invite our members and guests to join in by dimming the lights in their villas and attending special Earth Hour activities.
