Earth Day is a set on a date on which events are held worldwide to increase awareness and appreciation of the earth’s natural environment. Earth Day is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network and is celebrated in more than 192 countries every year.
More than 1 billion people worldwide participated in green acts around the globe during the Earth every year, sending a powerful message for action on climate change.
Best Dives Maldives and Outrigger Ozone has decided to carry out acts of green thought on 22nd of April:
- 15:00: Lagoon/reef and beach cleaning will be carried out in our house reef with the collaboration of any volunteer Guests and Outrigger staff to clear the area of floating debris or other trash from the sea bottom. All hard work paid off with fresh coconut. Best Dives Team will provide snorkelling equipment.
- 16:00: Kids club activity: “Sand sculptures on the beach”.
- 21:00: Movie “Home” by Yann Arthus-Bertrand at Ozone Lounge.
The key of the “Earth from Above” and of “Home” is to show the beauty of the planet, and thereby to promote love for it (Yann Arthus-Bertrand).
“What do we know about life on Earth? How many species are we aware of? A tenth of them? A hundredth perhaps? What do we know about the bonds that link them?
The Earth is a miracle. Life remains a mystery. Every species has a role to play, every species has its place. None is futile or harmful. They all balance out.
We will switch off for 1-hour non-essential lights, air conditioning units and other equipment. Our guests will be requested to support this act on a voluntary basis from 19:30 till 20:30 on 22 April 2017.
During this hour in the Host area’ playground write with candles: “CARING OF OUR HOME-EARTH”.
