fairmont hotel st andrews use a Proven 7 to tackle climate change
Fairmont Hotel St Andrews makes an innovative stance for Earth Hour by installing a temporary Proven 7 wind turbine on Saturday 28th March.
Aimed at high lighting climate change to world leaders this is set to be the largest mass event in history. World Wildlife Fund is asking individuals, businesses, governments and organisations around the world to turn off the lights for one hour, Earth Hour, to make a global statement of concern about climate change and to demonstrate commitment to finding solutions.
Faimont St Andrews is using an inventive method in convincing the world's leaders that it is possible to take positive action. The Proven 7 wind turbine will be powering some of the appliances at the hotel showing that carbon emissions can be cut in other ways, by using renewable energy.
Jonathan Titterton, director of facilities at Fairmont Hotel stated, “As well as switching off the lights the small wind turbine will be presented as an educational piece on the need for alternative energy sources in the light of low fossil reserves and a cleaner carbon footprint.”
Operations Manager, Richard Caldow from Proven Energy commented, “We have been assisting companies and individuals in reducing their carbon footprint for more than two decades now Fairmont Hotel is showing a fantastic commitment to the environment.”
Proven Energy has small wind turbines all around the world from powering the zero emission station in Antarctica to the street lights in a village in Mexico. This temporary turbine is used for events to teach end users that by installing a small wind turbine at their place of work or home they can cut emissions and even save money.
In 2008, 50 million people across 35 countries switched off their lights for one hour and Earth Hour 2009 already has 2,712 cities, towns and municipalities in 83 countries already committed.
