WWF is now organizing “Earth Hour 2013” to raise public awareness on climate change. At 8:30pm on March 23 (Saturday), Hong Kong will join other cities across the world to switch off their lights for one hour to promote awareness and urge for action on climate change.

As in the past years, The Chinese University of Hong Kong will support the global campaign to show our commitment to combat climate change. During Earth Hour, the decorative flood lighting at the following locations will be switched off:

• Crooked Bridge and Arch Bridge at Lake Excellentiam of Chung Chi College
• Pavilion of Harmony at New Asia College
• New Asia and United College Water Towers
• The lawn outside Adam Schall Residence, the roof garden of TC Cheng Building, the lawn outside Wu Chung Multi-media Library, 1/F podium of Chan Chun Ha Hostel, the signage of Cheung Chuk Shan Amenities Building at United College
• Herbal Garden, common areas of student hostels at Shaw College
• College plaque facing University Avenue, roof of Chan Chun Ha Hall, lawn of 1/F hostels, open plaza of Lee Quo Wei Hall, ceiling lights of hostel reception at G/F at S.H. Ho College
