Reflections Holiday Parks to demonstrate sustainability commitment through Earth Hour

In a demonstation of their commitment to sustainability and positive actions towards a better planet, Reflections Holiday Parks across NSW will be turning off all non-essential lighting during this year’s Earth Hour initiative.

Reflections Holiday Parks will be encouraging its guests to turn off all non-essential lighting across its 37 parks between 8:30pm-9:30pm this Saturday, 26th of March. Last year 192 countries participated in Earth Hour with a record number of Australians taking part.

Reflections Holiday Parks Chief Executive, Nick Baker said Earth Hour was an important global initiative which had profound impacts on the planet and raised awareness on the importance of saving energy and caring for nature.

“We operate under a quadruple bottom line, where sustainability and positive environmental outcomes are a significant measure of our success as a group of holiday parks,” Baker said.

“We believe that turning off our lights, for even one hour, will result in a considerable reduction in energy usage and savings across our parks.

“This year’s Earth Hour theme to ‘Shape Our Future’ aligns with Reflections’ values to make a difference in the lives of people, places and our planet.

“As a leading nature-driven escapes organisation it is important to us to care for the natural environment and we are committed to partnering with our guests this Saturday to achieve better energy outcomes.”

Reflections Holiday Parks is in the process of changing over to smart metering for all its holiday parks across NSW to ensure an accurate calculation of energy costs across the group and for more transparency into its energy usage.

Operations Manager Allan Thomas advised “we look forward to reducing our carbon footprint during Earth Hour, at the same time ensuring our guests are enjoying our parks in a safe environment.”

As part of Earth Hour celebrations, Reflections Holiday Parks will be sharing links to the Earth Hour Film Festival for its guests to gain a better understanding of energy consumption and reducing human impact on the planet.
