Earth Hour 2014: Use Your Power & Go Beyond the Hour

 

 

 

1515/1555 Poydras & the JLL Management Team are working towards A Cleaner Tomorrow! We will be playing a vital role in Earth Hour 2014 and you can help us not only participate in Earth Hour but to also Go Beyond the Hour to have a Cleaner Tomorrow too!

 

1515/1555 plans to show our support for our planet. We are challenging our Tenants and Vendors to take part in their very own Earth Hour!  This is not just to save power for an hour, but it’s a change of attitude and lifestyle.  If we, along with billions of others around the world express our concern over our ecological crisis & climate change and be a bit more environmentally friendly, the planet will be a much better place during our lives and our children’s lives.

 

How do you participate?

Now – April 4^th

Prior to Earth Hour, 1515/1555 Poydras Buildings and JLL Management will Use our Power and Go Beyond the Hour by hosting a BEAD DRIVE.

Beginning March 13^th through April 4^th, Tenants and Vendors are encouraged to bring in those unwanted Mardi Gras Beads to be recycled and donated to ARC of Greater New Orleans.

ARC is a 501K organization that provides various services throughout the entire Greater New Orleans community including Early Intervention, Family Services Coordination, Respite, Personal Care, Employment/Habilitation and Supported Living assistance.

Arc asks for donations of beads and throws from area residents that are then sorted, packaged by people with intellectual disabilities and sold to float riders in 30-pound crawfish sacks. JLL is asking for your help to assist Arc of GNO and the Sierra Club as they recycle Mardi Gras beads, trinkets, and stuffed animals for the Carnival Seasons, and keep them out of the landfills!!

What is Earth Hour?

 

Earth Hour 2014 will be held on Saturday 29 March between 8:30PM and 9:30PM in your local time zone. The event is held worldwide towards the end of March annually, encouraging individuals, communities households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights for one hour as a symbol for their commitment to the planet. Earth Hour goes a step further by incorporating Earth Hour Blue, which asks participants to go beyond the hour and create other ways of making your community more sustainable.

 

The JLL Management Team thanks everyone who plans to take part—and to everyone who continues to support the environment to help ensure a sustainable future for our families, our firms and our planet.
