With the slogan "We have 8,760 hours a year to light up the planet," the public used luminescent paint to list their daily efforts in favour of environmental protection on a giant mural.
With a special event that made the most of the absence of artificial light, as in previous years Bonaire supported "The Hour of the Planet" initiative, promoted by the WWF, whose aim of to heighten public awareness about and combat climate change.
So, on 23 March, Bonaire turned off the lights of its façade from 8.30-9.30pm, during which Monkey Business painted the shopping centre’s logo and that of the initiative in fluorescent paint, lit only by black light, accompanied by the live performance of a batucada band.
With the slogan "We have 8,760 hours a year to light up the planet," the public used luminescent paint to list their daily efforts in favour of environmental protection on a giant mural, while the children participated in the initiative through a handmade candle workshop.
The one-hour event, organized by the shopping centre’s management and the agency Porter Novelli, attracted a large number of passersby who watched the mural unfolding and members of the public writing their messages in fluorescent paint, while enjoying the musical entertainment.
