Earth Hour 2015

At Wicor we are taking part in a campaign called Earth Hour. Earth Hour is a WWF campaign where  you turn off your lights to save energy, and to help stop climate change for future animals  and future generations.



This is going to be held nationally  from  8:30 to 9:30 on Saturday the 28th of March .  There are going to be in total 169 countries taking part in this global campaign.

We are planning to do something a bit extra for this campaign...

Our very own Chocobin

Did you know that by the Year 2020 there might not be any chocolate for anyone to eat?  It's because people are eating more and more chocolate all over the world, including us in Britain.  You might think people can just grow more - they can't.  Land for growing cocoa beans is becoming harder to find and climate change is making it harder to grow cocoa beans.

At Wicor we want to draw attention to the fact that we cannot just keep using our resources more and more, like chocolate, without any impact.  We have to learn to be less greedy and demanding.

So let me introduce our Chocobin.

Our Chocobin is busy collecting all the chocolate wrappers and packets we use over the next few before persuade everyone to STOP - eating chocolate for two weeks.  We hope Chocobin will show us just how much chocolate is being saved and help people to realise two things.  First, just how much chocolate we are eating everyday and second, that we can do with less.
