Planet 21 First Anniversary in Bali : Kids Can!
Accor, the leading international hotel operator in Asia-Pacific and Indonesia, is planting more than 3,000 trees across the archipelago to mark the first anniversary of PLANET 21, the Group’s comprehensive sustainable development program. The tree planting exercise highlights Plant for the Planet, Accor’s innovative towel reuse and reforestation program, which has financed over 3 million trees worldwide (including 100,000 in Indonesia) since 2008.
Indonesia is one of the pioneers of the Plant for the Planet program, with Accor collaborating with Perhutani (the State Forest Company) on a Forest Management Program since 2007. By end of 2011, Accor had reforested more than 78 hectares of land in Gelandang, Central Java, planted more than 100,000 trees and provided land access to more than 150 local farmers there. In 2012, Accor successfully planted more than 10,000 trees across Indonesia including distributing small trees to visitors of Bajra Sandhi square (Renon), downtown Denpasar, Bali, as an effort to communicate environment awareness to the public.
Accor hotels in Bali involve in PLANET 21 sustainability spirit
In Bali, Accor hotels focus on two pillars of PLANET 21, which are Nature and Local especially the waste recycling and children protection. Therefore, on Sunday, 21 April, in order to educate Indonesian children about this program, Accor Bali hotels, including Novotel Bali Nusa Dua, invited more than 70 children from Accor children’s staff and Seminyak elementary school.
After a short presentation of PLANET 21 concept, the children have been divided into small groups to enjoy educational games such as sorting waste, song & dances and finally creativity activities which consisted on designing new items from plastic bottles, cans, cardboards. The team winner received a complete school stationary for each of them.
Mr. Alessandro, the General Manager of the Royal Beach Seminyak Bali explains:
“All Accor hotels in Bali are very committed to set a good example regarding sustainability; therefore, we happily hosted this great initiative. Nowadays it is a must to be aware about environment issues and it’s our responsibility to educate and involve the new generation since early age for a best future.“
