Earth Hour: fun and freebies

Where will you be during Earth Hour? Join GV Yishun or the City Square Mall for fun activities and premium collectibles, and show your support of Earth Hour.

Earth Hour is an annual global event organized by WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature, also known as World Wildlife Fund)  to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change. It is held on the last Saturday of March with the sole purpose to request households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and other electrical appliances for one hour (at 8pm) on that one day.

If you are not an environmentalist, but support this cause and are environmentally friendly or are interested to know more about this movement, here are some of the places you can go on 26 March, Saturday, to have fun and show your support.

Best of all, these events are FREE!

GV Yishun supports Earth Hour!

In support of Earth Hour, GV Yishun will stop movie screenings and turn off all lights from 8.30pm to 9.30pm on this day!

Join them for an hour of fun with an intimate unplug performance by Butteribs of SUPERBAND 2008 fame and stand to win prizes from Hasbro!

In addition, snag up their Limited Edition Earth Hour Snack Pack, on sale for the one hour at only $8 (U.P $12.30)! Snack pack includes 64oz Popcorn, Mentos, Pocky, Glaceau Vitaminwater and Popcorn Bucket! Available only during the one hour!

And that’s not all – purchase a pair of tickets to any movies screening at GV Yishun after 9.30pm, present your ticket stub to redeem for a set of GV premiums! Whilst stocks last!
