CITY OF MALOLOS — SM malls in Bulacan joined the nationwide O.N.E. (Oras Natin sa Efficiency) campaign on Monday (May 25), by switching off non-essential lights from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. in support of the Department of Energy’s (DOE) energy conservation initiative.
SM City Marilao, SM Center Pulilan, and SM City Baliwag participated in the O.N.E. Challenge, which encourages Filipinos to practice energy-saving habits through collective action.
The campaign, led by the DOE in partnership with SM Supermalls, promotes efficient energy use by urging establishments and households to switch off non-essential lights and unplug unused appliances for one hour. The initiative was officially launched at the SM Mall of Asia as part of a nationwide call for sustainability and energy conservation.
During the one-hour switch-off, the participating malls dimmed or turned off selected lighting systems, including mall signages, façades, pylon towers, landscapes, dropdown banners, and portions of hallway and lobby lighting, while ensuring uninterrupted mall operations and essential services.
The O.N.E. campaign, which stands for “One Hour, One Energy, One Nation,” highlights how simple everyday actions can create a significant collective impact in protecting the environment and conserving resources.
Through the #SMGreenMovement, SM Supermalls reaffirmed its commitment to sustainability by supporting programs that promote energy efficiency and environmental responsibility in communities nationwide. (UnliNews Online)
