EARTH HOUR A NIGHT OF LIGHTS DIMMED FOR A BRIGHTER TOMORROW
A NIGHT FOR EARTH AT THE LAGUNA BALI As we dim the lights around the resort, Arwana Restaurant brings a special focus to sustainability with an exquisite à la carte menu that celebrates the bounty of the ocean while minimizing waste.
Since its beginnings, Earth Hour has symbolized unity in support of our planet through the impactful act of “lights off.” Launched by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in 2007, Earth Hour confronts the urgent climate and nature crises and serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting our planet while time still allows. Keeping global warming below the 1.5°C limit and reversing nature loss by 2030 is a shared responsibility, and the years ahead are crucial for ensuring a sustainable future. In solidarity, lights around the resort are dimmed to highlight the natural beauty of the beachfront, honoring the Earth’s gifts. A thematic sand sculpture of endangered animals lies along the shoreline, gently reminding us of the vulnerable wonders we strive to protect. Guests are invited to gather under the stars, enjoying acoustic melodies and shared stories by candlelight, creating a moment to reflect on the planet’s gifts.
This Earth Hour, The Laguna Bali demonstrates how even small acts, like reducing light pollution, can inspire meaningful change. Each step toward sustainability is a step toward a brighter, healthier future for generations to come. small choices—whether on our plates or in our daily lives—can lead to lasting positive impact on our planet. Together, through dimmed lights and thoughtful dining, we honor the Earth and the steps we can take to protect it for future generations.
At the heart of this menu is sustainably sourced barramundi, crafted in partnership with Bali Sustainable Seafood. These barramundi are caught by small-scale artisanal fishermen in Eastern Java, who use traditional, low-impact fishing methods to protect marine life and avoid overfishing. By employing a one-man, one-hook technique, these fishers ensure minimal disruption to the ecosystem, catching only larger fish that help maintain the health of the population.
This zero-waste approach, where every part of the fish is utilized, reflects a commitment to sustainability that aligns with the values of Earth Hour. As guests enjoy this conscious culinary experience by candlelight, under the stars, they are invited to consider how even small choices— whether on our plates or in our daily lives—can lead to lasting positive impact on our planet. Together, through dimmed lights and thoughtful dining, we honor the Earth and the steps we can take to protect it for future generations.
