Asia Pacific Spa Wellness Coalition (APSWC) Supports the Environment

Dec. 29, 2009 - PRLog -- THE ENVIRONMENT: EARTH HOUR

Some small steps companies and individuals included turning off unused lights and appliances, holding a company-wide event or celebration for employees proceeding Earth Hour or have a candle-lit dinner hour and serve local dishes.  

“We wanted the Asia Pacific Region to turn out more lights than any other area in the world during this historic event” revealed the organisation’s chairman, Sam Foster.  Helping to spread the word about Earth Hour to inspire others to participate and take a stand against climate change is congruent with the APSWC mission. The goal was to get the most people, businesses and government organisations involved” advised Mary Darling, Planet Task Force co-chair. The People Task Force supported Earth Hour joining millions around the world who had an electricity-free hour at this time to raise awareness of the need to protect Planet Earth.  

ABOUT ASIA-PACIFIC SPA & WELLNESS COUNCIL

The Asia-Pacific Spa & Wellness Council (APSWC) was formed in March ’06 – the outcome of an informal roundtable meeting held in Singapore in February ‘06. The roundtable was initiated by the heads of spa associations with a view to bringing the region together; to identify common problems and opportunities, and find ways to improve the business for all. Asia-Pacific Spa & Wellness Coalition (APSWC) is a regional body which links the national spa associations of the Asia-Pacific nations. The Coalition (formerly Council) was formed to meet the challenges presented by the evolution and growth of the Asian Pacific spa industry. In addition to gathering and communicating market information and resources, APSWC's planned activities for the region include: identifying and recommending appropriate standards, training resources, and performance benchmarks and establishing a code and best practices format to be adopted throughout the region. It's important that local representation becomes a focus while looking at the region guides in its entirety including a range of topics relevant to Asia-Pacific countries.
