SM Supermalls and SM Cares Join Earth Hour 2023

SM Supermalls, together with SM Cares, are once again joining Earth Hour 2023 this coming March 25. This is also a renewal of their commitment to environmental stewardship.

This year's Earth Hor is all about "creating the Biggest Earth Hour for Earth," and those who want to participate in the global activity are encouraged to spend 60 minutes doing something positive for the planet, aside from just turning off their lights.

SM Supermalls has been supporting Earth Hour and the WWF since the initiative was first held in the Philippines in 2008. This year, customers and tenants and employees at SM malls are once again encouraged to "Give an Hour for Earth," joining the annual Global Lights Switch Off from 8:30PM- 9:30PM on March 25.

This day also marks the beginninng of the WWF's Virtual Earth Hour Run, a self-paced run supported by SM Cares, to be held from March 25 to April 30, 2023. The run aligns with SM Supermalls' bid to make "Earth Hour, Any Hour" as participants are encouraged to adopt an eco-friendly lifestyle by running and win prizes along the way.

Aside from these, SM Supermalls has been pushing to minimize its carbon footprint in support of the global green movement through various programs ranging from responsible energy consumption to investing in renewable energy.

For instance, more than 50 percent of the energy consumed by SM Malls all over the country now come from renewable sources. In terms of solar energy usage, SM now has 12 malls equipped with energized solar panels, with SM Mall of Asia as the latest mall to receive a solar panel installation, which has capacity of 2.003 MWp.

SM has also been recognized for exceeding compliance with RA7920 or the Plastic Waste Collection program, which encourage responsible solid waste disposal among Filipinos; the annual Green Film Festival which promotes environmental awareness among students and the youth; and the international Coastal Cleanup which encourages stakeholders to do their part in keeping our seas and oceans clean.

Scientific fact: Women are more attracted to men with facial hair

Science says it. Men with facial hair are more attractive. A study in the 70s and two more recent ones conducted by Neave and Shields in 2008 and Dixson and Brooks in 2013 all came up with the same conclusion: Most women find men with a stubble or a five-o’clock shadow very, very attractive. Although the women’s perception of male attractiveness changed according to the amount and length of men’s facial hair, most women in the study found men with a moderate amount of facial hair to be the most attractive. Some women did prefer men with no facial hair, but to the majority, men with no facial hair were not very attractive and seemed the least likely romantic partners. Women perceived full bearded men to be aggressive, more mature and a bit too much to handle.
