Earth Hour started in Australia with millions of homes and businesses turning their lights off for one hour.Now it has grown to become one of the world’s biggest climate change initiatives.People are all joining together in a global effort to show that it’s possible to take action on global warming.Earth Hour has brought about some new changes to our lives.The iconic Bird’s Nest National Stadium and the nearby Water Cube National Aquatics Center,usually illuminated by floodlights,went dark at 8:30 p.m.,while dozens of hotels,office buildings,shopping malls and restaurants also switched some lights off.People join activities such as candle-lit dinners and star-gazing parties as a response to the call for going dark.However,some critics have dismissed the event as simply a gimmick that will not make any difference.From my point of view,Earth Hour is a global call to action to every individual,every business and every community.A call to stand up,to take responsibility and to get involved in working towards a sustainable future.Earth Hour is a message of hope and a message of action.Everyone can make a different.
“地球一小时”开始在澳大利亚以百万计的家庭和企业转向灯熄灭一小时.现在它已经成为世界上最大的气候变化的措施之一.人们都联手在全球的努力表明,它可能采取全球warming.Earth小时行动,已经给我们的生活带来了一些新的变化.
标志性的鸟巢国家体育场附近的水立方国家游泳中心,通常由泛光灯照明,暗时30分至晚上8时30分,而数十家酒店,写字楼,商场和餐馆也交换了一些灯光熄灭.人们参加活动,如烛光晚餐和观星人士去黑暗的号召的响应.然而,一些批评者被解雇的事件只是一个噱头,不会做出任何difference.From我的观点,“地球一小时”是一个全球性的呼叫的行动落实到每一个人,每一个企业和每一个社区.呼叫站起来,承担责任,并在努力实现可持续发展的未来.“地球一小时”是一个希望的信息和行动的消息.每个人都可以做出不同.
