什么是 EARTH HOUR ?
地球时刻(英语:Earth Hour)是一个全球性节能活动,于3月29日本地时间晚上8时至9时,家庭及商界用户于该时段内关上电灯及不必要的耗电产品一小时。
与此同时,当天亦是美国国家暗天周2008的开始。
该活动由环保团体世界自然基金会澳洲及悉尼晨锋报(Sydney Morning Herald)合作发起,并于澳洲悉尼当地时间2007年3月31日,晚上7:30至8:30期间
举行了第一次活动。地球时刻2007有近二百二十万人参与,相信节省了当天悉尼市市电电源的2.2%至10.2%。踏入2008年,该活动被推广到世界各地,全球
40多个城市,近380个城镇接力执行该活动。
Earth Hour is an annual international event created by the WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature/World Wildlife Fund),
held on the last Saturday of March, that asks households and businessesto turn off their non-essential lights and electrical appliances
forone hour to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change. It was pioneered by WWF Australia and the
Sydney Morning Herald in 2007, and achieved worldwide participation in 2008.
Earth Hour will next take place on Saturday, March 28 2009 at 8:30 pm, local time.
