Earth Hour
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 difference.
地球一小时
地球一小时开始于澳大利亚并拥有数以百万计的家庭和企业配合把灯关闭了一小时.现在,它已经发展成为世界上最大的气候变化的举措.人们都联合起来进行全球努力,表明对于全球气候变暖可能采取行动 .
地球一小时带来了一些新的变化对我们的生活.标志为“鸟巢”国家体育场和附近的“水立方”国家游泳中心,通常照明的泛光灯,在下午8时30分变成漆黑一片,另有数十家宾馆,写字楼,商场和餐馆也关闭了一些灯.人们加入的各种活动,如烛光晚餐和观星派对,各方的反应是要求“走出黑暗” .然而,一些批评者们已否认了这一事件,说它只是一个噱头,不会作任何区别.
从我的观点来看,地球一小时是一个全球性的行动,呼吁每一个人,每一个企业和每一个社区,呼吁它们站起来,承担责任并参与努力实现一个可持续的未来.地球一小时是一个希望的信息和信息的行动.每个人都可以有所作为.
