At 20:00 on March 29, 2008, Suva, the capital of the South Pacific island nation of Fiji, suddenly fell into the darkness, but the people of Fiji Island did not panic because of this sudden darkness. Instead, they are eagerly welcoming the strike of the generator.
Two samurai in traditional local costumes lit the torch and passed the torch to the port of Suva. Afterwards, rowing enthusiasts took over the torch and ignited 100 candles in the sea. More than 100 islands under Fiji’s jurisdiction began the one-hour light-off event on Earth and hoped to appeal to the world to deal with climate change. The complex challenge that comes.
Please turn off the lights and light up the hope
The Earth will be turned off globally for one hour, and will continue to be relayed in the world on March 28th from 20:30 to 21:30. If you are lucky enough to travel in space at this time, you will see a spectacular domino show, which will be turned off for one hour in 24 time zones around the world. Starting in Fiji, cities in Asia such as Australia, Japan, Singapore, China, and Indonesia will be the first to turn off the lights, followed by cities in Europe and the Americas. The darkness will cross the river like a dragon, sweeping thousands of horses and horses all the way to the west.
The event was initially an event calling on Sydney residents to turn off the lights. At 20:00 on March 31, 2007, approximately 2.2 million Sydney households and businesses responded to this initiative and turned off their lights for an hour. After the event, the electricity saved by turning off the lights for one hour is enough for 200,000 TV sets for one hour and 50,000 cars for one hour. More participating citizens reported that the stars that they could see that night were several times more than usual.
Coincidentally, the National Development and Reform Commission took the lead, and the light-off actions initiated by 17 departments including the Central Propaganda Department and the Central Civilization Office were launched in seven major cities across the country. Beijing Wangfujing, Shanghai Bund, Harbin St. Sophia Church, Xi'an Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Nanjing Confucius Temple, Wuhan Hankou River Beach, Shenzhen World Window and other most prestigious city landmarks collectively extinguished the landscape lights for half an hour. Households in some urban communities have also turned off lighting, unplugged unnecessary electrical power, and felt power outages together. Although the fascinating landscape of the beautiful buildings is limited, but the pain of energy tension is felt, the power of slogans for action is subtly affecting everyone's conscious behavior.
Just one year after the light-off event in Australia, the Earth has been recognized as one of the world's largest climate change actions in an hour. In 2008, as many as 50 million people from 38 countries and 371 cities participated in the world. The landmark buildings of major cities around the world, such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, the Colosseum in the Colosseum and the Coca-Cola billboards on Times Square, stand in the dark for this purpose, and the residents of the city also express their unrelenting environmental protection. Enthusiasm and hope.
Responding to climate, regardless of national boundaries
On March 28, 2009, from 20:30 to 21:30, the world is expected to create more than 80 countries, 1,000 cities, and about 1 billion people to create this beautiful dark moment. Los Angeles, Las Vegas, London, Hong Kong, Sydney, Rome, Manila, Moscow, Oslo, Cape Town, Warsaw, Lisbon, Singapore, Istanbul, Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, Toronto, Dubai, Copenhagen will be a long A long, exciting list.
To this end, the National Football Museum of England, the world's tallest hotel, the Burj Khalifa, the CN Tower in Toronto, the Federal Building in Moscow, and the official residence of the President of the Italian Republic in Rome, Quirinale, will be turned off for an hour. The iconic building at Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong will also be turned off for an hour to express its determination to deal with climate change. The city of Baoding, known as the China Power Valley, became the first city in mainland China to officially announce its participation.
After the launch of Earth Hour in China at the end of last year, positive progress was made. The promotion of this event this year has been actively carried out in many cities including Tianjin. Hundreds of companies announced that they would participate in the day's activities in different ways. JCDecaux China also provides free advertising spaces for bus bodies and subway light boxes in Shanghai, Beijing and Tianjin to support Earth Hour.
Nahua, deputy director of the United Nations Development Programme, said: The impact of climate change on humanity is borderless, and whether we are rich or poor, each of us is equally vulnerable to climate change. In the fight against climate change, cooperation among governments, individuals and social institutions is very important. Each of us is a villager in the global village. As long as we turn off the lights for an hour, we can make a real contribution to reducing carbon emissions and change the future of the planet.
Earth's one-hour global executive director Andy Reid said: Recent events have shown that the world can unite in times of crisis. 2009 is the year that determines the future of the planet. Major countries around the world will develop large-scale plans to reduce carbon dioxide emissions during the year. We must work together to make these changes. Our common actions can change history and ensure the future of the planet.
Turn off the lights, look forward to the stars
In 2008, the city's energy consumption in the city fell by 8.4% in an hour, equivalent to the extinction of 1.6 million bulbs. The only city in New Zealand, Christchurch, which officially participated in the lights-out event, released data showing that energy consumption was reduced by nearly 13% in one hour.
There is no doubt that the publicity effect of the light-off relay is far greater than the actual emission reduction effect. Under the global light-off relay, more people are beginning to realize the importance of energy-saving and emission reduction, and participate in this activity in their own way.
Stephanie Verrick, a consultant at a steel company in Peoria, Ill., used a light out of the hour to have a party for friends. The theme was BY-OC, with your candle.
Last year, with the arrival of the Earth in an hour, from Fiji, New Zealand to Australia, to Asia, Europe and the Americas, the citizens of many famous cities around the world began to enjoy the candlelight dinner. At the time of the lights-out, a restaurant in Bangkok, Thailand temporarily suspended hot drinks and hot drinks, but the people who went to the candlelight party were full. In the Phoenix Park in Dublin, Ireland, the Irish Astronomical Society has set up a huge telescope, hoping to take advantage of the moment when the city lights are extinguished to watch the splendid stars. This year, the energy saving effect of the Earth for one hour is expected.
The industry is not in the cold winter, the market share of the company is over 1%. The Beijing city night lighting design training informs the road drainage lighting project construction public bidding announcement
