What is Earth Hour?
Earth Hour is organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and it’s a big event usually at the end of March every year. On this evening, people ‘go dark’ -that is, switch off lights in their homes, schools and businesses all at the same time for one hour.
Earth Hour started in Australia in 2007, when 2.2 million people in Sydney turned off all unnecessary lights for an hour. Since then it has grown into an i(71) event, and many countries around the world have taken part. Famous buildings that have gone dark for Earth Hour i(72) Buckingham Palace in London, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Forbidden City in Beijing and New York’s Empire State Building. Even astronauts on the Space Station have taken part by reducing their power use on the station, and Google has shown its s(73) by making a dark homepage for the event.
What’s the idea b(74) Earth Hour?
The idea is to raise awareness of environmental issues and call for action to protect nature. It's true that switching off the lights for just one hour saves only a small amount of power. But this is only the b(75).
On one level, joining in Earth Hour makes people think about the problem of environmental issues and what we can do in everyday life to protect nature. For example, eating less meat, using low-energy electrical items instead of high-energy o(76) and using green forms of transport all help the planet.
But on another level, a large number of people all acting t(77) sends a powerful message to governments and companies. It pushes them to take action on a large scale by considering green issues when making big decisions.
文章大意
地球一小时活动由世界自然基金会组织，通常在每年三月底举行。人们在这一小时里熄灭家中、学校和企业的灯光，以唤起对环境问题的关注。活动始于2007年澳大利亚悉尼，现已成为全球性盛事，众多国家参与。知名建筑如伦敦白金汉宫、巴黎埃菲尔铁塔等都为此熄灯。该活动旨在提高环保意识，倡导保护自然。虽然熄灯一小时节省的电量有限，但其意义远超于此。它促使人们思考环境问题，并在日常生活中采取保护措施。同时，众多人的集体行动向政府和企业传达强烈信息，推动他们在决策时考虑环保问题。
