Global lights out call for energy saving
illumination. 380 towns and cities from about 40 countries and regions participated in the “Earth Hour†event, which was turned off for one hour from 8:00 to 9:00 on the 29th. Participants hoped to promote energy conservation and greenhouse gas emission reduction through this activity. A hotel in Shenzhen responded to the energy-saving initiative and specifically turned off the lights for an hour.
The “Earth Time†environmental protection activity was initiated by the World Conservation Fund and asked participants to turn off the lights for one hour from 8:00 to 9:00 on March 29 this year. “Earth time†environmental activities are only symbolic activities, but climate warming is happening. The far-reaching significance of this activity is to remind people that some small efforts in life can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to the protection of the global environment.
The World Conservation Fund estimated on the 30th that tens of millions of people around the world participated in the "Earth Hour" campaign initiated by the organization from 8:00 to 9:00 pm local time on the 29th, and extinguished the lights.
Organizers said that although this year's "Earth Hour" event was held for the second time, they were shocked by the enthusiastic response from around the world. They look forward to more people joining this environmental protection and energy conservation campaign next year.
Sudden increase in numbers
According to the information published on the “Earth Hour†website, 380 cities and towns from around 40 countries and regions participated in the event this year. Among them, 26 large city governments officially signed and participated, nearly 300,000 and more than 20,000 companies. The organization participated in the event through network signature, and the actual participants may exceed 30 million.
Last year, when Australia’s largest city, Sydney, hosted the Earth Hour for the first time, about 2.2 million residents and 2,000 businesses participated in the event. Greg Bourne, head of the World Conservation Fund in Australia, said that the two-year comparison shows that the event will not only succeed in Sydney, but also globally.
“Last year, we had 2.2 million people. I estimated this year that there may be as many as 100 million people in the world,†he told AFP. “More gratifying is that almost every country and region in the world, There are people who sign and participate, whether it is one or two people or 3,000 people."
“Basically, every continent, including Antarctica, has people involved. I think next year, we will get more participants in Asia and Russia,†said Bourne. “We are very confident, when we will do this event next year, China. There will be many more participants."
Significant results
The Australian energy company, which is responsible for powering the city of Sydney, said on the 30th that the city’s energy consumption in the “Earth Hour†fell by 8.4%, equivalent to extinguishing 1.6 million bulbs.
New Zealand's only city in Christchurch, which officially participated in this year's event, data released on the 30th showed that energy consumption was reduced by nearly 13% after one hour of light-off.
A poll conducted in Australia from the 29th to the 30th showed that 58% of the 3,400 respondents who lived in major towns participated in the event by extinguishing lights or other means.
Stephanie Verrick, a consultant at a steel company in Peoria, Ill., used a light out of the hour to make a party for friends. The theme was "BYOC", which means "take your candle."
After 42 years old, Stephanie Verrick decided to do an "Earth Hour" campaign in his home every month, and even planned to do a "green funeral" for himself. She told the Washington Post reporter, "We are discharging more and more chemicals to the earth. Anyway, when I am leaving, I can do something different."
Diverse activities
With the arrival of "Earth Hour", from Fiji to Australia, to Asia, Europe and the Americas, many of the world's most famous urban buildings were turned off for an hour on the 29th, including the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge, the Budapest Parliament Building. Prince Charles of England, London City Hall, London Westminster Abbey, Toronto TV Tower, Chicago Sears Tower, San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge, etc.
In the big cities participating in the event, the candlelight dinner became the choice of most people. Although a restaurant in Bangkok, Thailand temporarily suspended the supply of hot food and hot drinks, the people who went to the candlelight party filled the restaurant. After the lights are extinguished, the Sheraton Chicago Hotel offers guests a glowing ice cube in the lobby.
In the square of Copenhagen, Denmark, many people looked up at the sky to see the stars. A spokesperson for the World Conservation Fund in Denmark said: "In the city, there are probably not many days when you can see the stars."
In the Phoenix Park in Dublin, Ireland, the Irish Astronomical Society has set up a huge telescope. People hope that people can use the moment when the city lights are extinguished to watch the "bright starry sky". The organizer said: "We want to show people some objects in the night sky, which are usually difficult to see due to light pollution."
Perhaps the best use of time is the Chicago buildings, such as the John Hancock Center, where managers used the night of the 29th to permanently replace hundreds of incandescent lamps in the building with energy-saving light bulbs.

Turn off the lights and turn on environmental awareness
According to WWF, this activity is mainly to mobilize people to save energy by simply turning off the lights, so that people realize that their simple actions can help reduce greenhouse gas and other pollutant emissions caused by power generation. To mitigate the impact of global warming on the planet.
As the event advocates said: "'Earth Time' was only a 'Sydney event' last year, and this year has become a 'global movement'." When thousands of hands extinguished a flash of light around them, The darkness has brought hope to humanity to cope with environmental degradation and global warming. The darkness of this "Earth Time" has prompted humankind to awaken, reflect and act.
We have reason to expect that the short hour of darkness brought about by this activity will inspire all humanity to explore the permanent light of the future.
