On March 29 next year, at 8 pm local time, big cities such as Chicago, Sydney and Toronto will be in a dark future. This is not a prediction about the collective blackout of these cities, but a global event announced by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). The event, called "Earth Hour", wants to express people's determination to cope with climate change by turning off the lights for an hour.
13 major cities have indicated participation
Recently, WWF announced the official launch of the "Earth Hour" global event. The first 13 core cities that participated in the show include Chicago, Copenhagen, Manila, Melbourne, Sydney, Tel Aviv, and Toronto. And in the coming months, there will be more cities to join. On the evening of March 29 next year, these cities will collectively turn off the lights for an hour.
“The way to turn off the lights and save energy is to get everyone involved.†Act executive director Andy Redley told reporters that the event date was chosen on March 29th because the global day and night time was basically the same in March. Can guarantee that all participating cities are in the evening
In the dark, it makes sense to turn off the lights. And on the 29th is Saturday, it will not have much impact on the lives of citizens.
"Lights out show" into the world trend
This year, many countries in the world have held lights-off activities. The upcoming event next year attempts to link the individual actions of major cities into a collective action.
On March 31 this year, the first "Earth Hour" event was held in Sydney, Australia. "2.2 million people, that is, more than half of the citizens of Sydney participated in the event." Ridley said. More than two million citizens and 2,000 companies turned off their lights for an hour, and even Sydney's iconic building, the Sydney Opera House, closed its white lights on its vault.
The reporter learned that in addition to Sydney, London, France, Paris and Marseille, Bangkok, Thailand, Los Angeles, San Francisco have also held different forms of lights out.
China has also carried out similar activities.
According to the World Wide Fund for Nature (China), they are in contact with some of China's major cities and hope that they can join this global event. Ridley also said that if Shanghai can participate, it is really wonderful.
It is reported that on September 23 this year, similar activities were carried out in seven major cities in China including Shanghai. From 20:00 to 20:30 that night, these cities simultaneously extinguished the iconic landscape lighting for half an hour, Harbin's St. Sophia Church, Beijing's Wangfujing Street, Xi'an Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Nanjing Confucius Temple, Shanghai Bund, Wuhan Hankou River Beach, Shenzhen World The windows are temporarily in the dark.
