After a catastrophe, the world fell into a desperate darkness. In order to preserve the final essence of mankind, a huge underground city has been built. It is buried deep underground, with a huge generator to maintain the illumination in the dark, and countless light bulbs are scattered throughout the city. At first, people were pleasantly surprised by the artificial wonders of the galaxy, full of thriving scenes everywhere.
Gradually, the huge generators with a service life of 200 years were getting more and more difficult, and the lights that were initially very dazzling began to sway and gradually weakened. With more and more frequent power outages, the flames in people's hearts are also extinguished. The twilight city, this last human home is in jeopardy
At 8 o'clock on the evening of March 29, 2008, Suva, the capital of the South Pacific island nation of Fiji, suddenly fell into a darkness. The scene of the power outage in the science fiction movie "Shimmer City" reappeared, but the people of Fiji Island did not come to this sudden. The darkness panicked. 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.
Turn off the light, light up hope
The Earth's one-hour global blackout show will continue to be staged at 8:30 on March 28 this year. 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 8 o'clock on the evening of March 31, 2007, about 2.2 million Sydney households and businesses responded to this initiative and turned off the 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, on September 23 of that year, led by the National Development and Reform Commission, the Central Lights Department, the Central Civilization Office and other 17 departments jointly initiated the campaign to extinguish the lights 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 initiatives 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. Dedicated hope.
At 8:30 pm on March 28, 2009, more than 80 countries, 1,000 cities, and about 1 billion people are expected 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.
At that time, Baoding's colleges and universities, primary and secondary schools, street communities, enterprises and government agencies will participate in the lights-out activities in different forms. The Baoding Municipal Government Building will also be turned off for one hour. The main officials of the municipal government and the citizens will participate and witness together. This global action.
We are very happy to see Baoding join the Earth for one hour. Addressing the global issue of climate change requires the joint action and efforts of all. Wuda (China) Chief Representative Ouda Dream said: Baoding's achievements in low-carbon development are outstanding, and it is ahead of the global cities. We also hope that more Chinese cities can join the lights-out activities and join the global development of low-carbon development. action.
After the launch of Earth Hour in China at the end of last year, positive progress was made. Hundreds of companies such as Coca-Cola, Canon, IKEA, Wal-Mart and New World China Land 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, and the global economic crisis is a good example. 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. This also provides a good opportunity to invest in a new model of low-carbon new economy. We must work together to make these changes. Our common actions can change history and ensure the future of the planet.
