What can we do in an hour? Watch mobile phone, talk with WeChat or watch TV? No, we can get another choice, sit by our family members to have a heart-to-heart talk, let us join the “Earth Hour” campaign and contribute a bit for the blue home we rely on for existence.
“Earth Hour” campaign is initiated by WWF to ask individuals, communities, enterprises and governments to switch off their lightsfrom 20：30 to 21：30 on the last Saturday of each March to arouse people’s sense of responsibility for protecting the Earth, inspire people to think about climate change and other environment problems and show their support for global action against climate warming. This is global campaign which has swept the globe at an alarming rate after being first initiated by WWF in 2007. In 2009, it entered China and was then rapidly spread and in the same year there were more than 3,000 cities from more than 80 countries and regions attended the campaign.
The “lights-out relay” spread to thousands of cities in the world started from New Zealand and then transmitted to Sydney and then Asia cities such as Seoul, Shanghai, Beijing … In 2013, about 130 Chinese cities joined the campaign and A-list stars including Li Bingbing, Yuquan and Li Yuchun also joined socially useful activity and appealed to people for easing the burden on Earth by setting the example through video. This campaign now has become the largest socially useful activity against climate change in the world.
