Earth Hour started in Australia with millions of homes and businesses turning their lights off for one hour. Now it has grown to become one of the world‘s biggest climate change initiatives. People are all joining together in a global effort to show that it’s possible to take action on global warming.

Earth Hour has brought about some new changes to our lives. The iconic "Bird‘s Nest" National Stadium and the nearby "Water Cube" National Aquatics Center， usually illuminated by floodlights， went dark at 8：30 p.m.， while dozens of hotels， office buildings， shopping malls and restaurants also switched some lights off. People join activities such as candle-lit dinners and star-gazing parties as a response to the call for "going dark". However， some critics have dismissed the event as simply a gimmick that will not make any difference.

From my point of view， Earth Hour is a global call to action to every individual， every business and every community. A call to stand up， to take responsibility and to get involved in working towards a sustainable future. Earth Hour is a message of hope and a message of action. Everyone can make a difference.

地球一小时开始在澳大利亚数以百万计的家庭和企业关闭灯一小时。现在它已经成为世界上最大的气候变化举措之一。人们一起加入全球努力表明它可能对全球变暖采取行动。

地球一小时给我们的生活带来了一些新的变化。标志性的“鸟巢”的国家体育场和附近的国家游泳中心“水立方”,被聚光灯照亮的通常,黑暗的晚上8:30。,许多酒店、写字楼、购物中心和餐馆也换了一些灯光。人们加入活动,比如烛光晚餐和观星方应对呼吁“黑暗”。然而,一些评论家们认为这一事件是一个简单的手法,将起不到任何作用。

从我的观点来看,地球一小时是一个全球性的行动呼吁每一个人,每一个企业和每一个社区。调用站起来,承担责任并参与朝着一个可持续的未来。地球一小时是一个希望的信息和行动的消息。每个人都能发挥作用。
