Earth Hour, also known as "Turn off the lights for one hour", is an initiative launched by the World Wide Fund for Nature in 2007. It calls on individuals, communities, enterprises and governments to turn off the lights for one hour from 20: 30 to 2 1: 30 on the last Saturday of March every year, so as to arouse people's sense of responsibility for protecting the earth, think about environmental issues such as climate change and show common resistance to the world. This is a global activity. After WWF was first advocated in Sydney in 2007, it swept the world at an alarming rate, and everyone came to participate in this activity.

The "Earth Hour" event was first held in Sydney, Australia on March 3, 2007, and attracted more than 2.2 million families and businesses in Sydney. Subsequently, the activity quickly swept the world at an alarming rate.

Environmental protection suggestions

The purpose of "Earth Hour" is not to save electricity, but to make the public aware of the importance of protecting the earth, improve environmental awareness and form good environmental habits in daily life. According to the average level of global resource consumption and carbon dioxide emissions in 2007, human needs 1.5 earths to meet the demand. One small step for everyone is one giant step for the earth:

1, pay attention to the ecological environment

Pay attention to environmental quality, natural ecology and energy resources, understand the ecological environment information released by the government and enterprises, learn the knowledge of ecological environment science, laws, regulations and policies and environmental health risk prevention, establish good ecological values, and enhance the awareness of ecological environment protection and ecological civilization.

2. Save energy and resources

Set the air conditioning temperature reasonably, not lower than 26 degrees in summer and not higher than 20 degrees in winter, turn off the power supply of electrical appliances in time, take more stairs, take fewer elevators, turn off the lights when people leave, use more water, save paper, and order food on demand without wasting.

3. Practice green consumption

Give priority to green products, buy durable goods as much as possible, buy less disposable goods and over-packaged goods, don't follow the trend to buy fast-changing electronic products, and bring your own shopping bags and cups. When going out, convert idle items or exchange donations.
