It calls on people to turn off their lights and other electrical appliances(电器) like computers for one hour. In this way, people can pay more attention to climate change and realize the importance of saving our planet. Earth Hour first started in 2007 in Sydney and many cities around the world followed its lead in the following year. On March 28th, 2009, up to 88 countries and 4 000 cities participated(参加) in it. From 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm on that day, many cities in China such as Beijing, Dalian and Hangzhou also took part in the activity. It seems to be a dark world when the lights are turned off. People are trying to do something special to protect the environment through such a beautiful “dark moment”.
