小編語：地球時刻/地球一小時（英語：Earth Hour）是一個全球性節(jié)能活動，于每年3月份的最后一個周六當?shù)赝砩?時至9時舉行，家庭及商界用戶于該時段內(nèi)關上電燈及不必要的耗電產(chǎn)品一小時。借此活動希望能推動電源管理，減少二氧化碳的排放量，并減少過量電燈所引起的光污染問題。

Earth Hour is an annual international event created by the WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature/World Wildlife Fund), held on the last Saturday of March, that asks households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change. Based on an idea successfully executed in Thailand in 2005, it was pioneered by WWF Australia and the Sydney Morning Herald in 2007, and achieved worldwide participation in 2008，2009 and 2010.Earth Hour will next take place on Saturday, March 26, 2010 at 8:30 pm, local time,and more than 4,000 cities will take part in.
