Alliance called to join the Earth Hour event 28 lights out for the earth

The "Earth Hour" is the world natural foundation (WWF) to a global initiative, calling for individuals, communities, businesses and governments for earth hour, showing public support for a global new climate agreement. The "Earth Hour" rate started in Australia in 2007, when about 2 million 200 thousand Sydney households and businesses turned off the lights for an hour. And just a year later, "Earth Hour" has become a sustainable development of global activities.

On the afternoon of December 15, 2008, with the Beijing city model sand table in Chang'an Avenue, CBD commercial district, bird's nest and many other landmark lights were extinguished, WWF Earth Hour 2009 officially launched in china. So far, the world has 81 countries and regions of the more than 2 thousand and 400 cities to join the Earth Hour campaign, with the most powerful action to express climate change, support for energy conservation and environmental protection.

This year's "Earth Hour" activities will be carried out on the evening of March 28th 20:30 to 21:30 at that time, including the Sydney Opera House, Toronto national television tower, Beijing bird's nest and the water cube global continents landmark building will stand in darkness.

Alliance national semiconductor lighting project through China semiconductor lighting network, called for the union of all members of the unit and the enterprises and individuals to join "Earth Hour" activities, the expression on earth love, energy saving and environmental protection activities to support.

Caring for the earth for more than an hour

In fact, caring for the earth we live in, advocate energy conservation and environmental protection, to deal with global warming, not just an hour of activity. WWF launched this event, nor is it to let people at a certain time to do a gesture, but to raise everyone's attention to energy conservation and environmental protection. By closing the lighting energy saving natural lighting is not a permanent solution, take more energy saving and environmental protection is the fundamental. In this regard, the semiconductor lighting industry has a long way to go.

Semiconductor lighting is considered to be the green energy in twenty-first Century. According to the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RenssELaer Polytechnic Institute, RPI) of the study, if the global use of LED lighting technology, is expected in the next ten years under $1 trillion and 800 billion (trillion) of electricity, and coal-fired power plants to reduce the burning of 1 billion barrels of crude oil, and thus eliminate the carbon dioxide emissions of 10 billion tonnes. According to estimates, academician of the Academy of Engineering China Semiconductor Research Institute researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences Chen Lianghui, as long as the current 1/3 incandescent lamp is LED energy-saving lamps replaced per year for the country to save electricity 100 billion kwh, equivalent to a year generating capacity of the Three Gorges project.

At present, many countries and regions have issued a series of policies of incandescent lamp, incandescent lamp of our policy has also been put on the agenda, and this year the upcoming launch of the "ten city lights" project, is used to replace the traditional LED street lamp, this is our country in energy saving and emission reduction work. To lift.

Semiconductor lighting enterprises in China should face the responsibility and obligation to bear, through the promotion of government support, policy, increase R & D innovation, build semiconductor lighting products of high quality, not only in the semiconductor lighting energy saving and environmental protection products to the advantage of more excellent products to attract consumers attention, make we should do the contribution to the earth!

1 billion people involved in the relay turn off the lights

It is reported that Shanghai, Dalian, Baoding, Nanjing, Shunde and other places of government agencies have participated in earth hour campaign. With Shanghai "Oriental Pearl", the global financial center echoes, Beijing landmark building a nest, water cube and Linglong tower, Dalian Xinghai Square, Nanjing Xuanwu Lake, Hongkong Victoria Harbour tower, the two sides will also join "earth hour".

Around the world, more than 80 countries, 1000 cities, and a total of 1 billion people have pledged to take part in the event. This year, the United Nations headquarters in New York and the UN agencies around the world will also put out the lights.

On the evening of March 28, 2009 8:30 - 9:30, you can enjoy the 1 billion people involved in the relay turn off the lights of the spectacular and touching scene, at that moment, the lights in the starlight, nothing is more important than caring for the earth!

What can we do to turn off the lights for an hour?

Ambassador pianist Lang Lang said the dark environment triggered imagination. We may wish to offer love for the earth at the same time, but also to a competition of imagination. What can we do when we turn off the lights for an hour?

Candlelight dinner? Look up at the stars? Open your heart in the dark? Party with friends?......
