Earth Hour 地球時刻
Thursday, March 26, 2009
This annual international event created by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), held on last Saturday of March, was undertaken as a measure to reduce global warming and raise awareness on global climate change.
How to participate in this event?
Just turn off the non-essential lights and electrical appliances for one hour on this Saturday (from 8.30 p.m to 9.30 p.m.), regardless households or businesses.
So are you joining?
I am joining as i will not be at home during that time... haha...
這是由環保團體世界自然基金會發起的活動是一個全球性的活動, 在每年三月的最後一個星期六晚上開始維持一小時, 希望藉此活動能推動電源管理，減少二氧化碳的排放量，並減少過量電燈所引起的光污染問題。要怎麼慘加呢? 就在該時段內(晚上8.30至9.30)關上電燈及不必要的耗電產品一小時, 無論你是家庭還是商界用戶.
所以你要加入嗎?
我應該會加入啦.., 因為那時候可能沒在家, 所以就根本不會用電... 哈哈!
Taiwan government is encouraging locals to reduce the energy and carbon consumption.., so every public agency is participating. So we are encouraged to switch off unnessary electrical appliances when not in use, and also switch of the light when we are away for more than an hour in the lab. Errr.., sometimes i wonder how much energy can be saved by doing so, at least the authority should publish a report regarding this so that the people will know its significance. Furthermore, it is a good way to educate the young generation on saving the earth resources.
Hmmmm, there will be lantern festival held annually in some big cities of Taiwan in conjunction to Chinese New Year. Those lantern shows i visited thus far (either in Taipei organised by Taipei City Hall or the national level one which is touring in different county every year) were successful. If you are visiting Taiwan around CNY, do not miss the event. Those lanterns and decorations were attractive and impressive. Ironically the event consume a lot of electricities to light up the bulbs and lights. So, the electricity we saved for the whole year will be compensated by this annual event is it?
I don't know, just do our best to save the electricity and earth resources...
話說臺灣政府鼓吹人民節能減碳, 連公家機關也在響應. 所以所內都要求我們隨時把不需要的電源關掉, 若外出超過一小時, 也要把實驗室的燈關掉. 呃, 有時候我在想這樣能夠節省很多電量嗎? 至少有關單位應該提出一些數據報告來讓大眾明白其重要性, 更何況也可以藉此機會教育年輕的一代珍惜地球的資源.
哈, 其實每年各大城市都會在農曆新年期間主辦燈會. 在我參觀過的燈會當中, 無論是臺北市政府主辦的, 還是國家級巡迴輪辦的臺灣燈會, 都很成功. 如果你有在過年期間來臺灣玩, 記得不要錯過喔. 那些花燈真的很漂亮, 也很迷人. 不過, 燈會真的耗電很大, 看過就知道了. 哈, 所以全年的節能減碳, 看來是為了這些燈會而省的嗎? 我亂說的啦...
別想太多, 做就對了, 我們本來就應該盡可能減少消耗地球資源的, 不是嗎?
