3月25日，是为地球熄灯一小时的日子。
20：30。我轻轻地关掉了房间里所有的灯。地球，她为我们付出这么多，难道我们连一小时也不能献给她吗？ 我点燃一根蜡烛，望着微弱的烛光轻轻地跳动，心中感慨无限。
地球为我们奉献了太多太多，从盘古开天地到我们现在生活的21世纪，地球无时无刻不再发生着改变。每天清晨推开窗户，看到的是一排排的汽车奔驰而过；每次走过马路，一股股难闻的汽油味扑面而来……地球，难道我们真的不能为她做点什么吗？北京，我们生活的城市，难道不需要呵护吗？
一小时的黑暗对于我们来说，也许是短暂的。但是，这一小时的黑暗对于地球来说，却能带给地球很多很多的快乐！2008年，悉尼全城在地球一小时内的能源消耗下降了大约8.4%，相当于熄灭了160多万只灯泡，相当于一小时内路上少跑了48613辆汽车……
熄灯后，我离开书房走向阳台，小区里的大多数人都熄了灯，透过窗户，隐约可以看见点点烛光在轻轻地跳动，好像是在对我们微笑，对地球微笑。
抬头仰望星空，天空似乎比平常更加清净，星星也似乎比平常要多了许多，一闪一闪，好像是镶嵌在天空上的钻石一般，好像是感谢我们熄灯一小时，拯救了地球千万年。
深深吸气，平日里并不怎么清新的空气中也似乎弥漫着花儿的芬芳，这香气让我感觉到神清气爽，精神一振……
我曾想过：如果这世界上没有电，我们的生活会怎么样呢？如果有一天，地球真的支持不下去了，那我们人类又将何去何从？
不！再也没有如果了。地球一小时也如同绿色驾驶，清洁空气一样，让更多的人意识到节约能源，减少污染的重要性。它让我们明白，通过一种简单而直接的方式，将世界团结在一起，思考，如何对待地球，如何对待地球的每一分青山，每一寸绿水……
THE EARTH HOUR
March 25. 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm. The Earth Hour of 2017.
Turn your lights off for the mother of all humans, the Earth.
After reading these words, I decided to take part in the Earth Hour of 2017.
Earth, this hour is for you, as a tiny reward. You offered us a lot more than we can return. I lit up a candle, watching the faint fire gleaming in the dark room, and I was filled with a thousand regrets.
Mother Earth, you have done a lot for us. From Pangu’s time, to our 21th century, you have changed a lot. Every morning when I am opening my window, I can see cars rushing pass. Every time when I was crossing the streets, I can smell the terrible smell of vehicle emission. Oh, can’t we do something for mother Earth? Beijing, where we live in, can’t we do something for her?
One dark hour may be short for us, but this hour will give our Mother Earth a lot more happiness! In 2008, the city of Sidney in the earth hour energy consumption dropped 8.4% by turning off 1.6 million of light bulbs, or stop 48613 driving vehicles for one hour.
I left my room to the balcony. Most people in my neighborhood has turned off their lights. I could see some candles flickering through the window. And I think, they were smiling at me, and at Mother Earth.
I could see cleaner sky, with brighter stars. The stars are like the diamonds, and I could see their blinking eyes, they seem to thank us about what we have done.
Breathed in, breathed out. I think I smelled the flowers, in the middle of the big and busy city. The smell made me feel much powerful, and it made me feel like being myself.
Actually I have been wondering: If one day, our Mother Earth cannot raise us anymore, how can we live then? If we have no electricity in our lives, what kind of life will we live?
No. No more“IF”s. Earth hour, is like cleaning air and Eco-driving, let more people to realize the importance of saving energy and reducing pollution. It makes us understand a truth, that is, through a simple and direct way, we unit the world, and thinking about how to protect our Earth, and how to get along with the fresh air and clean water.
Thank you.
