VOTE EARTH
YOUR LIGHT SWITCH IS YOUR VOTE
This year, Earth Hour has been transformed into the world’s first global election, between Earth and global warming.
For the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote – Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming. WWF are urging the world to VOTE EARTH and reach the target of 1 billion votes, which will be presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009.
This meeting will determine official government policies to take action against global warming, which will replace the Kyoto Protocol. It is the chance for the people of the world to make their voice heard.
Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. In 2008 the message had grown into a global sustainability movement, with 50 million people switching off their lights. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Colosseum, the Sydney Opera House and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square all stood in darkness.
In 2009, Earth Hour is being taken to the next level, with the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote. Unlike any election in history, it is not about what country you’re from, but instead, what planet you’re from. VOTE EARTH is a global call to action for every individual, every business, and every community. A call to stand up and take control over the future of our planet. Over 74 countries and territories have pledged their support to VOTE EARTH during Earth Hour 2009, and this number is growing everyday.
We all have a vote, and every single vote counts. Together we can take control of the future of our planet, for future generations.
VOTE EARTH by simply switching off your lights for one hour, and join the world for Earth Hour.

“地球一小时”活动简介
“地球一小时”活动其实就像开灯关灯一样容易。
该活动起初只是一项号召悉尼居民关灯的活动，逐渐发展壮大成为全球最大的应对气候变化行动之一。2009年3月28日晚上8：30，全球各地的人们将为”地球一小时”而熄灯。我们希望能有超过1000个城市10亿人参加这一活动中来，用全球性的努力一起来应对气候变暖。
“地球一小时”这一活动率先于2007年在澳大利亚展开，当时大约有220万悉尼家庭和企业熄灯一小时。然而仅仅一年以后，“地球一小时”已成为一项全球性并持续发展的活动，超过35个国家多达500 万人参与其中。全球各大城市的地标性建筑，如旧金山的金门大桥，罗马斗兽场及时代广场上的可口可乐广告牌等都为此而伫立于黑暗之中，各城市居民也表达了对刻不容缓的环保事业的热忱希望。
2009年的“地球一小时”是一项全球性的行动，它呼吁每个人，每个企业和社区都积极采取措施，投身其中，承担应尽职责，为创建一个可持续发展的明天而行动起来。届时，全球各地从欧洲到美洲的地标性建筑都将伫立于黑暗之中。而世界各国人民将通过关灯这一方式，携手为创造地球更美好的明天而努力。
让我们一起行动起来吧！2009年3月28日晚上8:30-9:30，关灯一小时，与世界一起写下历史。
超过64个国家和地区已经参与到了2009年“地球一小时”活动中来。而随着越来越多的民众意识到，一个小小举动可以对最终结果有着巨大的影响时，参与人数也在不断增加。
“地球一小时”象征着希望，也代表着行动。每个人都能让一切从此改变。
