該活動最初由環保團體世界自然基金會澳洲(World Wide Fund for Nature(Australia))及雪梨晨鋒報合作發起,並於澳洲雪梨當地時間2007年3月31日,晚上8:30至9:30期間舉行了第一次活動。地球一小時2007有近220萬人參與,相信節省了當天雪梨市市電電源的2.2%至10.2%。2008年,該活動被推廣到世界各地,全球40多個城市,近380個城鎮接力執行該活動。而在2013年,地球一小時活動更獲得來自全球共有154個國家,7,000多座城市及逾 1,200個世界著名地標響應參與活動。
All the participants and supporters of the Earth Hour activity 2014,
Activity Movements
Due to the disagreement between the internal administrators of Wolves' Paradise during the event planning, this activity is unfortunately temporary suspended. This event had to be changed to self-organized events, rather than the whole site events. Which means this site will NOT closed for an hour between 8:30p.m. to 9:30p.m. this evening to support the Earth Hour activity.
However, I hope you can still continue to support and participate the Earth Hour activity at 8:30p.m. tonight. Although the Wolves' Paradise will not be participating in tonight's activity, your support and participation is still very important to the Earth Hour. I hope you can continue to support more environmentally friendly events in the future. I apologize for any inconvenience caused.
