Earth Hour 2011

"Earth Hour 2011" is an international activity that started on March 26th. Many netizens in Weibo have prepared well for their contribution to our earth. They make a promise to protect our environment by consuming less energy.

                          Come to Weibo and Make your Promise!

In order to respond to the call of protecting our earth, the famous Chinese musical group Yu Quan made a popular song to cheer us up. It's a very beautiful song, and it shows how Chinese people have made their effort to protect the earth. I am deeply moved by people's good will for our planet. This year, many natural disasters have happened around us: earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, etc. People are suffering from natural disasters which helps them realize they are consuming too much energy. "Earth Hour" is meaningful because it  inspires people all around the world to appreciate that earth is our home, and it is our responsibility to protect it. As the slogan says: Contribution to an hour, Save the earth for one-hundred years!

Here is the beautiful song sang by Yu Quan "Turn Off the Light"

       

Turn off the lights lyrics

Turn off the lights

let’s make the change

I can’t see the ice on Iceland

I can’t see the star in the sky

we lose directions

like the polar bear lose their lands

more, there is not that many

few, there is not that few

we always desire for more than many

but we don’t know few is many

turn off the lights and light up the stars

at this moment, let us get our common induction

turn off the lights and restore the true picture

turn off the lights and light our dreams

turn off the lights and light up the stars

at this moment, let us get our common induction

turn off the lights and restore the true picture

turn off the lights and light our dreams

(repeat)
