The reporters found that, on the one hand, many individuals and companies as “Earth one Hour” a fashion, so they actively involved in this activity, on the other hand, they have been ignored low-carbon in the daily life. Many office buildings exist “Long light”, household appliances all day are in a standby mode, plastic bags still flood in the trash, and so on. Last night buildings green led lights dimming while the city’s various electronic advertising screen still shining night, issued by the dazzling brilliance.
