Lights have been turned off across Australia's largest city, Sydney, in a hour-long event aimed at raising awareness of global warming. The activity about protecting earth that is supported by is supported by the New South Wales government, environmental groups and businesses. While the plan is working, there are several restaurants, bar, and companies switching off and substituting the candlelight and torches for power source.

The plan of “Earth hour” is good for whole the world. Though this plan is just sustained one hour for each country. I think the most important meaning behind the plan is teaching us how to reduce the natural resources without limit and to protect our precious earth.

There are many way to protect our earth, we are not only switching off light but also reduce the using of the plastic bags. Lights switch off after using is easy for everybody. We should form a habit for switch off, reduce the extra consumption of energy sources. While we go out and want to buy something, we should prepare our own shopping bag. Banning against using extra plastic bags can decrease the burden on earth.

After the development, we have started to destroying the earth. Although the progress of science and technology can make our life better, the earth is harmed for a long time. That seems we just have one way to improve the earth, that is reducing the energy of sources and return the original life. We have to think the result of science progress.

In the future, how can we solve the problems of global warming and nature pounce upon, maybe the way is returning the original life, or we use science and technology to improve all of these problems. Or worst of all, the earth will destroyed by earth people, and there are no creatures on the earth anymore.
