本周六,3月27日8:30,新加坡全國數(shù)百棟高樓、購物中心及國家紀(jì)念館等多個地標(biāo)性建筑將熄燈一小時,以支持WWF發(fā)起的“地球一小時”環(huán)保行動。這可能是已知的全球唯一以國家行為支持“地球一小時”的地方。

Come 8.30pm on March 27, 2010, Singapore will turn dark for an hour as hundreds of buildings, shopping malls, national monuments and landmarks island-wide will turn off their non-essential lights during Earth Hour 2010. With the current movement against climate change, organizations and businesses are pledging their support for the energy-saving campaign.

Some of the bigger bodies include Singapore's Changi Airport, who will turn off decorative lights and dimming many operational lights within the terminal buildings and malls, Resorts World Sentosa, and almost all the national monuments and landmark icons, including the Merlion, the Singapore Flyer, Esplanade Theatres, the Fullerton Hotel, One Fullerton, Clifford Pier and the Asian Civilizations Museum.

Around the central business district, the Singapore River will flow in darkness while all around the downtown area, buildings power down for the requisite hour. These include the HSBC Building, Maybank Tower, Raffles City Shopping Mall, One Raffles Quay, Suntec City and Swissotel the Stamford.
