[Reporter Huang Meizhu/Hsinchu Report] In response to the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF)'s promotion of the "Earth Hour" global energy-saving and carbon-reduction initiative, Hsinchu County Mayor Yang Wenke not only made his own appearance, but also used dance skills to combine customs with several dancers. In the Dengqiao section, we made a humorous promotional short video to call on the public to respond together. On Saturday (25th) from 8:30 to 9:30 in the evening, we also decided to turn off the lights of the county government for an hour, and lead everyone to come together with practical actions. Reduce carbon emissions.

Yang Wenke said that the Xionglin Township Farmers' Association became the first of the 302 farmers' associations in the country to pass the carbon inventory certification, and the county government must also actively keep up with the pace in terms of carbon reduction.

The simplest way to implement energy saving and carbon reduction in life is to turn off unnecessary lights.

The lights-out activity originated in 2005. It was originally initiated to reduce the accidental death of migratory birds caused by building lights during their migration. Two years later, due to the issue of global warming and climate change, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) decided on March 31. In Australia on the 1st, the "Earth Hour" event was launched, calling on the local people to turn off the lights at night to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

This year's 1-hour lights-off will be staged at 8:30 on Saturday night. He thinks it is necessary to follow up and calls on all the folks to do it together, so he used the "electric dance" he specially learned to shoot the Hsinchu County version of "Earth Hour Taiwan "Turn off the lights for one hour", now you can see it on his Facebook or "Hsinchu County Government" audio-visual platform, the dance is unprofessional, but it can give all office workers a rest, smile and relax.
