In addition to being the guy who first came up with the idea for the event over drinks with friends in a Sydney pub several years ago, Ridley is also the executive director of Earth Hour Global, so he presumably speaks with some authority on the subject. “What we’re still looking for in this coming year,” he told the Associated Press last week, “is a global deal that encourages all countries to lower their emissions.”
这都很好。但是根据安迪·瑞德利（Andy Ridley）的说法，“地球一小时”实际上还有一个更具体的目标。几年以前，安迪在悉尼一个小酒馆跟朋友喝酒时想到了“地球一小时”这个点子，此外，他还是“地球一小时全球组织”的执行总干事，所以他的话大概有点权威性吧。上周，他对美联社说：“今年我的仍在追求的目标是，达成一个全球协定，鼓励所有国家减少碳排放。”
