“ I think it already has become much bigger," he said. "The idea was that anyone could do it, whether they were in a small village in France or a city like Sydney. "
Ridley said the Sydney event, in which residents were asked to switch off lights and appliances for one hour, had raised awareness about the problem of global warming while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by conserving energy.
"I know that on the night we thought we might be able to cut energy use in the city by five percent but it ended up being 10. 1 percent," he said.
He said he hoped Earth Hour provided a "very big visual message" to politicians that climate change must be addressed quickly.
“The problem is massive but we do make a difference when we all take action," he said.

答案解析:答案为C。本题为细节推理题。由第六段 “Ridley said the Sydney event, in which residents were asked to switch off lights and appliances for one hour, had raised awareness about the problem of global warming while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by conserving energy..” 可知,地球日就是人们关灯一小时,此活动已经提高了人们全球气候变暖问题的意识,通过节能的方式来减少温室气体排放,故C选项正确。 A选项 “节能”是方式,D选项 “引起人们对全球气候变暖的关注”,是地球日的影响而不是目的。故答案为C。
