We propose the novel scheme to solve a multi-objective optimization problem over an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communications system to jointly minimize the energy consumption of the UAV and ground users (GUs). In particular, the UAV communicates with multiple GUs using active intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs), which can actively amplify and thus significantly enhance the strengths of reflected signals. We develop an energy minimization scheme based on the multi-objective hierarchical deep reinforcement learning (DRL), by decomposing the formulated optimization problem into two-layered subproblems. By solving the upper-level subproblem, we derive the optimal UAV trajectory and GUs scheduling strategies to minimize the UAV's energy consumption. By solving the lower-level subproblem, we obtain the IRS's phase shifts and amplification factors and GUs' transmit/receive beamforming to minimize the GUs' energy consumption. Finally, we validate and evaluate the proposed schemes through simulations, which show that the UAV's and GUs' energy consumption can be significantly reduced by using the active IRS, when the thermal noise powers at the IRS are much smaller than those at the UAV and GUs.
