Low-carbon life starts with me \x0d\ Everyone knows that we only have one earth; And the earth is like all life. The continuation of life and the survival of mankind are inseparable from natural resources for a moment. Facing the present situation of the earth, everyone with a little conscience can't help worrying about the future of the earth. Since I learned about the harm of carbon dioxide on TV, I have realized the importance of low-carbon life. \x0d\ By watching TV and looking up information, I understand what a low-carbon life is. Low-carbon life is to emit as little carbon dioxide as possible in our lives. Because too much carbon dioxide will warm the space environment where we live, this is the "greenhouse effect". When the temperature of our living environment rises, Antarctic glaciers will melt into water, and a large amount of water will flow into the sea, which will raise the sea level and may flood the residents of some island countries. So we should reduce carbon dioxide emissions in our daily life. Specific to our lives, it is to save energy. \x0d\ But for low-carbon life, people encounter similar embarrassment: they know the importance of protecting the environment, and they also know that protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility. However, in order to improve the quality of life, they have to pay the price of increased carbon emissions. Experts point out that although people can't avoid carbon emissions, they can reduce them. Everyone can't live a "zero carbon" life. At the moment when resources are scarce, what we have to do is to meet people's basic needs with limited resources and limit extravagance and waste. At the same time, we should develop the concept of "low-carbon life" and choose a natural, environmentally friendly and healthy lifestyle under replaceable conditions. \x0d\ In fact, it is not difficult to join the low-carbon group. The details of "low carbon life" run through all aspects of home life. Take electricity consumption in daily life as an example: good contact between plug and socket of household appliances can save electricity; Remove the scale on the electric heating tube of the electric kettle in time to improve the thermal efficiency; It is best to buy a 500-watt or 700-watt high-temperature electric iron for ironing clothes, which not only heats up quickly, but also saves electricity; Do not use "voice control, light control and remote control" as the control switch for all household appliances, which can save electricity 10% ~ 15%. In this way, everyone can make a positive contribution to controlling global warming. \x0d\ If I tell you that 235,000 tons of scrap iron can be recycled, 36 Eiffel Towers can be built; Recycling 6000 tons of waste aluminum can produce 74 Airbus aircraft; Recycling/kloc-0.2 million tons of glass can build 254 glass pyramids in the Louvre, so please think about it, just because you are lazy in sorting, you will throw away the earth on which we human beings depend! \x0d\ Some people may think that even if it is "low-carbon", it cannot prevent illegal emissions from industrial and mining enterprises. However, everyone will be punished for melting glaciers and deteriorating climate. "Low carbon life" actually brings a new concept of quality of life. What needs to be clarified is that living a "low-carbon life" does not mean that you can't drive, live in a big house or enjoy air conditioning. The real meaning of low carbon is to provide the greatest protection and comfort for people's health, with little impact on the environment or help to improve the environment. For example, many zero-emission buildings have been built in Europe, and the insulation effect is very good. Under the condition of natural ventilation, the insulation layer can adjust the indoor temperature to a suitable level and keep it for a long time. In the field of transportation, we can develop solar cars and biofuel cars, and at the same time vigorously develop public transportation. \x0d\ In fact, every ordinary citizen can enjoy a "low-carbon life" between gestures. The approachable 10 emission reduction cases listed on the homepage of Internet Forest, a public welfare environmental protection website advocating low-carbon lifestyle, are vivid and interesting: using one less plastic bag can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 0.1g; Below the fifth floor, taking the stairs instead of taking the elevator can reduce carbon dioxide by 600 grams on average every time; Choose seasonal vegetables and fruits to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 400g/kg. In summer, if the air conditioner is turned up by 1℃, the average daily carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced by 175g. Can a tree absorb 18.3 kg of carbon dioxide a year? . These tell us that a low-carbon life is around us, saving every piece of paper, using electricity every time, using less decorative lights in decoration and choosing energy-saving lamps are all things that ordinary people can do. \x0d\ In short, there are many ways to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in our daily life. As long as we all pay attention to it, our environment will get better and better. I believe everyone will work hard to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the future. Faced with the deterioration of the natural climate, people began to protect the earth's homeland from their daily behavior-starting a low-carbon life. There is only one earth. In the foreseeable future, it is impossible for human beings to find a second earth and conduct large-scale immigration. For the survival of mankind and the continuation of future generations, we must be kind to the earth!
