I remember last summer, the weather was very hot, my family and I "hid" at home watching TV. My dad left the couch, walked under the air conditioner, looked for the remote control, and pressed it a few times. Then he went back to the sofa and sat down. I asked my dad curiously, "Dad, what did you do just now?" I asked him, "Dad, what did you just do?" Dad said, "Nothing!" I don't believe it, so I put on my shoes, walked under the air conditioner, picked up the air conditioner remote control, and took a look, ah, it turned out that dad had set the air conditioner to 24 degrees Celsius, I said to my mom, "Mom, you quickly tell dad to ask him to turn off the air conditioner, if we turn off the air conditioner, and turn on the electric fan, then how much carbon emissions can be reduced ah!" And save energy for nature again.
I remember another time, my mom and I were going to buy paper plates, and since we were going to use them the next day, we went to the supermarket in the evening. When we left the house, my mom said to me, "Where to park the car at the supermarket in a while?" I quickly said to my mom, "No, no, no! If we drive there, there is no place to park, and most importantly, how much carbon will be emitted if we drive there!" Mom listened to my words, accompanied me to the supermarket.
Low-carbon life is only an attitude, not the ability, we should start from the small things such as saving electricity, water, carbon, oil, gas, low carbon life is a green lifestyle we want to establish, as long as we go to action, we can be close to the low carbon life, and even can reach the standard of low carbon life.
The rice water can be used to wash your face and hands, tea dregs can be dried to make tea pillows, replace electronic alarm clocks with traditional clockwork alarm clocks, and unplug electrical appliances as you go ......These seemingly inadvertent actions are all about reducing carbon for the planet. Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau experts said, "low-carbon life" is actually saving water, electricity, gas and recycling of the four major elements, specific to the lives of citizens, are some of the smallest thing to do.
Low-carbon living, in fact, not only related to environmental protection, resource conservation and other grand propositions. Even on a personal level, it has many benefits -- not only in terms of saving money, but also in terms of physical and mental health. For example, choosing to travel by bicycle, on foot, or by bus; for example, using less electricity, less paper, and saving a drop of water; and for example, using environmentally friendly shopping bags and adopting a green tree. ......
1) "Low Carbon Living" Thoughts
Now the city, the country, and even the world are vigorously publicizing "low carbon". So why "low carbon"? The purpose is to protect the earth, so that human beings can live on the earth for a longer time.
The current concern about "warming" is serious environmental damage. It is because people burn fossil minerals to generate energy or produce many greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide when they cut down forests and burn them, and also through the greenhouse gases emitted by refrigerators and so on, which leads to warming of the climate.
In fact, the causes of environmental degradation are not only these reasons, I also learned from the Internet: a medium-sized supermarket open freezer a year more than the consumption of about 4. 80,000 kWh of electricity, the equivalent of more than 19 tons of coal, more than the emission of about 48 tons of carbon dioxide, more than about 190,000 liters of clean water. This data is how amazing ah! In fact, we do not need to be very exaggerated to protect the environment, just a show of hands, such as: buy transport mileage short items, insist on climbing stairs, cycling or walking to work and school ...... In short, everything can be.
Let's take action to protect the environment and the planet we live on!
(2) Low-carbon life
Now everyone is talking about low-carbon life, but there are still a lot of people did not do, so what to do is considered low-carbon life?
In fact, to do low carbon is very simple, is to use less electrical appliances, if you can also use the original, traditional methods to replace the use of machines, electrical appliances to do.
So how to do a more comprehensive low-carbon life? It is best to do the following: First, less TV, less Internet. Read more books and go out more often to do sports. This not only protects the eyes and can learn knowledge, but also exercise, how good ah! Second, use a water-saving shower head, which not only saves water, but also reduces the carbon dioxide caused by the ordinary three-minute hot shower by half. Third, change the 45-minute exercise on the treadmill to jogging in the park, you can reduce the carbon dioxide emissions of nearly a kilogram, which not only saves electricity, but also can breathe the fresh air outside, it is really two birds with one stone, ah!
Listening to the above introduction, I believe that you must also understand the low-carbon knowledge! We should protect the environment, for the protection of the earth to make a contribution.
(3) My Low-Carbon Trip to Changsha
During the summer vacation, our family took a plane to Changsha and found that Changsha is an environmentally friendly and low-carbon city.
After arriving at Changsha, as soon as we left the airport, on the way to my aunt's house by cab, I found that the roads in Changsha were very clean, and there was no garbage on the sidewalks next to them, and the air in Changsha was especially fresh
After arriving at my aunt's house, my cousin came to pick us up, and on the way there, I asked my cousin, "Is there no ban on motorcycles in Changsha? " I asked my cousin: "Changsha has not banned motorcycles?" My cousin answered: "Yes, these are all electric cars. At this time I thought to myself: no wonder the air here is so good, it turns out that all the cars used here are electric cars. Although the electric car is low-carbon and environmentally friendly, but it drives without sound, it is very easy to traffic accidents, I almost got hit by an electric car several times.
On the second day of our visit to Changsha, we went to the Orange Island Scenic Spot, which is located by the Xiangjiang River, where we saw the beautiful scenery and the statue of Chairman Mao, as well as the poems he wrote. I feel that it is very beautiful and the environment is well protected. The vehicles for tourists are all electric and environmentally conscious.
On the third day, we finished our tour in Changsha and took the high-speed train back to Guangzhou. The high-speed train is very fast, with a maximum speed of 350 kilometers per hour, and it takes only two hours from Changsha to Guangzhou. After returning to Guangzhou, I also learned from the Internet that the carbon emission of a person by high-speed rail is 33% of that by airplane, and it is really environmentally friendly and fast to take high-speed rail. So you should prefer train and high-speed rail when you go out to travel, and contribute to the protection of the earth.
(4) Environmental changes around the Asian Games year
The Asian Games is going to be held, I am in Guangzhou, where the Asian Games will be held, of course, I can feel the changes in Guangzhou, which makes me feel the biggest change is the "BRT" and environmental protection bicycle station.
"BRT" full name "Bus Rapid Transit Route", the station is well-equipped, there are sunshades, spray fans, and seats. The buses are brand new. The buses in the "BRT" are on bus-only routes, and their speed is much higher than before, making it easier for people to travel. "BRT" is also very affordable, unilateral ride only 2 yuan, and the same side of the transfer is free. Bus travel is environmentally friendly, low-carbon, if people travel by bus, will greatly reduce the exhaust emissions from cars, Guangzhou's environment will become better.
Environmental bike stations are gradually emerging in Guangzhou, so what does it do? It makes people pay attention to low-carbon life, and people can rent bicycles. Some people are close to their workplace, so they just ride their bikes to work, and if they are far away, they can ride their bikes to the bus station or subway station, which is much lower carbon than driving their own private cars to work.
With these environmental protection measures, the air in Guangzhou is much better than before. I believe that Guangzhou will be able to host the Asian Games, and I hope that the environment in Guangzhou will be better in the future.
The so-called "low-carbon life". It is the process of minimizing the amount of energy consumed in our daily lives to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emissions. Low-carbon life is a kind of life attitude for us ordinary people. It presents us with the question of whether we are willing to create a low-carbon life with everyone ****. We should actively advocate and go to practice low-carbon life, to pay attention to power saving, gas saving, lights out for an hour ...... from these little things to do. In addition to planting trees, there are people who buy goods with short transportation mileage, and some people insist on climbing stairs, in all shapes and sizes, some of which are fun and some of which are not without some trouble.
Carbon dioxide
But people concerned about global warming have brought carbon dioxide reduction into their lives. One of the most important ways to shift to a low-carbon lifestyle is to give up the hobby of "convenience consumption" at the expense of energy-consuming sources. "Convenience" is a popular value in modern commercial marketing and consumer life. Many convenience consumption methods waste huge amounts of energy without people realizing it. For example, according to refrigeration technology experts estimate that 70% of the supermarket power consumption for the freezer, and open freezer power consumption than the glass door freezer 20% higher. From this projection, a medium-sized supermarket open freezers a year more than about 4. 80,000 degrees of electricity, equivalent to more than about 19 tons of standard coal, more than about 48 tons of carbon dioxide emissions, more than about 190,000 liters of clean water. Shanghai has nearly 800 large and medium-sized supermarkets, supermarkets and convenience stores 6,000. If the large and medium-sized supermarkets generally use glass door freezers, customers only need to raise their hands when shopping, a year can save about 45.21 million degrees of electricity, equivalent to saving about 1.8 million tons of standard coal, emission reduction of about 4.5 million tons of carbon dioxide. In China, the annual per capita CO2 emissions of 2.7 tons, but an urban white-collar workers even if only 40 square feet of living space, driving 1.6L car commuting, 12 times a year by plane, carbon emissions will be in 2611 kg. From this point of view, energy saving and emission reduction is imperative. If the protection of the environment, animal protection, energy saving these environmental protection concepts have become a code of conduct, low-carbon life is more urgent need to establish a green lifestyle. Although the "low-carbon life" is a new concept, but put forward is the world's sustainable development of the old problem, which reflects the human race due to climate change and the future concerns, the world's **** knowledge of this issue is increasing. Global warming and other climate issues have caused mankind to consider the current ecological environment.
Personal Awareness
Human beings are aware that excessive carbon emissions from production and consumption are one of the major factors contributing to the climate problem, and that reducing carbon emissions requires optimizing and restricting certain consumption and production activities accordingly. Although there are still scholars who have different views on the causes of climate change, the concept of "low-carbon life" at least conforms to the principle of prudence of "saving for a rainy day" and the pursuit of perfection of human psychology and ideals, and therefore, "I would rather believe in it than not believe in it", so "I would rather believe in it than not believe in it".
The concept of "low carbon living" has gradually been accepted by countries around the world. The emergence of low-carbon life not only tells people what you can do to reduce carbon emissions, but also tells people what you can do. With the gradual emergence of this lifestyle, people are beginning to be concerned about whether or not I have done anything to reduce carbon emissions today. In Beijing's Badaling, a carbon sink forest has taken shape.
Forestry carbon sinks
If you want to offset your carbon emissions, you can come here to buy a carbon sink forest or plant trees. Forestry carbon sink is through the implementation of afforestation and forest management, vegetation restoration and other activities, the chloroplasts in the leaves of plants through photosynthesis to absorb water, inorganic salts and water in the soil, the release of oxygen through the sieve tube to the manufacture of organic matter and then transported to the soil, the soil of the fungi and bacteria and then decomposition of the organic matter, thus generating a cycle of material, for the low-carbon aspects of the role played in reducing the role of carbon dioxide in the air. The idea of purchasing carbon sink forests, rather than driving less and running less air conditioning, is popular among people. At present, the main measures to slow down climate warming are emission reduction and sink enhancement. Compared with the means of emission reduction, forestry carbon sink measures have become an important means of slowing down climate warming because of their low cost, multiple benefits and ease of operation. The core content of low-carbon life is low pollution, low consumption and low emission, as well as more saving.
The earth is the home we depend on for survival, the mother of our species, and our indispensable dependence. So we have to take care of the earth and cherish every bit of its resources.
Think about the Earth in the past, once so beautiful and rich, she is like a mother, and constantly provide human beings with all kinds of resources to survive. But now, countries due to improper environmental protection and the emergence of hurricanes, blizzards, floods and other natural disasters have abounded ...... to the world's people to bring endless suffering and loss.
I remember reading articles describing the Sete Cadas Falls, which was originally so imposing, with the raging river roaring down close to the cliffs in a torrential cascade. It was once the pride of the peoples of Brazil and Paraguay. Now, it is withered and dying, like an old man at the end of his life. Soon it will disappear completely. It is even more alarming to relate to the severe drought that has recently occurred in the southwest of China. "The landscape of Guilin is the best in the world," but most of the riverbed of the Li River is now exposed, and its former beauty has long since disappeared; similarly, the Huangguoshu Waterfalls in Guizhou have shrunk to about one-fourth of their size at the same time in previous years; and due to the drought and lack of water, the wheat in a town in Mile County, Yunnan Province, has been reduced to about one-fourth of its size at the same time in previous years. Because of the drought and lack of water, a town in Mile County, wheat, corn and other crops are all out of harvest, people will face the danger of food cuts; even in the disaster area in Yunnan, a ton of river water has been sold to 50 yuan.
Reading these, I was y shocked. I was heartbroken for the people in the disaster area, but also displeased with the selfishness of human beings. Come to think of it, people cut down indiscriminately and recklessly for their own interests, causing a massive loss of soil and water on the earth. For example, in order to obtain timber and to expand the area of arable land, some countries in Asia have been deforesting and clearing the land and deforesting the forests indiscriminately. In the short span of 20 years, from 1970 to 1990, the forest area of India was reduced by 40%, with the result that floods and droughts in India were exacerbated. Africa's forests have been deforested by nearly 50 percent since the 1940s. Hundreds of millions of people in Africa are threatened by starvation and water shortages as forests continue to decline, deserts spread, and droughts rage. The tropical rainforest of the Amazon River in South America, the largest watershed in the world, has been called the "treasure trove of mankind". The watershed of the Amazon River covers an area of more than 7.05 million square kilometers. Now, the area of the rainforest is decreasing dramatically. If the rainforests in the Amazon River basin are destroyed, mankind will be faced with a great disaster. Many resources needed by mankind could have been constantly regenerated and contributed to mankind for a long time, but ruthless mankind destroyed them, causing a series of ecological disasters.
Finally, the harsh facts have awakened people's conscience to protect the earth. People began to take action to protect our beautiful Mother Earth, trying to increase green vegetation and reduce indiscriminate felling. All countries recognize *** with the importance of protecting the environment, the 2009 Copenhagen World Climate Conference fully embodies this *** awareness of protecting the environment.
Here, I call on us to *** with hand in hand, from the little drop to start, love and care for our mother earth, reject pollution, protect the ecological environment, so that the land from barren to rich, so that the beauty of the earth to return, so that human beings no longer have to suffer and hurt!
