The ideal form of a "low-carbon economy" is to fully develop a "sunshine economy," a "wind economy," a "hydrogen economy," and a "biomass economy. The ideal form of "low-carbon economy" is to fully develop "sunshine economy", "wind energy economy", "hydrogen energy economy" and "biomass energy economy". However, at this stage, the cost of solar power generation is 5-10 times higher than that of coal power and hydropower, and the price of wind power generation in some areas is higher than that of coal power and hydropower; as a secondary energy source of hydrogen energy, it is still far from the commercialization goal of using clean energy extracted from wind and solar energy; and the development of biofuels at the cost of massive consumption of food and oilseed crops has to a certain extent triggered the rise in the prices of food, meat and edible oil. From a worldwide perspective, it is expected that solar power will only reach 10% of the world's electricity supply by 2030, while the world's proven oil, natural gas and coal reserves will be depleted in the next 40, 60 and 100 years or so, respectively. Therefore, in the next few decades of the transition from the "era of carbon fuel civilization" to the "era of solar energy civilization" (wind energy and biomass energy are all converted forms of solar energy), the "low-carbon economy One of the important meanings of "low carbon economy" and "low carbon life" is to save the consumption of fossil energy and provide time guarantee for the popularization and utilization of new energy. Especially from China's energy structure, low carbon means energy saving, low carbon economy is based on low energy consumption and low pollution economy.
"Kick the habit! The theme of the Environment Day "facing the low-carbon economy" suggests that the "low-carbon economy" not only means that the manufacturing industry to speed up the elimination of high energy consumption, high pollution of backward production capacity, promote energy saving and emission reduction of scientific and technological innovation, but also means to guide the public to reflect on which habitual consumption patterns and lifestyle is a waste of energy, pollution, bad habits. Energy, pollution increase in bad habits, so as to fully explore the service industry and consumer life in the field of energy saving and emission reduction of huge potential. One of the important ways to shift to a low-carbon economy and a low-carbon lifestyle is to give up the hobby of "convenience consumption" at the expense of high energy consumption. "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 18,000 tons of standard coal, emission reductions of about 45,000 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 to and from work, 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 to establish a green lifestyle.
"Low-carbon life" is a new concept, put forward is the world's sustainable development of the old problem, which reflects the future of mankind due to climate change concerns, the world's **** knowledge of this issue is increasing. Climate issues such as global warming have forced mankind to consider the current ecological environment. Humans 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 with different views on the causes of climate change, the concept of "low-carbon life" at least conforms to the principle of prudence of human beings to "save for a rainy day" and the pursuit of the perfect mentality and ideals, and therefore, "we would rather believe in it than not believe in it", so "we would rather believe in it than not believe in it". Therefore, we would rather believe in what we have than believe in what we don't", and the concept of "low-carbon life" has gradually been accepted by countries all over 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 Badaling, Beijing, a carbon sink forest has taken shape. If you want to offset your carbon emissions, you can come here to buy a carbon sink forest or plant trees. Forestry carbon sinks are used to reduce carbon dioxide in the air by absorbing and fixing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and releasing oxygen through the implementation of activities such as afforestation and forest management and vegetation restoration. The idea of purchasing carbon sink forests is welcomed by more people than driving less and turning on less air-conditioning. 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.
What kind of people can be regarded as "low-carbon people" and what does "low-carbon" stand for? Simply put, "low carbon" is a habit of life, a natural habit of saving resources around you, as long as you are willing to take the initiative to discipline yourself and improve your habits, you can join in. Of course, low-carbon does not mean that you have to deliberately thrift, deliberately to give up some of the enjoyment of life, as long as you can do from the life of the little by little more savings, not waste, can also live a comfortable "low-carbon life". Copenhagen climate change summit since the opening of December 7, has been crowned "the most important meeting ever", "change the fate of the planet meeting" and other heavyweight titles. The conference, which seeks to establish a global framework for greenhouse gas emissions, has also caused many people to reflect y on the current production and lifestyle of human beings. Greenhouse gases make the earth fever more than 200 years, with the deepening of the industrialization process, a large number of greenhouse gases, mainly carbon dioxide emissions, so that the global temperature rise, climate change, which is an indisputable fact. 8 December, the World Meteorological Organization released in advance of the "Global Climate Situation in 2009," the report pointed out that in recent years, the global climate has been the highest on record. On December 8, the World Meteorological Organization released in advance of the "2009 Global Climate Status" report pointed out that the last 10 years are the hottest 10 years on record. In addition, global warming has also made the Antarctic glaciers began to melt, which in turn led to sea level rise. The latest survey published by Finnish and German scholars shows that the sea level may rise by 1.9 meters by the end of this century, far exceeding previous expectations. If this development continues, the South Pacific island nation of Tuvalu will probably be the first island nation to disappear in the ocean. A study published by the U.S. media on Dec. 5 pointed out that the Earth's fever has also caused a huge crisis to human health. First, allergies are aggravated, the study shows, as carbon dioxide levels and temperatures gradually rise, the flowering season comes earlier, allowing pollen production to increase, making spring allergies worse. Secondly, species are becoming more and more "pocket-sized", as global temperatures rise, organisms are becoming smaller, as seen in Scottish sheep. Third, kidney stones are on the rise. Researchers predict that by 2050, 2.2 million people will be suffering from urinary stones as a result of warmer temperatures and increased dehydration. Fourth, outbreaks of exogenous infectious diseases, where warmer temperatures in water environments can cause mosquitoes and plankton to proliferate, causing occasional outbreaks of dengue fever, malaria and encephalitis. Fifth, lung infections are aggravated in the summer. Higher temperatures and reduced cool winds can exacerbate ozone pollution, which is highly susceptible to lung infections. Sixth, algal blooms cause disease. Rising water temperatures lead to rapid cyanobacterial blooms, which contaminate everything from municipal water systems to natural lakes, causing digestive, neurological, liver and skin diseases.
