Each and every one of us is responsible for the greenhouse gases we emit in our daily actions and choices. Therefore, combating climate change is going to take the combined efforts of everyone on the planet.
The average household carbon footprint in China is 2.41 tons of carbon dioxide annually. That's enough to fill half an Olympic swimming pool.
Surprised? Well, here's how you can work to reduce it:
1.Get started by calculating your own carbon footprint. This will give you a starting point from which to begin monitoring your progress. You enter details such as what sort of apartment you live in, your personal energy use and travel habits.
2. Each week, choose one day when you don't eat meat. Meat uses up lots of energy because it takes a long time to produce. Animals produce methane, which is another dangerous greenhouse gas, when they burp and fart.
3. Only buy the amount of food you need and if there are leftovers, get creative. For instance, make them into a soup. Ask to take food home from restaurants if there's some left, but remember to take your own container to avoid using a disposable carton
低碳生活(low-carbon life)可以理解为:减少二氧化碳的排放,就是低能量、低消耗、低开支的生活。“节能减排”,不仅是当今社会的流行语,更是关系到人类未来的战略选择。提升“节能减排”意识,对自己的生活方式或者消费习惯进行简单易行的改变,一起减少全球温室气体(主要是减少二氧化碳)排放,意义十分重大。“低碳生活”节能环保,有利于减缓全球气候变暖和环境恶化的速度,势在必行。减少二氧化碳排放,选择“低碳生活”,是每位公民应尽的责任。 希望大家加入这有意义的活动!
