Now a word that appears more and more frequently in the news media is "low carbon". What is low carbon? Lower (lower) emissions of greenhouse gases (mainly carbon dioxide). I believe you are not unfamiliar with the two words "greenhouse effect and global warming". Creating a low-carbon environment is not only for ourselves, but also for the benefit of future generations. Low carbon emission reduction, starting from me, from the small things around.
How to achieve low carbon life
1. Walk or cycle to work:
If you are a car owner, if you live not very far away from the unit, please walk or bike to work. You may have sacrificed dozens of minutes of sleep, but what you gain is fresh air, scenery along the way and more and more healthy body; you have also made a contribution to reduce the burden of heavy traffic. Why not do it with one stone?
2. Saving printing paper:
As we all know, paper is made from trees, and trees are a natural carbon dioxide absorber, which can also produce oxygen and purify the air. Without trees, the earth would not be able to imagine what it would be like! We advocate that the printed documents should be double-sided. The back of some advertising papers is blank, which can be reused. In this way, we have saved half of the trees that were to be cut down!
3. Use a handkerchief instead of a tissue:
I don't know how many people remember that we used to use handkerchief whether we were wiping tears or corners of our mouth. Don't think it's an old thing of the last century. It's a symbol of environmental protection. Tissue is also a product of trees. The utilization rate of paper towel is lower than that of printing paper. It is likely that only the small piece in the middle is used and then discarded. Please have a handkerchief in your pocket.
4. Reject disposable chopsticks:
Everything about trees is everywhere in life. I think there are not a few friends who ask to use disposable chopsticks for fear that the waiter doesn't clean the chopsticks carefully. Why don't you carry it yourself? Now there are folding tableware for sale. It's easy to carry, and it doesn't take up space to put it in the bag.
5. Reject plastic bags:
Once upon a time, there were red, blue, white and green plastic bags at home, which were brought back when shopping in the vegetable market and supermarket. If it can be repeatedly filled with non food items, it's OK to say that if it is broken and can't be used, it will be thrown into the garbage heap, but it is hard to decompose the plastic bags, and it will seriously pollute the environment. With the introduction of the "plastic restriction order", fewer and fewer people use plastic bags. Instead, they use reusable shopping bags. I hope businesses and buyers can continue to adhere to it!
6. Use less disposable toiletries:
Now friends who stay in hotels on business will find that many washrooms have slogans to remind them to reuse towels. I suggest that if you often go out, you'd better bring your own toothwares and towels. On the one hand, you can save disposable items. On the other hand, you should also consider personal hygiene.
7. Water saving:
There are many places to use water in our life. If we do not use it sparingly, I am afraid it will be like the public service advertisement, "in the near future, the last drop of water on the earth will be our tears". We should learn to reuse water. For example, the water for washing vegetables can be used to flush the toilet. The rice washing water has a certain effect on removing the oil from the bowl. The water used for washing clothes can be used to wash mops As long as we are willing to take one more turn, we can make good use of every drop of water.
8. Power saving:
Electricity is also indispensable in life. Saving electricity is generally reflected in the details. For example, if you go out of the house, you can turn off the switch; if you replace the ordinary light bulb with an energy-saving light bulb, the wattage should not be too bright, as long as you can not damage your eyesight; don't open the refrigerator frequently. Here is a small trick. You can record all the things in the refrigerator on a piece of paper. What you need to take, just look at the paper and you don't have to be confused and always look for the final hair In fact, it's not in it at all. If you buy an air conditioner, you can choose energy-saving air conditioner. In summer, you can raise the temperature of the air conditioner to reduce emissions and avoid air-conditioning diseases. If the living floors are high, it is recommended to install solar water heaters.
9. Rejecting "house"
Nowadays, there are more and more "homestead men and housewives". I don't think this is a very good phenomenon. At least, if you stay at home, you will increase your electricity consumption: surfing the Internet, watching TV, listening to music In the long run, it is not good for physical and mental health. So, it's good for you to go out for a walk, go to the park, play badminton with your family, and get together with friends to get in touch with each other.
10. Turning waste into treasure
Maybe you have a lot of clothes and trousers that you don't like. Maybe you have a lot of cartons piled up at home. Maybe you are worried about how to deal with the flower paper Don't throw it. Because as long as they are slightly transformed, they can be completely new, become an ornament, or become a new utility.
