Are you low carbon today?

The global warming will have many unintended consequences. The glaciers will melt, many coastal cities will be inundated, the ice in the Antarctic and the Arctic will melt, the polar bears and penguins will be extinct, and more storms will be triggered. We humans also have great harm. Nowadays, there are many epidemics such as hand, foot and mouth disease, SARS, swine flu and avian flu in China. To protect the environment, people summed up a sentence: "Are you low carbon today?"

Is my low carbon today? I am reflecting on myself. I went out to eat and loved to use disposable chopsticks. I often think that this is a hygienic behavior; as well as the homework I used, for the sake of beauty, if the homework is dirty or broken, it will be replaced by one. I folded the rest of the paper into airplanes and boats and didn't know how to cherish the paper.

Everyone knows that paper and disposable chopsticks are made of big trees. A three-meter-high tree can make 5,000 sheets of paper. A tall tree 20 meters high can make 3,000 pairs of disposable chopsticks. If we Everyone saves a piece of paper a day, so our school can save 5,000 pieces of paper a week, which is equivalent to saving a big tree. If we three thousand people go out to eat without disposable chopsticks, it would save another big tree. What a terrible number!

Why is it that saving paper and not using disposable chopsticks is a low-carbon life? This is also to say from the role of the forest, the forest is a natural oxygen generator that can absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. A big tree can absorb 16 kilograms of carbon dioxide a day, 150 hectares of forest, and can put 100 tons of oxygen a day. Hectares of wood can absorb 720 kg of sulfur dioxide per year.

Therefore, saving paper and not using disposable chopsticks is equivalent to protecting the forest. Isn't this a low-carbon life?
