My low carbon coup

Once, I saw such a cartoon on the Internet: a polar bear stood on an ice floe in the Arctic, and his eyes were full of despair. My mother told me that this cartoon tells us that we can only live better if we only pursue a low-carbon life and reduce the damage to the natural environment.

Indeed, after the Copenhagen Global Climate Conference, the term “low carbon” has quickly become popular around the world. "Today, are you low-carbon?" This sentence has become a greeting between young people. What is low carbon? As the name suggests, it is to emit carbon dioxide-based greenhouse gases at a lower level. Simply put, it is environmental protection.

"The moon is full of horror, the breeze sings in the middle of the night. The rice flower fragrant says that the harvest is good, and the sound of the frog is heard." The beautiful natural scenery is infinitely yearning, but with the rise of the population and the development of the world industrial economy, the home we depend on. - The beautiful earth is facing more and more serious problems, the increase of carbon dioxide emissions, the Earth's mother's ozone layer crisis, the global climate rise, the melting of the glaciers in the Arctic and the Arctic, the sea level is rising... Maybe, In the near future, countries, cities and regions below sea level will be covered by the sea of ​​sputum, and the earth will encounter unprecedented disasters. Human beings get too much from the earth, she brings us punishment, and low-carbon life can make up for the crimes that we humans have committed.

In fact, it is not difficult to achieve low carbon. Low carbon is around us. I have already become a low-carbon family. I am happy to share my fashion low-carbon coup.

In terms of eating: I don’t have any leftovers for every meal. Going out to eat, I am determined not to use disposable tableware. Because disposable tableware not only wastes wood, but also emits a lot of greenhouse gases during the production process. In the summer, people eat ice cream or drinks. I drink pure water or cold water, which is both thirst-quenching and environmentally friendly.

In terms of the line: go to school or walk, or take the school bus. Go out and try to take the bus as much as possible, and never give up with my father's private car. This not only saves gasoline, but also reduces emissions.

In terms of use: wash hands before and after meals, I will open the faucet to a moderate amount, after washing, close the faucet in time, and choose to wipe the hand with a towel, never use a disposable paper towel. In the summer, I don’t have air conditioning during the day, I fan. In the evening, I set the air conditioner temperature above 27 degrees. After using it for a few hours, I turned it off and then set the electric fan. The food in the freezer is neatly arranged. I also put the water into the cold room, which not only prolongs the downtime of the freezer, but also reduces the boot time.

In terms of life: I planted a spider plant, a cactus that absorbs carbon dioxide and exhales oxygen on the balcony. Every morning, the first thing is to water the mother's rice water, which saves water and purifies it. The air. The discarded milk boxes at home, I cut them a little, I used them easily, made them into storage boxes, put tea leaves, mother's cosmetics, etc.; made table lamps and pen holders and put them on my desk. I also drank the dried tea leaves and dried them to make a tea pillow for my grandmother, which is both comfortable and helps sleep.

It's easy to do it, and with the manual movement, I became a low-carbon family. Classmates, achieving a low-carbon life is an attitude, not an ability. Let us act quickly, let us start with saving electricity, a piece of paper, a drop of water, and a grain of rice. Only when our life becomes low-carbon, the mother of the earth will be more beautiful!
