Low-carbon

“low-carbon” is one of the most popular buzz-words in this year. Not only China but all countries focus on the topic of “low-carbon”.

Here, I’d like to share my own experience abroad with you. Several years ago, I was very lucky to have an opportunity to live in the Australia about half a month. During that time, Not only did I enjoy the beautiful natural scenery there, but also I appreciated the people’s active way of protecting their environment. Now, whenever the environment protection is mentioned, the beautiful scenery of Australia will arise in my mind, white clouds flying across the blue sky, green grassplot sprinkled with colorful flowers and lovely squirrels playing happily among the trees. As a citizen of China, if everyone can actively protect the environment in our daily life and if we would like to reduce our carbon footprint, the scenery of blue sky, green grass and lovely animals in Australia will appear in China, even in HeFei.

But I totally support the view, that is to say, Emotion without action is irrelevant! Do you unplug electronics after you use them? Do you switch off everything before you go to sleep? Do you adjust your TV screen a bit dimmer to save energy? Do you re-use water for different activities around the house? Each of these seemingly insignificant adjustments in your daily life can make a difference in saving the environment of tomorrow.

We all know that nothing is more comfortable than sitting in the warmth of a hearted car while it’s snowing and hailing outside in the freezing cold…But with global warming and even global cooling becoming more pressing by the day, not to mention your own health, take a walk ,ride a bike ,reduce your carbon footprint on the environment .It is said that tiny streams can be combined into a vast ocean, small trees can be an immense forest, and every little makes a mickle.

“low-carbon” is not just a buzz-word but a goal that people from all over the world wanna get. So, reduce carbon footprint! Reduce damage! Save energy! Save the world!

第二篇：英语办信息报道低碳生活

低碳生活，从我做起

——记东湖小学低碳环保活动

英语办 沈海峰

为切实加强学校环境教育，提高小学生环保意识，使小学生养成保护环境、合理利用资源的良好品质，从小树立人与自然和谐相处的理念，近日，东湖小学开展了“低碳环保从我做起”主题活动。培养学生对自然界具有道德责任和义务的生态道德观念，让低碳成为人们的自觉追求和持久行动。“爱护环境，从我做起”这一主题，突出保护环境从我做起，从小做起，从身边小事做起，如节约用电用纸、减少废气排放、垃圾分类处理等。人人动起手来，创建美好的家园。 低碳生活就是反璞归真地去进行人与自然的活动，我们教育孩子可以从以下生活的点滴做起：

1.少用餐巾纸，重拾手帕，保护森林。

2.随手关灯，拔插头。

3.每张纸都双面打印，相当于保留半片原本被砍掉的森林。

4.少用一只塑料袋不仅节省0.5元钱，更重要的是减少它造成的污染。

通过这次活动使学生们进一步认识了环境保护的重要性，增强了青少年的环保意识，更好地培养他们的责任意识和社会意识，也使广大学生从小养成爱护环境，合理利用资源的良好习惯。
