At the just-concluded Copenhagen Climate Conference, we deeply felt the concern of world leaders about climate and environment. In order to protect the environment and reduce carbon emissions, I thought of our daily necessities.
Clothes: Buy less unnecessary clothes. An ordinary garment, from raw materials to ready-made clothes, will emit carbon dioxide when it is finally discarded. Buying an unnecessary dress can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 2.5 kilograms. In addition, cotton clothes emit less carbon than chemical fiber clothes, and wearing more cotton clothes is also a part of low-carbon life.
Food: Vegetarian. The production of 1 kg beef emits 36.5 kg of carbon dioxide, while the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by fruits and vegetables is only 1/9 of this value. In addition, the carbon dioxide emissions of local fruits, vegetables and water are also less than those shipped from other places. In addition, a low-carbon diet also includes moderate drinking. If 1 person drinks less than 0.5 kg, carbon dioxide 1 kg can be reduced.
Live: choose a small apartment without too much decoration. Reducing decoration steel 1 kg can reduce carbon dioxide emission1.9 kg; Using less 0. 1 m3 of wood for decoration can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 64.3 kg.
Usage: save electricity and water. If you use 1 1 watt energy-saving lamp instead of 60 watt incandescent lamp, and light it for 4 hours every day, 1 energy-saving lamp can reduce carbon dioxide emission by 68.6 kg within 1 year; Turn off the lights and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 4.7 kg. If each air conditioner increases 1℃ on the basis of 26℃, it can reduce carbon dioxide emission by 2 1 kg every year. In addition, using less 1 plastic bag can reduce carbon dioxide emission by 0.1g; As long as 10% disposable chopsticks are used less, carbon 10.3 million tons can be reduced every year; Use elevators less, use TV, refrigerator, computer and other electrical appliances reasonably, and cut off their power supply in time. At work, one-sided paper should be reused, and people who can work electronically should use less paper.
Ok: drive less and choose a car with a small displacement. If you drive less than one day a month, each car can reduce 98kg of carbon dioxide emissions every year. If you choose public transportation or bicycles, you will emit less carbon dioxide. In addition, cars with a displacement of 1.3 liters reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 647 kilograms per year. By changing the air filter in time, maintaining proper tire pressure and turning off the engine in time, each car can reduce 400 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions every year. Not only low carbon but also carbon compensation
At this summit, many countries announced their carbon emission reduction targets. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China announced that China's carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP will be reduced by 40%-45% by 2020 compared with 2005, as decided by the State Council.
Previously, China has been taking action to reduce carbon emissions. In 2008, the "China Low-carbon Development Project" was launched, and the construction of a low-carbon city in China was officially launched. Shanghai and Baoding became the first pilot cities. In addition, recently, Zhu Lieke, deputy director of China State Forestry Administration, said that from 1980 to 2005, China reduced its carbon emissions by more than 5 billion tons through afforestation and other work.
In the folk, more and more ordinary people have joined the ranks of low-carbon life. Not long ago, an online low-carbon survey involving 65,438+5,000 people showed that 73.08% people used to use paper on both sides, 83.33% people brought their own shopping bags, 79.49% people could consciously adjust the air-conditioning temperature to 26℃, and 83.34% people were willing to participate in environmental protection activities organized by environmental protection volunteers. Moreover, many people will write down their "carbon footprint" and urge themselves to reduce carbon. Some people will share their tips on carbon reduction with others, and they often participate in activities such as "old exchange" and "green travel". In addition, low-carbon housing, low-carbon clothing, low-carbon cars and so on. And more integrated into life.
In addition, some foreign carbon reduction practices are also worth learning. Japan and the European Union have completely banned incandescent lamps. Take the EU as an example, every household will reduce 32 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions after using energy-saving lamps.
Only each of us can start from small things and strive to be a low-carbon and environmentally-friendly citizen.
