There are many low-carbon life tips in life:
1. Use cloth bags instead of plastic bags
Although less production of 1 plastic bag can only save about 0.04 g standard coal, and correspondingly reduce carbon dioxide by 0. 1 g, due to the huge daily consumption of plastic bags, if the use of plastic bags in China is reduced by 10%, it can save about10.2 million tons of standard coal and reduce carbon dioxide by 3 1 10,000 per year.
2. Reduce the use of disposable chopsticks
China is a country with a large population, and a large number of disposable chopsticks will consume a lot of forestry resources. If the use of disposable chopsticks in China is reduced by 10%, it can be equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about103,000 tons every year.
3. Use elevators as little as possible.
At present, the annual power consumption of elevators in China is about 30 billion kWh. By taking the stairs on the lower floor and only partially opening several elevators during the rest time, the electricity consumption of elevators can be reduced by about 10%. In this way, each elevator can save 5000 kwh of electricity every year, and correspondingly reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 4.8 tons. About 600,000 elevators in China can save 3 billion kWh of electricity every year by taking such measures, which is equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 2.88 million tons.
4. Use the refrigerator to save energy.
(1) Choose an energy-saving refrigerator.
Compared with ordinary refrigerators, the 1 energy-saving refrigerator can save about 100 kwh of electricity every year, and correspondingly reduce the carbon dioxide emission 100 kg. If the newly sold14.27 million refrigerators meet the standard of energy-saving refrigerators every year, the country can save electricity147 billion kwh every year and reduce carbon dioxide emissions 14 10000 tons.
(2) Rational use of refrigerators
If the opening time of the refrigerator is reduced by 3 minutes every day, 1 year can save 30 kwh of electricity, and correspondingly reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 30 kg; Defrost the refrigerator in time, saving electricity 184 degrees per year, and correspondingly reducing carbon dioxide emissions 177 kilograms. If these measures are widely adopted in 65.438+0.5 billion refrigerators nationwide, 7.38 billion kWh of electricity can be saved and 7.08 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced every year.
5. Use computers and printers reasonably.
(1) When you are not using the computer, please use the standby mode instead of the screen saver.
When the computer is not in use, use standby instead of screen protection, each desktop can save electricity by 6.3 degrees per year, and correspondingly reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 6 kilograms; Each notebook computer can save electricity 1.5 kwh per year, and correspondingly reduce carbon dioxide 1.4 kg. If all the 77 million computers in China adopt this measure, 450 million kWh of electricity will be saved and 430,000 tons of carbon dioxide will be reduced every year.
(2) Replace CRT screen with LCD computer screen.
Compared with traditional CRT screens, LCD screens can save energy by about 50%, and each screen can save electricity by about 20 degrees per year, thus reducing carbon dioxide emissions 19.2kg ... If all 40 million CRT screens are replaced by LCD screens, it will save about 800 million kWh of electricity and 769,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year.
(3) Turn down the brightness of the computer screen
Turn down the brightness of the computer screen, each desktop can save about 30 degrees of electricity every year, and correspondingly reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 29 kilograms; Each notebook computer can save about 15 kWh of electricity every year, and correspondingly reduce carbon dioxide emissions 14.6 kg. If this measure is taken for about 77 million computer screens in China, it will save about 2.3 billion kWh of electricity and 2.2 million tons of carbon dioxide every year.
(4) Turn off the printer when not in use.
When not in use, turn off the printer's power supply, and each printer can save electricity 10 degrees per year, and correspondingly reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 9.6 kilograms. If this measure is taken for about 30 million printers in China, the country can save about 300 million kWh of electricity and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 288,000 tons every year.
Step 6 Use TV rationally
(1) Turn on the TV for half an hour every day.
If you turn on the TV for half an hour every day, each TV can save electricity by about 20 degrees per year, and accordingly reduce carbon dioxide emissions 19.2kg ... If one tenth of the TV sets in China reduce the optional turn-on time by half an hour every day, then the country can save about 700 million kWh and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 670,000 tons every year.
(2) Turn down the brightness of the TV screen
Setting the TV screen to medium brightness can not only achieve the most comfortable visual effect, but also save electricity. Each TV set saves about 5.5 kwh of electricity every year, which correspondingly reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 5.3 kg. If this measure is taken for about 350 million TV sets in China, the country can save about 654.38+0.9 billion kWh of electricity every year and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 654.38+0.84 million tons.
7. Turn off the electrical appliances at an appropriate time.
(1) When not in use, the drinking machine will turn off the power supply.
According to statistics, the drinking fountain is really used for about 9 hours every day, and it is basically idle at other times, thus wasting nearly two-thirds of the electricity. Turn off the power supply when the drinking fountains are idle, and each drinking fountain can save about 366 kwh of electricity every year, thus reducing the carbon dioxide emission by 35 1kg. If this measure is taken for about 40 million drinking fountains in China, it will save about 65.438+0.45 billion kWh of electricity and 65.438+0.405 million tons of carbon dioxide every year.
(2) Unplug household appliances in time.
Television, washing machine, microwave oven, air conditioner and other household appliances are still consuming electricity in standby state. If all the 390 million households in China are unplugged after use, it will save about 2.03 billion kWh each year, and correspondingly reduce the carbon dioxide emissions by 65.438+0.97 million tons.
