The earth is our mother, and it provides all kinds of resources for human beings to live on without reservation, but we don't know how to cherish these resources. We also destroy natural resources at will, such as deforestation and waste gas emission, which leads to soil erosion, trees being replaced by yellow sand, destructive storms increasing and biological species decreasing. Aren't these man-made
Scientists have found that at least 100 kinds of air pollutants are harmful to the environment, among which sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and hydrofluorocarbons are harmful to human body. Tail gas and dust emitted by industrial production and transportation are the main ways to cause air pollution. Dust particles in industrial waste gas will also adsorb many toxic and harmful substances, and these pollutants will have various chemical reactions in the atmosphere, producing more pollutants and forming secondary pollution. The accumulation of air pollutants in the air leads to the decline of air quality, which directly harms human health, destroys the ozone layer and causes global warming. Environmental problems have developed into global problems, even affecting the survival and development of all mankind. The latest research shows that Neanderthals died out in a sudden climate change.
According to a document I collected, "environmental problems are caused by unreasonable exploitation and utilization of natural resources by human beings." Shocking environmental problems mainly include air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution, food pollution and improper development and utilization of natural resources. "Iron facts tell us that they are ruthlessly devouring human life like demons. It threatens the ecological balance, harms human health, restricts the sustainable development of economy and society, and puts human beings in a dilemma.
Low-carbon life is just an attitude, not an ability. We should start with such small things as saving electricity, water, carbon, oil and solar terms. Low-carbon life is a green lifestyle we want to build. As long as we act, we can approach the low-carbon life and even reach the standard of low-carbon life.
Low-carbon economy is an economic model based on low energy consumption, low pollution and low emission, and it is another great progress of human society after agricultural civilization and industrial civilization. The ideal form of low carbon economy is to fully develop sunshine economy, wind energy economy, hydrogen energy economy and biomass energy economy. Its essence is the problem of high energy utilization efficiency, clean energy structure and pursuit of green GDP, and its core is the fundamental change of energy technology innovation, system innovation and human survival and development concept. The development mode of low-carbon economy provides an operable interpretation for energy saving and emission reduction, developing circular economy and building a harmonious society. It is a comprehensive innovation and practice to implement Scientific Outlook on Development and build a conservation-oriented society. It fully conforms to the development ideas put forward in the report of the 17th National Congress, is the only way for China to achieve sustainable economic development, is an irreversible epoch-making trend, and is a global revolution involving production mode, lifestyle and values. Professor Min, a famous low-carbon economist and former deputy director of the State Environmental Protection Agency, believes that low-carbon economy is the most feasible and quantifiable sustainable development model at present. Globally, it is estimated that solar power generation will only reach 65,438+00% of the world's electricity supply by 2030, and the world's proven oil, natural gas and coal reserves will be exhausted in the next 40 years, 60 years and 65,438+000 years respectively. Therefore, one of the important meanings of "low-carbon economy" and "low-carbon life" is to save the consumption of fossil energy and provide time guarantee for the popularization and utilization of new energy in the next few decades when "carbon fuel civilization era" transits to "solar energy civilization era". Especially from the energy structure of China, low carbon means energy saving, and low carbon economy is based on low energy consumption and low pollution. Low-carbon economy covers almost all industrial fields. Lin Hui, a famous scholar, called it "the fifth global industrial wave", and extended the low-carbon connotation to: low-carbon society, low-carbon economy, low-carbon production, low-carbon consumption, low-carbon life, low-carbon city, low-carbon community, low-carbon family, low-carbon tourism, low-carbon culture, low-carbon philosophy, low-carbon art, low-carbon music, low-carbon life, low-carbon existentialism and low-carbon lifestyle for the first time. Internationally, a country's carbon emissions are used to measure its energy consumption. At present, China's carbon emissions rank first in the world. The United Nations is promoting international cooperation to reduce carbon emissions and stipulating the allowable carbon dioxide emissions of each country. There are signs that carbon emissions in the future may replace paper money as the future currency. Developed countries are scrambling to build wind and solar power plants in China in order to buy a high price in the future and exchange the generated electricity for a large amount of carbon emissions in China. These are all traps set by developed countries. People's green energy technology is very mature, even if they don't give it to us, they won't sell it. Instead, we continue to enslave us by using this established new rule.
It is the responsibility of every citizen to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and choose a "low-carbon life". Computers, lights, air conditioners and any electrical appliances should be turned off when not in use; Once the mobile phone is charged, unplug the charging plug immediately; Use energy-saving light bulbs, 1 1W energy-saving lamps, with a luminous efficiency of 60W, saving electricity by 80% per minute. If1200 million energy-saving lamps are used nationwide, the electricity saved is equivalent to the annual power generation of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station. Choose energy-saving air conditioner, don't turn it on too high or too low, which will not only consume energy, but also make people uncomfortable and weaken the body's ability to automatically regulate body temperature; Walk more, ride a bike, take the light rail or subway; Don't be too bright on the TV screen. Adjusting it to medium brightness can save energy and protect your eyesight. Just dimming the brightness of 300 million TV sets can save 5 billion kwh of electricity every year.
On this matter that concerns every country, every region and everyone on earth, we should raise our arms and shout: "Advocate a low-carbon life, start with me." Low-carbon life is not only related to environmental protection, resource conservation and other grand propositions. Even in personal life, there are many benefits-not only saving living expenses, but also beneficial to physical and mental health. But in fact, "low carbon" has always been around us.
When you leave the room or turn off the computer, turn off the light and unplug it. This is only the first step, and it is also the embodiment of personal cultivation. When we need to print documents or materials, each piece of paper is printed on both sides, which is equivalent to saving half of the forest that was originally to be cut down; If our family lives on a higher floor, climbing stairs instead of taking the elevator can not only save everyone's electricity bill, but also exercise; You don't need to turn on all the power lights when you enter the house. The electric light was invented only 130 years ago, and it had been well used hundreds of years before that. Daily rice washing water can be used for washing hands, cleaning furniture and watering flowers. Clean, hygienic and naturally moist; Not only mahogany and leather can reflect the taste of home, bamboo furniture is recommended because bamboo grows faster than trees; When we have a car at home, we can drive as few private cars as possible. When we want to go to a place not far away, we should consider whether to drive a private car, because once the car starts to consume oil, pollution is inevitable. At this time, we can switch to driving bicycles.
"Healthy and environmentally friendly walking and bicycle traffic" is what we often call "green travel", that is, adopting the travel mode with the least impact on the environment, which has the characteristics of saving energy, improving energy efficiency, reducing pollution, benefiting health and giving consideration to efficiency. Take buses, subways and other public transport, ride cooperatively, drive in an environmentally friendly and civilized way, or walk or ride a bike ... and minimize energy consumption and pollution during the journey. This is "green travel".
In a low-carbon life, we can also make use of waste and "turn waste into treasure", which is an indispensable element.
Not many people will notice the words "start with me" in the title, but some clever tricks of waste utilization can be used by some lazy people. In ordinary families, there will be some discarded boxes, such as soap boxes and toothpaste boxes. In fact, it can be easily used with a little tailoring, such as making a storage box and wrapping some cosmetics and tea. You can also make a decorative desk lamp with square boxes and cans; You can also spread waste newspapers on the bottom of the bookcase, which can not only absorb moisture, but also absorb the odor in the bookcase. Sun-drying tea dregs to make tea pillows is not only comfortable, but also can improve sleep. ...
At the same time, planting more flowers and plants is also a good choice. Because plants can purify harmful substances in the air and add a touch of green to the home. It is also a good pastime to put some potted flowers on the balcony, water them in your spare time and observe their growth.
After the re-creation of manual DIY, you will find that the original waste is also a treasure, so the home environment is healthy and full of creative little joy. "Low-carbon people" are using the changes of their own life details to prove that climate change is no longer just a concern of environmentalists, government officials and experts and scholars, but is closely related to each of us. Nowadays, advocating healthy living has become a trend. "Low-carbon life" is no longer just an ideal, but also a new lifestyle worth looking forward to.
On the issue of low carbon economy, people need to clarify some misunderstandings. First of all, low carbon does not mean poverty, poverty is not a low-carbon economy, and the goal of low-carbon economy is low-carbon and high-growth; Second, the development of low-carbon economy will not limit the introduction and development of high-energy industries, as long as the technical level of these industries is leading, it will meet the development needs of low-carbon economy; Third, low-carbon economy is not necessarily expensive, reducing greenhouse gas emissions will even help save costs, and it does not need high technology, but it needs to overcome some policy obstacles; Fourth, low-carbon economy is not something that needs to be done in the future, but should start from now; Fifth, the development of low-carbon economy is everyone's concern. Dealing with global warming concerns every country, region and everyone.
Greenhouse gases heat the earth. Over the past 200 years, with the deepening of industrialization, a large number of greenhouse gases, mainly carbon dioxide, have been emitted, leading to global temperature rise and climate change. This is an indisputable fact. On February 8, 65438, the World Meteorological Organization released the report "Global Climate 2009", which pointed out that 10 was the hottest year in the world on record.
In addition, a sign of global warming is the rapid melting of polar permanent ice and snow. Follow-up survey shows that during the period of 1978- 1996, the ice sheet area in the Arctic region has shrunk by about 6%, that is, it has actually decreased by about 30,000 square kilometers every year. The average thickness of the ice layer has also decreased from 365,438+00 cm to 65,438+080 cm. The living space of polar animals such as polar bears is becoming more and more crowded. Since the 1990s, the speed of Antarctic icebergs leaving the Antarctic continent has been increasing day by day, and the volume of Antarctic ice sheet has been shrinking rapidly, leading to the rise of sea level. The latest survey published by Finnish and German scholars shows that by the end of this century, the sea level may rise by 1.9 meters, far exceeding previous expectations. If this continues, Tuvalu, a South Pacific island country, will probably become the first island country to disappear into the Wang Yang.
Will climate warming really lead to disaster? People's doubts are not unreasonable. Carbon dioxide emissions? Does this have anything to do with us? Of course, humans will emit carbon dioxide as long as they breathe, but we can't help breathing, can we? This should be the responsibility of those fossil energy enterprises that spew clouds of black smoke into the sky, and the carbon dioxide produced by fossil energy consumption is the chief culprit of climate warming. But is the distance between us and those energy companies really irrelevant? Who would have thought that these enterprises, which consume and produce a lot of carbon dioxide, will eventually transport the energy they produce? Who are their consumers? In our daily life, which computers, mobile phones, water heaters, air conditioners, electric lights … do not need to consume energy? How much did you "contribute" when carbon dioxide rose to the sky?
A study published by American media on February 5, 2009, 65438+ pointed out that the earth heat has also caused a huge crisis to human health. First, allergies are getting worse. Studies show that with the gradual increase of carbon dioxide level and temperature, the flowering period is advanced, which increases the pollen yield and aggravates the spring allergy. Secondly, species are becoming more and more "pocket-sized". With the global temperature rising, the biological form is getting smaller and smaller, which has appeared in Scottish sheep. Third, kidney calculi has increased. Due to rising temperatures and dehydration, researchers predict that by 2050, there will be 2.2 million new patients with urinary calculi. Fourth, the outbreak of foreign infectious diseases, the increase of water environment temperature will make mosquitoes and plankton multiply, and dengue fever, malaria and encephalitis break out from time to time. Fifth, in summer, the lung infection is aggravated, the temperature rises and the cool wind decreases, which will aggravate ozone pollution and easily lead to lung infection. Sixth, algae flooding causes diseases, and the rising water temperature leads to the rapid reproduction of cyanobacteria, which will pollute natural lakes from municipal water supply system, thus causing diseases such as digestive system, nervous system, liver and skin. Low-carbon life has become a lifestyle that human beings urgently need to establish. Carbon dioxide will aggravate the greenhouse effect, so it is counted as one of the air pollutants. However, under normal circumstances, the concentration of carbon dioxide will not be reported in the air quality forecast. In addition, when the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air exceeds 50%, it will cause suffocation, so you should avoid going to places with high carbon dioxide concentration, such as the cellar where vegetables are stored, and ventilate before going to these places.
What we are facing is the deteriorating environment, exhausted fossil energy and high cost of living ... In fact, as long as we raise our hands, we can make the world a better place. Protecting the environment and saving energy are our basic national policies. To achieve sustainable development, we should not only promote the harmony between man and nature, but also coordinate economic development with population, resources and environment. We should also adhere to the civilized development path of production development, affluent life and good ecology to ensure sustainable development from generation to generation.
The quiet rise of low-carbon life is a brand-new civilized lifestyle, representing a healthier, more natural and safer lifestyle, and also a low-cost and low-cost way to surf the Internet. Our actions can affect the living conditions of thousands of creatures on earth, so why not? Until today, human beings have had enough of the punishment of nature. What we should do is to start from ourselves and start to protect our only home. Starting a low-carbon life, lazy people learn to unplug with electrical appliances, and people who love meat begin to get used to eating more fruits and vegetables. There is no need to go out to exercise or do some natural activities instead of surfing the internet all day …
It is the unshirkable responsibility of every citizen to care for the earth, maintain the ecology, protect the environment and realize a low-carbon life.
Someone once said, "We should protect our homeland, and only we can change our future life.". As we prepare for the world war, we must unite to prevent the temperature from rising. Climate change is happening and it threatens the rights and safety of everyone on the planet. " As long as everyone saves a drop of water, you can save hundreds of millions of drops of water. Although everyone has this meager strength, how powerful it is to unite!
Students, ordinary and extraordinary are only one step away. Let's start with me and save a drop of water and electricity. Let's join hands and start a low-carbon life together! Advocate low-carbon life! Maintain a low-carbon life
