The content of the low-carbon life handwritten newspaper should be suitable for the third grade of primary school.

Change the details of life in several aspects, including the following good low-carbon living habits: advocate low carbon and care for the earth.

1. Daily rice water can be used to wash hands and face, wash away greasy tableware, wipe furniture, water flowers, etc. Clean and hygienic, naturally moisturizing

2. Place waste newspapers on the bottom floor of the wardrobe, which can not only absorb moisture, but also absorb odors in the wardrobe; it can also scrub the glass to reduce the use of glass cleaners that pollute the environment.

3. Don’t throw away the used facial mask paper. Use it to wipe jewelry, the surface of furniture or belts. It will not only make it shiny but also leave the fragrance of the facial mask paper

4. Dry the drunk tea leaves and make a tea pillow, which is comfortable and can help improve sleep; it can also be used for dishwashing and handmade soap raw materials. After drying, it can absorb odors

5. When going shopping, try to bring your own reusable bags, and reduce the use of free or paid plastic bags

6. Bring your own drinking cup when going out, and reduce the use of disposable cups

7. Use permanent chopsticks and lunch boxes, and try to bring your own tableware and avoid using disposable tableware

8. Develop the habit of turning off the power of electrical appliances to avoid wasting electricity.

9. Try not to use refrigerators, air conditioners, and electric fans. When it is hot, you can use cattail fans or fans made of other materials.

10. Before turning on the air conditioner in summer, you should open the windows to let the indoor air flow naturally. To replace, turn on the electric fan to cool down the room first, turn on the air conditioner and then adjust the room temperature to between 25 and 26° (preferably above 26°), and use low wind, which saves energy and is low-carbon

11. Used plastic bottles can be used to hold various liquid substances (some beans can also be held) after cleaning them.

12. Food waste and residue can be used as fertilizer

After DIY re-creation, you will find that waste is also treasure. This kind of home environment is healthy and full of creative little joys. The "low-carbon people" are using the changes in the details of their lives to prove that climate change is no longer just a matter of concern to environmentalists, government officials, experts and scholars, but is closely related to each of us. Today, when promoting healthy living has become a trend, "low-carbon life" is no longer an ideal, but a lifestyle of "caring for the earth, starting with me".

There are also some points that are not easy to pay attention to:

1. Use a traditional wind-up alarm clock every day instead of an electronic alarm clock.

2. Replace 60-watt light bulbs with energy-saving lamps; turn off lights and air conditioners when they are not in use.

3. Turn off the computer power during lunch break and after get off work; once the mobile phone is charged, unplug the mobile phone charging plug immediately.

4. When using the computer, try to use low brightness and open as few programs as possible.

5. Try to watch less TV. It is recommended to read more books, which can not only save energy but also increase knowledge.

6. Choose to dry clothes instead of using a tumble dryer; replace a 45-minute workout on the treadmill with jogging in a park and other places with fresh air that are suitable for running.

7. The amount of food stored in the refrigerator should be 80% of the volume. Putting too much or too little will waste electricity. Leave a gap of more than 10 mm between foods.

8. Collect the remaining small pieces of soap and put them in small stockings that cannot be worn. They can be used again.

9. Try to walk or ride a bicycle when traveling, which is low-carbon and healthy. Instead of driving a car, ride a bike or walk.

10. Fly less. The carbon dioxide emitted by an airplane rising from the tarmac into the air is equal to the emissions of 3,600 cars.

11. Buy less unnecessary clothes. During the production, processing and transportation of clothing, a large amount of energy is consumed and pollutants such as waste gas and waste water are produced. On the premise of ensuring daily needs, each person buying one less piece of unnecessary clothing per year can save about 2.5 kilograms of standard coal and correspondingly reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 6.4 kilograms.

If 25 million people across the country do this every year, they can save about 62,500 tons of standard coal and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 160,000 tons.

12. Dr. Rajendra K. Pachauri, Chairman of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and 2007 Nobel Prize winner, said: “Don’t eat meat, ride a bicycle, and eat less. Consumption can help curb global warming." He said: "This is a concept that the IPCC did not dare to express earlier, but we must now make it public." He called on people around the world, "Please eat less meat! Meat is a product that emits a lot of carbon emissions."

13. Reduce the use of plastic items. When plastic waste goes to garbage treatment plants and dumping areas, it usually takes 20 to 30 years to be diluted and completely oxidized by the soil. Problems such as mudslides and land subsidence are not natural phenomena, but caused by humans. Please take care of our land and the earth.

14. When traveling, please bring your own cleaning supplies to reduce the need to change bedding, because every time the towels, sheets, and beds recycled by the hotel need to be cleaned with a large amount of water and detergent, resulting in poor water quality pollute. Disposable cleaning supplies have to go through the process of recycling and recycling, resulting in waste and waste that the earth will take decades to oxidize.

15. Avoid contact with marine life in tourist areas, which will destroy the balance of marine ecology.

Create a low-carbon home decoration

"Low carbon" is a concept that covers a very wide range of contents. All methods that can reduce carbon dioxide emissions can be collectively referred to as low carbon, including industrial production. energy saving and emission reduction, green design of buildings, and energy saving of automobiles. For homes, low-carbon life can also save energy and reduce the emission of harmful substances.

Simplicity and elegance are the most conducive to energy saving

In recent years, simple design style has gradually become the dominant style in home decoration. The simple style is precisely the most reasonable key factor in home decoration and energy saving. Of course, simplicity does not mean simplicity. As long as the design is thoughtful, the simple style is very suitable for modern decoration, especially for young people. Moreover, this design style can minimize the problem of material waste in home decoration. Transparent designs are now slowly being accepted by more and more homeowners, and while such designs maintain ventilation and air circulation, they also reduce energy waste to a great extent.

Color returns to environmental protection and nature

In the past, homes were always the same white. With the development of the chemical industry, there are more and more colors in the home. In fact, the use of color is also related to energy conservation. Excessive use of dark colors such as red, green, and purple will actually waste energy.

Especially in high-temperature seasons, because dark paint is more heat-absorbing and is designed to be used on large-area home decoration walls, it absorbs a large amount of heat energy during the day. Using air conditioning at night will increase the energy consumption of the room.

Green building materials enable low-carbon life

During the decoration process, you can actually use light steel keels, gypsum boards and other lightweight materials in some "zones" where fastness is not important. Quality partition wall materials, try to use less clay solid bricks, spotlights, aluminum alloy doors and windows, etc. You can also consider giving up on some designs. For example, spotlights and light strips that most families only use occasionally are actually expensive designs and may become a big waste. Spotlights and light strips can be replaced by various means such as material contrast and color matching.

In addition, when moving to a new home, try not to replace the furniture that can continue to be used. Use more furniture made of bamboo and rattan. These materials are highly renewable and can also reduce the consumption of forest resources.

In low-carbon life, the home furnishing industry seems to be one step ahead. From environmentally friendly materials to environmentally friendly decoration, from felling trees to building fast-growing forests, from luminous dome design to solar lamps...

Low-carbon life is not profound. Designers believe that the most primitive expression of "low carbon" is how to do the most things with the least money. In the early stages of renovation, both owners and designers tried their best to use the lowest cost, the most common materials and the simplest design to create a comfortable, safe and healthy home.

However, with the development of society, everyone begins to work on individual styles, special materials and high-tech smart products, which undoubtedly consumes a lot of unnecessary energy. Nowadays, factors such as serious environmental pollution, energy shortage and economic crisis have prompted the original simple decoration concept to be upgraded to low-carbon life.

The trend of simple design is back

“In recent years, although the concept of home decoration style has been constantly changing, modern and simple design style has always been the mainstream.” Ruijia decoration designer said, Many mid-to-high-end customers have taken the initiative to reject the past luxury home decoration design concepts and instead adopt a simple route, based on the principles of natural ventilation and natural lighting, reducing the use of air conditioners and electric lights, saving decoration materials, electricity, and Save construction costs.

“If unnecessary modifications to the internal structure of the house can be minimized, it will be more ‘low-carbon’.” Decoration designers believe that from a design perspective, the low-carbon concept is actually somewhat different from that of the past two years. It is consistent with the concept of "light decoration, emphasis on decoration" emphasized by home decoration companies. When decorating and designing, some more fashionable families no longer simply fill the space with suspended ceilings, wall cabinets, and decorative shapes made of some expensive decorative materials. They pay more attention to space layout, functional settings, etc. Pay attention to the distinction between decoration and decoration, and use practical furniture and appropriate decorations to express strong personal style and taste.

Designers suggest that simple decoration should follow the principle of "less changes and less modifications". Even if there are many problems with the structure of the room, do not make large-scale changes. Consumers can communicate more with designers and use other methods to solve or make up for it. Use less decorative techniques such as partitions in the room, and try to use changes in space to achieve the effect. If you must use partitions, try to combine them with furniture such as lockers and bookcases to reduce the chance of them existing independently and increase indoor space. In addition, reducing the number of partitions can also speed up indoor air flow and reduce energy consumption of household appliances such as air conditioners and fans.

Make full use of recyclable materials

Raw materials in the home furnishing industry require a large amount of energy during collection, production, manufacturing and transportation, so they can achieve "low carbon" and "sustainable development" "Not much." "'Natural style' is becoming popular in home decoration design, and it is not just to cater to pastoral and rural styles." Huatai Classic Decoration Designer believes that the significance of the popular "natural style" in home decoration lies in its protection of the natural environment. It is recommended that owners choose When using wood, cotton, metal, plastic, glass, and rattan, recyclable materials should be used as much as possible.

When it comes to the choice of decorative materials, many people do not pay attention to environmental protection, but they are prone to fall into some misunderstandings. During the decoration process, you can actually choose more lightweight partition materials such as light steel keels, gypsum boards, etc., and use less materials that waste more resources such as clay solid bricks, spotlights, aluminum alloy doors and windows, and you can also use them from the side. Reduce the carbon footprint of home improvement projects.

Some home accessories designers also believe that the rational use of waste items in home life is also of great significance to creating a "low-carbon" living environment. For example, drying drunk tea leaves to make pillow cores is not only comfortable, but also helps improve sleep; using waste paper shells as ashtrays can be thrown away after use, which is trouble-free and convenient. Through careful DIY, these inconspicuous wastes can be turned into treasures, making your home more environmentally friendly, warmer, and full of the joy of realizing your creativity.

Energy Saving

The core of low-carbon home is energy saving, but energy saving does not mean sacrificing the comfort of living, nor does it mean turning off the air conditioning or heating system. In fact, low-carbon life is an attitude, which is to keep people's body and mind in a comfortable state while having the least impact on the human living environment, and even helping to improve the human living environment. For example, renewable energy sources such as solar energy are used for lighting and heating; many zero-emission buildings are now built in Europe, and the insulation effect is very good. Under natural ventilation conditions, the insulation layer can control the indoor temperature to an appropriate level. .

Human life activities consume energy and release large amounts of carbon dioxide.

Scientists have found that the carbon dioxide content in the air has increased by 30% in the past 200 years, and it is generally believed that various extreme climates are related to this. People began to call for "low-carbon economy, low-carbon life". This is a lifestyle that uses high technology and clean energy to reduce energy consumption and pollution without reducing the quality of life.

Edit this paragraph's low-carbon guidelines

The core content of low-carbon life is low pollution, low consumption and low emissions, as well as more savings.

If each person saves one kilowatt hour of electricity and one liter of water, then 100 million people will have 100 million kilowatt hours of electricity and 100 million liters of water.

Clothes

"A piece of 400 After the 100-gram weight polyester pants are collected, produced, and sold in various countries until they are washed, dried, and ironed many times in the hands of consumers, they consume about 200 kilowatt hours of electricity. Burning coal for power supply will emit about 47 kilograms of carbon dioxide is equivalent to 117 times the weight of the pants themselves.

A study by the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom concluded that a 250-gram pure cotton T-shirt can be recycled or incinerated from raw materials to final recycling. , the energy consumption in a lifetime is about 30 kilowatt-hours of electricity, and the carbon dioxide emissions are 7 kilograms."

It can be seen that the production process of chemical synthetic fiber clothes consumes more energy. Artificial synthesis uses raw materials such as petroleum, which consumes a lot of energy and water. In addition, the materials are not easily degraded, requiring more energy to dispose of this type of clothing, which increases carbon emissions. On the contrary, choosing clothing made of natural fibers such as cotton and linen can reduce most of the steps of raw material processing during the production process, and can achieve the purpose of low carbon.

- But it doesn’t matter. In addition to wearing clothing made of natural fibers, there are also other suggestions below to help everyone wear environmentally friendly clothes~

1. Summer Wearing cool, lightweight, light-colored clothing when going out, such as non-ironing clothing, is estimated to reduce carbon emissions by more than 3,000 metric tons per year.

2. You can wear a shirt without a tie.

3. Reduce discarded clothes, refurbish old clothes in a DIY manner or donate clothes to others.

4. Reduce the frequency of washing, drying and ironing, change from machine washing to hand washing, and change drying to natural drying to reduce energy consumption.

5. Only turn on the washing machine when it is fully loaded to reduce power consumption.

6. Choose an energy-saving washing machine, which saves 50% of electricity and 60% of water than ordinary washing machines. Each energy-saving washing machine can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 9.4 kilograms per year.

Food

1. It is estimated that 50 species of animals and plants become extinct every day because they provide food, medicine or clothing to humans. Therefore, do not buy endangered or protected animals, plants and their products, such as wild ginseng, tiger medicines, furs and sea turtle specimens.

2. According to surveys, each of us swallows 5-7 kilograms of food additives every year. Therefore, you can choose to buy unprocessed and locally produced fresh food to reduce the poisoning of chemical pesticides and fertilizers to the body, and also reduce the energy consumed and pollution generated by long-distance transportation.

3. Meat emits particularly high levels of greenhouse gases during production, processing and handling. About 50% of the world's greenhouse gases originate from meat production. A report published by the United Nations in 2006 pointed out [2] that the greenhouse gas emissions from animal husbandry are greater than the total emissions from all means of transportation in the world, including airplanes, trains, cars, and motorcycles. Therefore, we encourage everyone to eat more vegetables and less meat, eat one vegetarian meal without meat, and reduce carbon dioxide by 1,100 grams.

4. Disposable chopsticks: China produces 80 billion pairs of disposable chopsticks every year. They are connected end to end and can travel from the earth to the moon 21 times. They can cover 363 Tiananmen Square in Beijing. Every year, China produces 80 billion pairs of disposable chopsticks. Reduce forest stocking by 2 million cubic meters. Carry eco-friendly chopsticks with you. For every 10,000 pairs of disposable chopsticks eliminated, 0.32 trees will be cut down and 3.7 kilograms of carbon will be reduced.

5. Prepare food portions according to the amount of food to avoid waste caused by excessive portions. Develop good habits, eat as much as you like, order as much as you like, and reduce the amount of food waste.

6. Simple low-carbon tips

Cooking one meal over an open fire will save 920 grams of carbon. Bring your own water bottle and reuse it 20 times, reducing carbon dioxide by 500 grams. Reduce smoking and smoke one less cigarette a day. Each person will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 0.37 kilograms per year. If China's 350 million smokers do this, it will save about 50,000 tons of standard coal and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 130,000 tons per year. When cooking in the kitchen, you should try to avoid idling the range hood for a long time. If each range hood reduces idling for 10 minutes a day, 11.7 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced in one year.

Choose an energy-saving rice cooker to heat food of the same weight. An energy-saving rice cooker saves about 20% of electricity than an ordinary rice cooker, and each unit reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 8.65 kilograms per year.

1. Electric Lights

l Households use compact fluorescent lamps, LED lights or fluorescent tubes for lighting. Replacing incandescent bulbs with high-quality energy-saving lamps can reduce power consumption and improve lighting effects. Energy-saving lamps with the same brightness consume 1/4 of the power of incandescent bulbs. If an 11-watt energy-saving lamp replaces a 60-watt incandescent bulb and the lighting is 4 hours a day, one energy-saving lamp can reduce 68.6 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions in one year.

Turn off the lights at home

1 Develop a good habit of turning off the lights at home. Each household can save about 4.9 kilowatt hours of electricity per year and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 4.7 kilograms.

2 Open the curtains to make more use of daylight and turn on fewer lights

2. Electrical appliances

Purchase electrical appliances with "Level 1" energy efficiency levels. These Appliances are the most energy efficient and the most energy efficient.

Using an air conditioner

Air conditioners are electrical appliances that consume a lot of power. The lower the temperature you set, the more energy you consume.

1: Only use air conditioners and turn up the air conditioner temperature by 1 degree on days when the temperature is higher than 26 degrees Celsius. If each air conditioner is adjusted 1 degree higher than 26 degrees, 21 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced every year. Choose energy-saving air conditioners.

2 Before going to bed, set the off time of the air conditioner to 1 hour before getting up to reduce the use of the air conditioner.

3 Turn off the air conditioner a few minutes before going out. The temperature of the air-conditioned room will not rise immediately because the air conditioner is turned off. Turning off the air conditioner 3 minutes before going out will save 5 degrees of electricity per unit per year, correspondingly reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 4.8 kilograms. If this measure is adopted for all 150 million air conditioners across the country, approximately 750 million kilowatt hours of electricity can be saved and 720,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced each year.

4 Choose energy-saving air conditioners. An energy-saving air conditioner consumes 0.24 degrees less electricity per hour than an ordinary air conditioner. Based on a conservative estimate of 100 hours of use throughout the year, it can save 24 degrees of electricity and correspondingly reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 23 kilograms. If 10 air conditioners nationwide are replaced with energy-saving air conditioners every year, in During this period, 360 million kilowatt hours of electricity can be saved and 350,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced every year.

Use a refrigerator

5 Choose an energy-saving refrigerator. One energy-saving refrigerator can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 100 kilograms per year than an ordinary refrigerator. Use the refrigerator sparingly and reduce the opening time of the refrigerator by 3 minutes every day, which can save 30 kilowatt hours of electricity in a year.

Use computers, printers, and TVs

6 Use standby instead of screen saver when not using the computer. Each desktop computer can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 6 kilograms per year. Use LCD computer screens instead of CRT screens. Compared with traditional CRT screens, LCD screens save about 50% of energy.

7 By lowering the brightness of the computer screen, each desktop computer can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 29 kilograms per year; each laptop computer can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 14.6 kilograms per year.

8 If this measure is taken for all the approximately 77 million computer screens in the country, 2.2 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced every year.

9 Completely turn off electrical appliances, such as computer monitors, laptops and televisions, without using standby mode. All electrical appliances need to be cut off when not in use. If not cut off, just turning them off will consume the same amount of electricity.

10 Turn off the power of the printer when not in use, thus each printer can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 9.6 kilograms per year.

11 By turning on the TV for half an hour less every day, each TV can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 19.2 kilograms per year. Lowering the TV screen brightness and setting the TV screen to medium brightness can not only achieve the most comfortable visual effect, but also save energy. Each TV can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 5.3 kilograms per year.

12 Reduce the use of video game consoles, computers or TVs every day.

Use an electric fan.

13 The power consumption of an electric fan is proportional to the speed of the fan blades. The power consumption of the same electric fan at the fastest speed and the slowest speed differs by about 40%.

Most of the time, medium and low wind speeds are sufficient.

3. Water use

The processes of supplying drinking water and treating sewage will produce carbon emissions. Therefore, reducing waste of drinking water can help reduce carbon emissions.

1 Replace the bathtub and control the bathing time

Do not use the bathtub for bathing, and the shower time should not exceed 8 minutes. Because the bathtub is an extremely water-intensive bathing method, if you use a shower instead, each person can save 170 liters of water each time, while reducing the same amount of sewage discharge and 8.1 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions.

2 Lower the shower temperature appropriately

If you lower the shower temperature by 1 degree, each person can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 35 grams per shower.

3 Turn off the water for bathing in time

When taking a bath, you should turn off the water switch in time to reduce unnecessary waste. In this way, each person can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 98 grams each time.

4 Use water-saving faucets

Using sensor-saving faucets can save about 30% of water than manual faucets, and each household can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 24.8 kilograms per year.

5 Switching to water-saving shower heads can reduce CO2 production by 340 kilograms per year.

6 Use a shower head registered with the "Water Efficiency Labeling Scheme". The first level shower can save 5 liters of water per minute compared to the third level shower.
