Significance of Advocating Low-carbon Life

Question 1: What is the significance of advocating low-carbon life to our real life? Combined with the impact of climate change on human beings, talk about our responsibility and mission in the era of low-carbon economy.

As an important part of the natural environment for human survival, any change in climate will have an impact on the natural ecosystem and socio-economic system. At present, in the face of the worsening climate phenomenon, its negative effects are more concerned, because the adverse effects may endanger the future survival and development of human society. Nowadays, low-carbon economy has become a hot issue, which should be expected. The combined forces of internal and external factors are pushing China towards the era of low-carbon economy. On June 5th, this year in World Environment Day, the theme of China was "Low Carbon Emission Reduction, Green Life". As a citizen of China and a member of the global village, each of us must shoulder our due responsibility and mission to build our green home!

Perhaps many people still don't understand the difference between Copenhagen and Haagen-Dazs. Perhaps there are still many people who think that The Day After Tomorrow and 20 12 are purely fictional American blockbusters, and that the global warming conference is only international news that has little to do with themselves ... In fact, when the global political elite is fighting for the last chance for mankind in Copenhagen, Denmark, the devil derived from global warming has already.

"Now the weather forecast is becoming more and more difficult to do. Weird weather is always against the law and unpredictable. The so-called law in the past was always changed by reality! " Dr. Wang Jijun, deputy director of Henan Climate Center, lamented, "Every accurate forecast condenses the wisdom and sweat of meteorologists!"

Dr. Wang Jijun can easily find evidence for his exclamation-

At the beginning of June, 2009, it was 5438+065438+ 10, and autumn in Zhengzhou seemed unwilling to leave at all. The sunshine is warm, the trees are lush, and people wearing short sleeves can be seen on the street. However, on June165438+1October 10, the temperature plummeted and a snowstorm broke out that night. 1 1 At about 9 o'clock in the evening, there was heavy snow all over the sky, and suddenly there was lightning and thunder! On June 5th, at 438+02, the snowfall and the depth of snow in Zhengzhou reached a "record high" ―― exceeding the daily record since meteorological records began.

On April, 2065438 10, visitors to Luoyang will marvel at the "wonders" of peony in the snow. In the days around this day, Luoyang was sunny and full of spring.

Global warming brings not only dust, but also extreme weather such as snowstorm, cold current, rainstorm and heat wave. Experts predict that the global climate will be further warmed, and the degree of warming is likely to increase. The American magazine Science published a new research result, saying that after 2009, the global average temperature will exceed the historical maximum of 1998 in at least half of the years, and more extreme weather will occur frequently, so human beings have to face the test of ice and fire in the northern and southern hemispheres. At the same time, the United Nations assessment report reminds us that if human beings do not pay attention to environmental protection, the average temperature will rise by 6.3 degrees Celsius at most by the end of this century. What a terrible number is this? Simply put, if the average temperature rises by 3 degrees Celsius, in Asia alone, more than 7 million people will face floods every year. If the temperature rises by 4 degrees Celsius, there will be more than 3 billion people in the world, facing the problem of water shortage.

Since last autumn, severe drought has occurred in southwest, south China and parts of south China. In the southwest of China, where the rainfall is the most abundant, most areas are dry and lack of rain, and Hiderigami is rampant. Farmland cracked, ponds and dams dried up, and rivers and streams were cut off ... On March 23, the statistics of the National Defense General showed that the population with difficulty in drinking water due to drought had reached 227 10000, of which Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangxi and Chongqing had the worst drought 18005. The drought-affected area of cultivated land in China is 1 654,380+0.4 million mu, of which the drought-affected area of crops is 87.96 million mu (with severe drought of 27.98 million mu, 1 386,5438+0.000 mu); The water-deficient soil moisture of the cultivated land to be sown is 2610.2 million mu. Among them, the drought-affected area of cultivated land in the five southwestern provinces reached 96.54 million mu, accounting for 85%.

In addition to drought, abnormal climate and global warming, many problems need to be solved urgently, such as water shortage, deterioration of living environment, increased economic losses, rising sea level, threats to human health and intensified species changes.

Facing the global warming crisis, as college students, we should also do our part for the motherland and the world. We can't stop the temperature from rising, we can't control the melting of polar glaciers, and we can't avoid the drought in Yunnan. Because they have already happened, we can only minimize the impact of disasters on us. And my brother who is known as "changing the fate of the earth" >>

Question 2: What is the practical significance of advocating a low-carbon lifestyle? The so-called low-carbon economy refers to a form of economic development under the guidance of the concept of sustainable development, through technological innovation, institutional innovation, industrial transformation, new energy development and other means, as far as possible to reduce the consumption of high-carbon energy such as coal and oil, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and achieve a win-win situation for economic and social development and ecological environment protection. To develop a low-carbon economy, on the one hand, we should actively undertake environmental protection responsibilities and meet the requirements of national energy conservation and consumption reduction indicators; On the other hand, it is to adjust the economic structure, improve the efficiency of energy utilization, develop emerging industries and build ecological civilization. This is a realistic way to abandon the previous development model of pollution first and then treatment, low-end first and high-end, extensive first and intensive first, and an inevitable choice to achieve a win-win situation for economic development and resource and environmental protection. Significance: ① The development of low-carbon economy embodies the requirements of people-oriented, comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable Scientific Outlook on Development and the consumption concept of "environmental protection and green consumption", which is conducive to changing people's consumption concept; (2) It is conducive to enhancing China's independent innovation capability and accelerating the transformation of economic development mode, and promoting the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure; (3) Conducive to energy conservation and environmental protection; (4) It is conducive to coordinating urban and rural development, narrowing the regional development gap, and (6) it is conducive to the country to better perform its macro-control functions and improve the market economic system.

Question 3: The significance of advocating green life. Do you know the meaning of the word "low-carbon life"? I took it for granted that I knew. Isn't "low-carbon life" to reduce carbon emissions in our daily life? Yes, it's really simple. We often talk about them. But do you really know them? Are they really ingrained in your heart?

Once upon a time, the abundant energy left by Mother Earth delighted us and lamented that the energy on the earth was inexhaustible. Now, the latest statistics show that oil will be exhausted within 60 years and coal can be used by human beings for 250 years. At one time, the waste of materials and energy was rampant. Now, "preserving honor and abolishing shame" has become the mantra of a new generation; At one time, "development first" and environmental problems were often ignored. Now, sustainable development and harmonious coexistence with nature have become the biggest topics. It is not difficult to see that environmental problems are constantly being concerned.

Nevertheless, environmental problems are still serious, and it is urgent to save energy and reduce emissions and live a low-carbon life. However, at the Copenhagen Climate Conference, it was too late to reach an agreement on this issue that affected human destiny. In life, driving a large-displacement car, buying fluorine-containing air conditioners, refrigerators, and phosphorus-containing washing powder, wrapping a quilt in summer and turning on low-temperature air conditioners, keeping fluorescent lamps on all night, and dripping water from faucets day and night are all common phenomena that affect the environment. This is contrary to our claim.

In a few days, the China 20 10 Shanghai World Expo with the theme of "Better City, Better Life" will open. "Low-carbon Expo" is one of the important concepts of this World Expo. Shanghai will take the World Expo as an opportunity to vigorously develop a low-carbon economy and strive to achieve comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development in Shanghai. By the end of June, 20 10,10, the milk and beverage paper packaging recycling activities sponsored by Shanghai World Expo Bureau, Xinmin Evening News and Tetra Pak Company * * * had covered two urban districts in Shanghai 12, attracting about 728,400 people to participate. The total recovery amount is 1 13 tons, which is equivalent to 10. More than ten thousand milk beverage paper packages with 250 ml capacity were recovered. 65,438+0,000 seats made of recycled milk and beverage paper have officially settled in the Expo site, ready to welcome Chinese and foreign guests. This activity closely follows the theme of "Low-carbon Expo", which not only builds a platform for people to participate in the Expo with environmental protection, but more importantly, it hopes to subtly enhance citizens' awareness of environmental protection and enhance their enthusiasm for participating in environmental protection actions through the small gesture of recycling milk and beverage paper packaging, so as to enhance the overall quality of citizens, enhance the image of Shanghai and better interpret the Expo theme of "Better City, Better Life". The pollution of the ocean affects every drop of water, and every drop of water is needed to help purify the pollution. Low-carbon life needs everyone's participation, including you and me!

Students, let's take action and actively create a low-carbon life! In fact, saving energy and creating a low-carbon life is very simple. For example, printing double-sided paper, washing rice and watering flowers, turning off the lights conveniently, raising the air conditioning temperature by one degree in summer and lowering it by one degree in winter, riding more bicycles, driving less for one day like car-free days in cities, and so on. These behaviors are aimed at cultivating a habit and an idea. Thought is the forerunner of action. Only by establishing the consciousness of saving in thought can energy-saving and low-carbon become a positive and conscious behavior in our daily life.

As a student, we should actively join the ranks of environmental protection and call on more people to take action. A small step for everyone will be a big step for society. In order to keep the blue sky blue forever, to keep the forests of nature lush forever, to keep the rivers clear forever, to make the earth beautiful forever, and to the next generation, let's act together!

Low-carbon life, you have me! For our earth and our home!
