Theme: China declares war on pollution

Greenhouse gases make the earth a high fever. More than 200 years, with the deepening of the process of industrialization and development of a large number of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide discharge, lead to changes in global temperatures and climate, it is indisputable fact. 12 years 8, 2011, the world meteorological organization released ahead of "global climate in 2011" report points out that in recent 10 years is a global 10 hottest years on record. In addition, global warming also makes the Antarctic ice began to melt, causing sea levels to rise. Finland and the latest German scholars, according to a prepared by the end of the century the sea level could rise by 1.9 meters, direct threat from Tokyo to Shanghai to millions of urban residents of New Orleans.

Us media on December 5, 2011, according to a study published in the earth has a fever also to human health has caused enormous crisis.

First, in the study, the increase in the number of the number of allergic with increased carbon dioxide levels and temperatures, flowering, pollen production increase, increases the spring allergies and repeat.

Second, the species is becoming more and more "pocket", as the global temperature rise, biological form shrinking, it has emerged from a Scottish sheep.

Third, kidney stones, due to rising temperatures, dehydration increase, the researchers predict that by 2050, 2.2 million patients with urinary calculi were created.

Fourth, the foreign infectious disease outbreaks, water environment temperature can make the mosquitoes and plankton blooms, dengue fever, malaria and encephalitis outbreak.

Fifth, pulmonary infection, summer temperature, cool to reduce exacerbate ozone pollution, easy to cause lung infection. Sixth, algae-covered disease, higher temperature lead to algae reproduce rapidly, from the municipal water supply system to the pollution of natural lakes, thus cause the digestive system, nervous system, liver, and skin diseases. Low carbon life, has become a human need establish a way of life. Correspondingly, in the life level, advocate and practice low-carbon life, every citizen has become the bounden environmental responsibility in the construction of ecological civilization era. That what is low-carbon life, is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, low energy, low consumption, low spending way of life.

What kind of people is a low carbon, low carbon and on behalf of what? Simply said, "low carbon" is a kind of life habit, is a natural to save side the habit of all kinds of resources, as long as you are willing to initiative to discipline yourself, improve your life habit, you can join in. Low carbon does not mean, of course, will deliberately go to thrift, deliberately to give up some to enjoy life, as long as you can from dribs and drabs of life to save more, do not waste, the same can live comfortable "low-carbon life".

Below to introduce several kinds of low carbon environmental protection small common sense, everyone is very easy to think of is also very easy to do, the key is to implement it.

1, the refrigerator: food storage amount to 80% of the volume of advisable, put too much or too little, is inefficient. Food and freezer to leave about 1 cm above the space between. Water use environmental plastic box, icebox after made of ice in the freezer, it can prolong downtime and reduce boot time.

2, air conditioner, fan is placed within the air conditioning machine below, using wind can improve the effect of cooling fan. Air conditioning open a few hours after the close, fan immediately. Night with this method, you can not open air conditioning all night, save electricity by almost 50%. Regular cleaning air conditioning, not only for health, but also can save a lot of electricity;

3, washing machine, in the same long washing time, weak archives work, the motor start times more, that is to say, use strong file is smaller than the weak file save electricity, and can prolong the life of the washing machine.

4, television: the television to watch should pull the plug. Some of the TV is turned off, the tube will still be the filament preheating, the machine in the inactive state is still in power. Electric rice cooker: soak 30 minutes before cooking boiled in hot water again, it is not easy to damage the nutritional value but also save electricity by 30%.

5, computer: a short period of time without computer, enabling computer "sleep" mode, the energy consumption can be decreased to 50%.

6, gas: high summer temperatures, not sealed before the boiling water, let is lower than the air temperature of air and water to heat exchange, and other natural heat sealed by boiling water again when the air temperature, gas can be saved. Experiments show that gas fire water in the province;

7, all in the home appliances and office appliances with finish to conveniently turn off the power supply, not on the electrical appliances in standby state for a long time, reduce the waste of electricity.

8, use energy-saving lamps, air conditioning will be dispatched to 26 to 28 degrees Celsius in summer, it can greatly save energy. Actually use the sun to the environmental protection energy the simplest way to do is to repeat the work in the daytime; Don't take the elevator climb stairs, save everyone's electricity in their health,

9, using portable environmental protection tableware, as far as possible need not disposable lunch boxes, plastic bags, chopsticks. A disposable plastic bags need 600 years to decay.

14, the use of biodegradable, less dosage of catharsis things without phosphorus, reduce the pollution of rivers and oceans. If time permits, physical condition permits, hand washing clothes, as far as possible is power saving and water saving. At the same time, the water that clean out rice don't pour out at random, can be used to water the flowers, wash your face, or washing the dishes, fertility, detergency, mild, and do not pollute the water quality.

16, and will not run out of paper bound in old exercise books, do the draft this, beside the printer for a storage tank of waste paper, can be repeated use of printing paper must repeat use, can't reuse of waste paper must be handed over to recyclers, no matter how much money to save is the most important.

17, buy small-engine cars, environmentally friendly cars, go out unless luggage is too heavy, in a stretch as far as possible not to drive with bus can take, if the journey is too far should advocate to ride a bicycle or on foot. Compared to motorists, ride a bike to work people don't have to worry about oil prices rose, the two don't have to worry about weight up;

19, nothing more than go out for a walk, "house" is a very inefficient;

20, the wedding ceremony is not you spoiling 28 years strength out of face, more than money accumulated PK. Now only contracted, low carbon is sweet civilized attachment value;

21, throw the battery can also be seen as ignorance, 20 years ago would be completely irresponsible now: because of China's basic production of dry cells has reached the low mercury standard, but there are still many battery life is must be handled carefully, including waste rechargeable batteries, button batteries, mobile phone, digital camera batteries, and car battery, contains a lot of heavy metals, mercury, heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, nickel, zinc content is higher, if leakage occurs, will not only pollute the environment, will be harmful to human body production, the battery must be by the manufacturer or JingXiaoZhe centralized recycling, users do not carelessly throw away. A button batteries can be 600 cubic meters of water pollution, section 5, the battery can be one square metre of land pollution. Is a time bomb!

22, as little as possible to buy clothes, buy clothes much choose cotton, linen, silk and bamboo fiber products, not only environmental protection, fashion, and elegant, durable;

23, the United States there are statistics show that divorce after per capita resource consumption is higher than before the divorce between 42% and 61%, let us use marriage protect the ball;

If everybody once electricity saving, saves a litre, then 100 million people is 100 million KWH, one hundred million litres of water!

Our country's water resources and energy such as oil, coal is relatively scarce, and the environmental pollution is quite serious, let us act, advocating simple life, avoid extravagance and waste, protect the environment and benefit of future generations.
