1、Low Carbon Why do we advocate low-carbon? What can we do? What is low-carbon and low carbon life? What is low-carbon and low carbon life? Low-carbon ： means a lower of greenhouse gases emissions, specially refers to the carbon dioxide. “Low carbon life“ is refers to life that reduce carbon dioxide,
2、reduce the pollution of the atmosphere, slow ecological deterioration. Why do we advocate low-carbon? After the Copenhagen meeting, low-carbon has become a catch word in the Chinese popular media and daily conversation of Chinese people. The development of the industrial economy The rapid increase i
3、n population The unlimited human desire The unrestrained production and life style global environmental crisis has related to our daily life. The disastrous flood in 1998 in China left a lasting image among Chinese people. our environment is becoming more and more worse. Sandstorm Deserts Air pollut
4、ion Water shortages Global warming The extinction of species Two levels of glaciers melt, polar animals lose their chance of survival at the same time, this will lead to rising sea levels, many coastal cities into the water did not exist in a few years later. What can we do for Low carbon ? we shoul
5、d realize that low carbon life is not only a kind of life attitude but aslo a way of life. If one want to do this, everyone can do it! everyone of us have an obligation to protect the environment, therefore we need to try our best to construct a better and harmonious conditions between human beings
6、and nature. Firstly ,we should develop Low carbon technologies Wind power Wind power supplies roughly the same amount of electricity, and new wind facilities are being built at a rapid pace. Additional, the fuel cost for wind is zero. Solar power Solar street light solar wind complementary street la
7、mp Costs for solar photovoltaic cells are 5 to 10 times higher than those of other low-carbon technologies. Nuclear power Nuclear powers capability is to add significantly to future low carbon power. it depends strongly on several factors, including new plant designs , national and regional politics
8、, fuel availability, safety and so on. Harnessing the tides in a bay or estuary has been achieved in France (since 1966), Canada and Russia, and could be achieved in other areas with a large tidal range. The trapped water turns turbines as it is released through the tidal barrage in either direction
9、. Tidal power Secondly,we should develop a good habit of low-carbon life in our daily lives. Recycling the old battery Turning off the power socket Timely Choosing the bicycles ， bus, and subway instead of motorcar taking a bag with us instead of using the plastic taking a bag with us instead of using the plastic In addition, we should try to call for the people around us to attend low carbon way of life. low carbon life can not only reduce emissions, change our living environment, but also beautify our city, protect our healthy.
