以低碳生活為話題的高考英語作文
Low-carbon Living
Each and every one of us is responsible for the greenhouse gases we emit in our daily actions and choices. Therefore, combating climate change is going to take the combined efforts of everyone on the planet.
The average household carbon footprint in China is 2.41 tons of carbon dioxide annually. That‘s enough to fill half an Olympic swimming pool.
Surprised? Well, here‘s how you can work to reduce it:
1.Get started by calculating your own carbon footprint. This will give you a starting point from which to begin monitoring your progress. You enter details such as what sort of apartment you live in, your personal energy use and travel habits.
2. Each week, choose one day when you don‘t eat meat. Meat uses up lots of energy because it takes a long time to produce. Animals produce methane, which is another dangerous greenhouse gas, when they burp and fart.
3. Only buy the amount of food you need and if there are leftovers, get creative. For instance, make them into a soup. Ask to take food home from restaurants if there‘s some left, but remember to take your own container to avoid using a disposable carton.

低碳生活
我們每一個人都對我們每天的行動和選擇所排放的溫室氣體負責。因此，應對氣候變化將需要地球上每個人的共同努力。
在中國平均每戶每年的碳排放量是2.41噸二氧化碳。這足以填滿半個奧運游泳池。
驚訝嗎?好了，這就是你如何減少它的方法：
1、開始計算你自己的碳足跡。這將給你一個起點，開始監(jiān)測你的進步。你輸入的細節(jié)，如什么樣的公寓你住，你的個人能源使用和旅行習慣。
2。每個星期，選擇一天，當你不吃肉。肉消耗大量的能量，因為它需要很長時間才能產生。動物產生甲烷，這是一個危險的溫室氣體，當它們打嗝和放屁。
三.只買你需要的食物的數(shù)量，如果有剩菜，得到創(chuàng)意。例如，使他們成為湯。如果有一些食物，請從餐廳帶回家，但記得帶上自己的容器，避免使用一次性紙箱。
