第一篇：低碳生活英語(yǔ)材料

Low Carbon lifestyle--Take the chance today!Since the Industry Revolution took place centuries’ ago.Human civilization has been developed rapidly, we dug up the ground in order to find oil and coal;we launch the rockets and spaceships in order to conquer the universe and do scientific research;we invent cars ,planes in order to shorten the distance between you and me…We fight with the nature to rob the resource we need;we kill the wild animals for their fur and meat , even sometimes just for entertainment…In this battle , however ,our nature seems to be a loser.She uses hard and solid rocks to protect her jewelry but it is still stolen by “clever” human at last.She spent centuries creating many fantastic creatures.But human seems to only need a little time to destroy all of them.The nature seems to be defeated by us.And us, human beings, the cleverest creature on the Earth.Seems to be a conqueror.Do we conquest the nature? Of course not.The serious environmental problem generates amounts of destructive effects to the entire planet: ice melting, climate change, animals and plants’ extinction, and threat of human society.Primarily, as the temperature increases, ice melting is regard as the most intractable issue.The sea level goes up because of the melts of ice.Jonathan Over peck, an earth scientist at the University of Arizona in Tucson thinks sea level rises at rates of up to a meter or three feet per hundred year.This statistic reveals the raising temperature is detrimental to global climate and the main reason why global warming results in sea level rising is that results from thermal expansion.When the temperature of the sea becomes warming than before, so the sea level rises.In addition, as a result of ice melting, landscape also transforms.Statistics suggest that countries built on islands such as Maldives would be submerged in a matter of decades, for the constant rising of sea level.It is caused by global warming, the notoriously environmental problem, which is capable to destroy our mother earth and even ready to it.It disturbs weather patterns, causing droughts, severe storms, hurricanes.People suffered a lot from disasters relevant to global warming.Meanwhile, global warming also causes climate change which brings about many other awful effects such as more destructive storms, more fire disaster and more intensive droughts.The second effect of global warming is to make many animals and plants endangered.Considerable data verified that more than 200 native plant species in the United States have gone;more than 760 plant species in the U.S.are federally listed as endangered or threatened and 20 percent of our native plant species are in decline and on endangered list.As same as plants, there are also many endangered animals which are imputable to global warming, such as Polar bears.Some scientists believe the Polar bears in Alaska will become extinct in 50 years' time.These data warn us that we should call for take actions to keep species survive.The last negative effect of global warming is more related to humankind.Global warming will also threaten human society.It will cause the infectious diseases too easy to spread and infect.Bacteria will be hard to control because they have adapted to the environment.The house will be eroded by destructive insects, hence people will lead a homeless life eventually.What’s more, global warming impedes outdoor activities.Some outside entertainment sports such as skiing and snowboard will be influenced by ice melting and climate change.The carbon-dioxide we emit to the atmosphere adds to global warning.Melted polar ice cap has rung the alert to us.People around the world may feel that the climate has been getting steadily warmer and warmer in recent years.Places which used to be abundant in snowfall have frequently experienced snow-free winters.Drought lasts longer in some dry areas.People find that without air conditioners they could hardly work or fall asleep on hotter summer days.Recent years in summer, the hot air, sweeps across the whole country.Our sweat poured down like rain.And winter however, it’s also warmer them before.In Dagang Oilfield, last winter, we have not ever seen a snow flake!Some places are drier and some other places are more usually to suffer a flood.The nature seems to going to revenge us by using the disasters and we are facing the risk of the nature’s “pay back”.What is global warming? Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and the temperature will still go up.According to the 2007 Fourth Assessment Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, global surface temperature increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C(1.33 ± 0.32 °F)during the 20th century.In nearly 100 years, the average global temperature goes through four periods: cold, warm, cold again, and warm again.Since the 1980s, the temperature has been ascending obviously.As the studies conducted by massive gathering of scientists from all over the world points out, if the global average temperature raised over 2 degrees Celsius, global climate change will be self sustaining, at that point, and a no longer stable climate will be the nightmare reality for every inhabitant of earth.What causes global warming? It is caused by several factors.First, population explosion is one of the main factors of global warming;it also threatens the balance between man and nature.Second, atmospheric pollution is being on the rise, the impact of greenhouse gases is a major factor in the greenhouse effect.Greenhouse gases mainly include carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide.When the density of these gases increased, the green house effect will strengthen.The sunlight passes through the atmosphere to the land and oceans, in turn, the land and oceans release heat, or infrared radiation into the atmosphere, but lots of this radiation is absorbed by the atmosphere.Although greenhouse gases make up only about 1 percent of the Earth’s atmosphere, but much of this radiation is absorbed by greenhouse gases.Besides among the greenhouse gases the carbon dioxide becomes the controlling factor of long-term change in the greenhouse effect.And it has already become an international major problem.It is also the basic problem of global warming.Third, marine ecology and environment take a turn for the worse.That may lead to the damage of fresh water resources.Forth, erosion, salinization, and desertification of land make the ecological environment deteriorated, and flood and sand storm may happen more frequently.Fifth, the forest resources are sharply decreased by natural changes and human actions.Sixth, acid rain can destroy the forests, acidate lakes, and endanger animals.Seventh, water pollution destroys the balance between the demand and supply of fresh water.Last, toxic chemical wastes have threatened on the ecological environment on the earth’ surface.As the situation entails, every one of us has responsibilities to protect the planet and ensure the survival of our species.Luckily, Even though the situation is such serious, we still have the chance, to save us and make friends with the nature.The chance is that: man should live a low carbon-dioxide lifestyle from today!So, what’s it like? Low Carbon dioxide seems like an empty concept and as if it lives very far from us.When it comes to the low Carbon-dioxide, the aspects that come into our mind are no more than the leaflet that the environmental-protection organization send, the speeches that politicians make, the topic that scientists research.Many of us will say such as: Oh man, that’s not our business.And so on.Global warming has posed a serious threat to the survival of humanity in the future.Few people have realized that what our actions in this time mean more to our future than ever.Taking into account the devastating effects of global warming, we can draw the conclusion that global warming is a great threat to our world.Facing the growing menace of global warming, more scientific and active preventive measures should be taken on a larger scale to change for the better.But a survey conducted by Yale University and George Mason University found that the number of Americans who believe that climate change was a joke or scientific conspiracy had more than doubled since 2008, from 7 percent to 16 percent of the population.An additional 13 percent of Americans say they think that even if the planet is warming, it was a result solely of natural factors and was not a significant concern.This survey exposes a certain number of people who do not see it as a severe problem.But in my view.The chances we can take for reduce the CO2 emission is everywhere.In the morning you go to school by private car, why not try to ride to school instead? It’s an environment protection activity as well as an exercise.Then when you attending the class, like math, you can use each side of one paper to write in order to save paper.At noon, classes are over, when the last one leaves the classroom, please make sure that all appliances have been switched off.A large amount of electric energy can be saved by doing this.In the afternoon, if the students on duty can pay attention on the way how they use water to clean the floor and blackboard, and don’t leave the water running, I think they can reduce a large percent of water.Except for the reduction of the expenses of the school, it is also embodies the awareness of the environmental protection.Whether you are in school or at home, you can also do something to live a low Carbon dioxide lifestyle: First, when you are at home.After eating, instead of using facial tissue, why not use handkerchief to clean your mouth and hands? Furthermore, as your parents are cooking, you can tell them that they needn’t overuse much energy to cook fool or boil water, just as them done are all right.As time passes by you will find that little by little you can not only decrease the expense of gas of your family, but also contribute to the reduction of the carbon-dioxide emission.Second, with summer approaching, try not turning on the air conditioning unless it’s too hot to stand.We have many ways to make our house feel cool, open appropriate windows to make fresh air blow in, or just use the fan as an alternative way.When you do this, a few kW-H of electricity can be saved and the power plant can burn lesser coal or oil.Also, we are senior high school students and we are often staying up late.So I suggest that if we can change our reading lamp into a more energy-saving one.It should be an effective way to reduce Carbon-dioxide emission.Fourth, take water for example, we use water everyday, and the problem of water-wasting is very serious.There are many ways to save water in our daily life: we can use the used water to clean the floor instead of pour them into sewer such as use the water we washed face can water the flowers or do housework.Would you know that the fresh water we use and drink need large amount of energy to purify? The fresh water only takes up 30 percent of water on the Earth.And it is only the fresh water that we can drink or use.In addition, when you do some shopping with your parents on the market, it is a good idea to use a paper bag instead of a plastic one.Though there are many people saying this, a few people are willing to do this.Just because the plastic bag is too convenient.In my opinion, the negative effects on plastic bags are larger than its positive effects.Many animals will die if they swallow it.And it’s hard to break down in nature.As well as it west energy to produce and contributes to the carbon-dioxide emission.More importantly, try to use as much green energy sources and products as economic situations allows, especially people in social position, to who with greater resources lays greater responsibility to use those resources for the greater good.Our government is taking some positive and effective actions too.In these years our government has carried out some polices in order to encourage people to use the energy-saving product.In some cities, the government has closed down many factories which cause serious environment pollution and large CO2 emission.And they also hold many lectures and produce many TV programs to raise public awareness.What’s more, they also provide some useful power-saving tips and scientists working for government are doing lots of research in order to find ways to solve the greenhouse gas emission.It seems like that whole society has taken part in this activity.Then, what should we do? As you see, the things mentioned above are in our daily life.Tomorrow when you go to school or stay at home, these things will all take place.We still have the chance to reduce the emission of CO2.We must put the awareness in our mind.Some of us often hold the opinion that: Even though I don’t do it, the CO2 emission to the atmosphere that I contribute to is not more.Or even if I do that, the contribution to CO2 emission will not be less.They think that low carbon-dioxide isn’t themselves business.They think that big factories’ or the rich or government officials should care about it.Imagine that if the paper in front of you is the last piece, the water you used in the toilet is the last drop, the light you switched on is the last one kilowatt-hour in the world, would you want to waste them? There are still some people worried that if they live the low CO2 life.Will other people consider them as strange-behavior men? Well, I think that nowadays almost everyone has known the importance of the low CO2 lifestyle and I think almost everyone will accept it.So people will think that the others among me don’t lead this environmental-friendly lifestyle, why should I do this? Why should I be considered as a strange man? But I think when we have known the importance of doing this, so the pioneer should be us.Imagine that if you see a man is going to die but do nothing to save him, what do you think of yourself? So let us get the move on.Reduce the CO2 emission from the daily life.As the time go through, you will find that your life style has effect on the people among you.The more people join us, the closer between the goal and us.To stop global warming we should make immediate and continual efforts.We hope the situation will soon change.Global warming catches and holds our concern, for it affects us and will affect our later generations.’s go into action.Just do it.Our earth needs all of us.No wait, do it from today: low-Carbon dioxide lifestyle!

自從工業(yè)革命到現(xiàn)在幾個(gè)世紀(jì)以來，人類文明正在快速發(fā)展，我們向地下鉆探以挖掘石油及煤炭，我們發(fā)射火箭以探索太空以及進(jìn)行科學(xué)探索，我們發(fā)明汽車、輪船、飛機(jī)以縮短出發(fā)地與目的地之間的距離，我們發(fā)明手機(jī)和固定電話以縮短心與心之間的距離??我們與自然交戰(zhàn)，以取得我們所需的資源我們?yōu)榱艘吧鷦?dòng)物的毛皮和肉而殺死他們，甚至于有些時(shí)候僅僅是為了娛樂??在這場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中，我們的大自然看起來像是一個(gè)失敗者：她用堅(jiān)固的巨石來保護(hù)她的珍寶，但是最后仍然被“聰明的”人類偷走，她耗費(fèi)無數(shù)年創(chuàng)造出來奇妙的生物，但是人類僅需幾十年甚至幾年就可以滅亡它們??大自然似乎被我們打敗了，而我們?nèi)祟?，萬物之靈，似乎是征服者。

我們真的征服了自然么？ 當(dāng)然沒有。

大量的環(huán)境災(zāi)害對(duì)整個(gè)星球造成了毀滅性的影響：冰川融化，氣候變化，動(dòng)植物滅絕，以及對(duì)人類社會(huì)的威脅。首先，因?yàn)闅鉁氐纳?，冰川融化已?jīng)成為了一個(gè)棘手的問題，融化的冰川加劇了海平面的升高。Jonathan Overpack，一位亞利桑那大學(xué)研究地球的科學(xué)家認(rèn)為海平面的上升速度將會(huì)達(dá)到一米每百年，這個(gè)數(shù)字展示了上升的氣溫對(duì)全球氣候的危害，以及全球變暖導(dǎo)致熱能釋放是導(dǎo)致海平面急劇上升一個(gè)主要原因，當(dāng)海洋溫度比原來更高時(shí)海平面將上升，海岸地區(qū)將受到影響。同時(shí)全球變暖也導(dǎo)致氣候變化帶來了許多負(fù)面影響比如更具破壞力的沙塵暴，更多的火災(zāi)以及更強(qiáng)烈的干旱。

全球變暖的第二個(gè)影響是是許多動(dòng)植物瀕危，可靠的數(shù)據(jù)表明超過美國(guó)已有200種本地植物已經(jīng)滅絕，超過760種植物已被列為瀕危物種，以及20%的本地植物正在減少，并且與植物相同大量的動(dòng)物也因全球變暖而瀕危，比如說北極熊，一些科學(xué)家相信50年后阿拉斯加的北極熊將全部滅絕，這些數(shù)據(jù)警示我們要重視對(duì)動(dòng)植物物種的保護(hù)。

全球變暖的最后一個(gè)消極影響是與人類相關(guān)的，全球變暖也同樣威脅到人類文明，它能導(dǎo)致傳染病的蔓延，細(xì)菌的傳播感染會(huì)變得更加不好控制，這些疾病將會(huì)威脅到我們的生活，房屋將會(huì)被昆蟲或自然災(zāi)害侵蝕及損毀，因此將導(dǎo)致眾多人無家可歸，還有，全球變暖還將導(dǎo)致戶外活動(dòng)受影響，比如滑雪滑冰等將會(huì)被越來越溫暖的氣候“叫?！?。

我們向大氣中排放二氧化碳導(dǎo)致了全球變暖，融化的冰川為我們敲響了警鐘，在這個(gè)夏天，熱浪席卷了整個(gè)國(guó)家，人人汗流浹背，冬天，也似乎比原來更加溫暖了，在大港油田，上個(gè)冬天我們甚至沒有看到雪花！大自然似乎要讓更頻繁的自然災(zāi)害發(fā)生，我們似乎將要面臨大自然的報(bào)復(fù)。

那具體什么是全球變暖呢？全球變暖指的是地表及海洋溫度的升高。自20世紀(jì)中期開始，直至現(xiàn)在仍在持續(xù)著，通過2007年第四次氣候變化政府間小組的調(diào)查報(bào)告看，20世紀(jì)地表溫度已上升了0.74℃，在最近100年內(nèi)全球平均氣溫共經(jīng)歷了四次波動(dòng)：變冷，回暖，再變冷，再回暖，而從1983年開始，氣溫已經(jīng)顯著的上升了。

我們中的很多人會(huì)問：什么導(dǎo)致了全球變暖，嗯，主要由以下幾個(gè)方面：第一，人口爆炸是全球變暖的一個(gè)主要原因，其也威脅到人類與自然間的平衡，第二，大氣污染正在加劇，已經(jīng)變成了一個(gè)主要的國(guó)際性問題，第三，海洋環(huán)境也變得更加糟糕，這破壞了淡水資源，第四，侵蝕作用、土地鹽堿化以及沙漠化使得大量可用土壤退化，洪水和沙塵暴變得更加頻繁，第五，森林資源因人類活動(dòng)而急劇減少，第六，酸雨變得更加頻繁，酸雨可以破壞森林以及酸化土壤和湖泊，是大量動(dòng)物瀕危，第七，水污染打破人類對(duì)淡水的需求以及淡水供給的平衡，最后，有毒的化學(xué)試劑污染威脅到了生物圈的生態(tài)環(huán)境。

幸運(yùn)的是，即使這樣，即使情況如此嚴(yán)峻，我們?nèi)匀挥袡C(jī)會(huì)來拯救我們，以及善待自然。

機(jī)會(huì)就是：從今天起，過一種低碳的生活！

那么，這種生活方式又是怎樣的呢？低碳看起來似乎是一種離我們很遠(yuǎn)的、空洞的概念，談到低碳我們能想到的無非是環(huán)保組織發(fā)的傳單，政客們做的演講，以及科學(xué)家們研究的主題。我們中的許多人會(huì)說比如：這與我們有什么相關(guān)呢？等等。

耶魯大學(xué)等大學(xué)曾做過一個(gè)調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，大量的美國(guó)人表示不相信全球變暖的嚴(yán)重性，在2008年這個(gè)數(shù)字還得以從7%加倍到了16%，另外還有13%的美國(guó)人認(rèn)為即使全球正在變暖，那也只是一個(gè)社會(huì)及生產(chǎn)力發(fā)展的結(jié)果，不需要過焦慮，這個(gè)調(diào)查表明了的確有一部分人并不認(rèn)為這是一個(gè)嚴(yán)重的問題。

但是在我看來，可以減排二氧化碳的機(jī)會(huì)無處不在：早上去上學(xué)，不乘私家車而騎車去學(xué)校，不僅有利于環(huán)保而且也鍛煉身體，然后上課，比如說數(shù)學(xué)，你可以雙面用紙來節(jié)約用紙，中午放學(xué)，最后一人離開教室時(shí)，確保所有的電器都已經(jīng)關(guān)上，這樣可以省一大部分電，下午大掃除，如果每位值日生都能注意用水的話，我想這樣也可以節(jié)省大量的水。這樣除了減少了學(xué)校的開支，也體現(xiàn)出了環(huán)保的意識(shí)。

不管你是在學(xué)校還是在家里，你都可以做一些低碳環(huán)保的事情：首先你在家的時(shí)候，吃完飯使用手帕而不是紙巾擦嘴或手，然后，在你的父母正做飯時(shí)，你可以建議他們不需要浪費(fèi)太多的能源，食物做熟、水燒開即可，時(shí)間慢慢過去你就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)你不僅為家庭減少了開支，并且還為減少二氧化碳排放做出了貢獻(xiàn)，第二，隨著夏天的臨近，試著不去開空調(diào)，除非熱得受不了，我們有很多辦法把室溫降下來，比如說開一些窗戶使空氣對(duì)流，或者說開電扇或扇扇子來代替，做這些的話，就可以少耗費(fèi)幾度電，發(fā)電廠將因此少耗費(fèi)些石油和煤，這也對(duì)節(jié)能減排很有幫助，第三，我們是高中生，經(jīng)常熬夜寫作業(yè)學(xué)習(xí)，所以我建議我們把用的臺(tái)燈換成節(jié)能燈，這也是一個(gè)有效地減少二氧化碳排放的方法，第四，拿用水舉個(gè)例子，我們每天都在用水，水資源浪費(fèi)的現(xiàn)象也很嚴(yán)重，我們?cè)谌粘Ｉ钪械暮芏嗟胤蕉伎梢怨?jié)水：我們可以用洗過臉的水澆花或洗衣服而不是直接把它們倒進(jìn)下水道里，要知道淡化水是需要耗費(fèi)大量的能源的，而我們?nèi)祟愇ㄒ豢梢燥嬘玫牡偭績(jī)H占世界水總量的30%。另外，當(dāng)你和你的父母去市場(chǎng)買東西的時(shí)候，用紙袋購(gòu)物而不使用塑料袋也是一個(gè)很好的辦法，雖然很多人都在這么說，但是極少有人這么做，理由是使用塑料袋的確比較方便，在我看來，使用塑料袋對(duì)環(huán)境的消極影響遠(yuǎn)大于其積極影響，很多動(dòng)物會(huì)因誤食塑料袋而致死，并且塑料袋在自然環(huán)境下很難分解，制造它們還會(huì)排放大量的溫室氣體。

我們的政府也采取了大量的積極措施，這些年來我們的政府制定了一系列的政策來鼓勵(lì)節(jié)能產(chǎn)品的生產(chǎn)，在一些城市，政府關(guān)停了很多高耗能高污染的企業(yè)，除此之外，還舉辦了一些講座、做一些電視節(jié)目來普及低碳環(huán)保知識(shí)和理念，還有，他們也常提供一些有用的節(jié)能環(huán)保小貼士，科學(xué)家們也在做這方面的研究來解決溫室氣體排放的問題，看起來全社會(huì)似乎都已行動(dòng)起來

那么我們呢？

你也看見了，以上所說的事情都發(fā)生在我們的日常生活中，明天你無論呆在家中還是去上學(xué)，這些事情都會(huì)發(fā)生，我們并不缺少減少碳排放的機(jī)會(huì)，只是缺少這方面的意識(shí)，我們中的許多人都認(rèn)為即使我不做，環(huán)境也不會(huì)多么的惡化，或即使我做了，環(huán)境也不會(huì)得到明顯的好轉(zhuǎn)，他們認(rèn)為低碳與他們無關(guān)，他們認(rèn)為這僅僅與一些大工廠或富人或政府官員或科學(xué)家們有關(guān)，但想象一下假如你面前的紙是最后一張紙，你在廁所接的水是最后一滴，你開燈使用的電是最后一度，你還想去浪費(fèi)它們么？但也有很多人會(huì)想如果只有自己做到了低碳生活，會(huì)不會(huì)變得太另類。我認(rèn)為現(xiàn)在低碳意識(shí)已經(jīng)深入人心，人們不去做僅僅是因?yàn)樗麄內(nèi)鄙僖粋€(gè)帶頭人，而我想那個(gè)人應(yīng)該是我們中的一個(gè)，因?yàn)槲覀円呀?jīng)充分了解到了低碳的必要性，想象一下假如你親眼看著一個(gè)人要死去而不采取任何措施去救，你會(huì)怎么評(píng)價(jià)這種行為呢？所以讓我們行動(dòng)起來，在日常生活中減少二氧化碳的排放，當(dāng)時(shí)間慢慢過去你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)這種生活方式已經(jīng)影響到了你身邊的每一個(gè)人，加入我們的人越多，我們離目標(biāo)就越近，讓我們行動(dòng)吧，不要再猶豫，從今天做起：低碳的生活方式！

第二篇：英語(yǔ)低碳生活素材

我們中的每個(gè)人都應(yīng)該對(duì)自己日常生活活動(dòng)和選擇所產(chǎn)生的溫室氣體負(fù)責(zé)。因此，防止氣候變化需要地球上的每個(gè)人共同來努力。

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.在中國(guó)，平均每戶每年的碳排放量是2.41噸二氧化碳。足夠填充半個(gè)奧運(yùn)游泳池了。

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.看到這個(gè)數(shù)字覺得吃驚么？下面，我們來看看怎樣減少碳排放量。

Surprised? Well, here's how you can work to reduce it:

1.開始計(jì)算你自己的碳排放量。這個(gè)數(shù)據(jù)是你的起點(diǎn)，從這里開始你可以監(jiān)控自己的進(jìn)展。接下來，你可以記錄一些細(xì)節(jié)，例如：你所居住的公寓的情況，你的個(gè)人能源消費(fèi)及旅游習(xí)慣。

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.每周有一天吃素。由于烹飪?nèi)忸惡臅r(shí)較長(zhǎng)，所以耗能更多。此外，動(dòng)物打嗝、放屁時(shí)會(huì)產(chǎn)生另一種危險(xiǎn)的溫室氣體--甲烷。

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.只買適量的食物，如有剩飯要富有創(chuàng)新精神。例如：將剩菜做成湯。在餐廳吃飯，如有剩飯一定要打包。但是，切記要適用自己的飯盒，避免用一次性飯盒。

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.4.了解身邊的回收利用設(shè)施。然后，確保把紙張、塑料瓶等物品分開以方便回收。也有回收電器、電池的地方，確保你能找到它們。

4.Find out what the recycling options are in your area.Then make sure you keep items such as paper and plastic bottles separate so that they can be recycled.There are places where you can recycle electronic appliances and batteries.Make sure you find them.5.使用節(jié)能燈泡節(jié)省能源。它們的耗電量?jī)H是普通燈泡的三分之一，持續(xù)時(shí)間卻是后者的10倍。

5.Conserve energy by using efficient light bulbs.They use about one-third of the energy of normal bulbs and last 10 times as long.6.熱水器不用就別開，溫度控制不要過熱。燒水時(shí)在鍋上蓋好蓋子。

6.Only turn the water heater on when necessary, and adjust temperature controls to avoid overheating.Put a lid on a pan when boiling water.7.使用后的廢水將被處理，此時(shí)污水中的部分甲烷會(huì)釋放到大氣中。建議采用噴頭淋浴而非浴缸?？s短兩分鐘洗澡時(shí)間，省水同時(shí)為自己多爭(zhēng)取兩分鐘睡眠時(shí)間。

7.After use, waste water has to be treated, and some methane from sewage escapes into the atmosphere.Take showers rather than baths and reduce your shower time by two minutes.This will save water and give you an extra two minutes in bed.8.使用洗衣機(jī)時(shí)，確認(rèn)滿載，如果衣服不是很臟就把溫度調(diào)低。

8.When using the washing machine, be sure there's a full load and turn the temperature down if it's not really grubby.9.和洗衣機(jī)一樣位列“最貪婪”家電的就是電冰箱了。電冰箱要避免太陽(yáng)直射，遠(yuǎn)離微波爐或火爐，盡量保證它的工作效率。另外，切記不要把熱的食物放進(jìn)冰箱。

9.The greediest home device along with the washing machine is the fridge.Make sure it's as efficient as possible by keeping it out of direct sunlight and away from the oven or heater.Don't put food in when it's still warm.10.這一點(diǎn)很明顯也很重要：不使用時(shí)，關(guān)掉所有電器，包括燈。

10.This is obvious, but essential: switch off all appliances when you're not using them.This includes lights.11.門底或窗戶縫進(jìn)風(fēng)時(shí)，沒必要提高室內(nèi)溫度。再密封一下窗戶縫就可以留住熱氣了。

11.There's no point having the heat up high while the wind's blowing in under the door or sneaking in through the window.Reseal all window frames to keep the heat in.12.取消不必要的打印工作，紙張兩面都可打印，盡量減少頁(yè)邊空白。

12.Only print things out when necessary, and print double-sided and reduce the margins.13.在單位盡量使用自己的杯子和餐具。這能減少一次性杯子和餐具的廢棄量--但是，這就意味著洗餐具要消耗很多水。因此，洗餐具時(shí)要注意用水方法。

13.Take your own mug and cutlery to work.This saves throwing away disposable cups and containers-but that could be outweighed by washing your cutlery.So, pay attention to how you use water when washing your dishes.14.食品生產(chǎn)耗能巨大。買食品時(shí)，請(qǐng)盡量選擇當(dāng)?shù)厥称范沁M(jìn)口食品，買新鮮蔬菜而不是冷凍食品。

14.Food production eats up lots of energy.When you buy food, go local rather than imported, and get fresh vegetables instead of frozen.15.使用可再用、可循環(huán)、可降解物品。記得使用可再用的購(gòu)物袋。

15.Look for reusable, recyclable, biodegradable items and remember to carry your reusable shopping bags!

16.盡量買高質(zhì)量，壽命長(zhǎng)的商品，盡管這可能會(huì)有一點(diǎn)貴。筆記本電腦比臺(tái)式電腦效率更高，小屏幕電視比寬屏電視要好。

16.Try to buy high-quality, long-lasting products even though they may cost a little more.A laptop is more efficient than a desktop, and a small screen TV is better than a big flat-screen.17.不要購(gòu)買沒必要的衣物，對(duì)衣物料子的選擇要謹(jǐn)慎。羊毛和棉織品有很強(qiáng)的溫室氣體影響。人造纖維，例如伸縮尼龍就是個(gè)更好的選擇。

17.Don't purchase unnecessary clothes, and be careful about the materials you buy.Wool and cotton fabrics have a really high greenhouse gas impact.Manmade fibers such as polyester are a better choice.18.所有機(jī)動(dòng)化的外出旅行都會(huì)產(chǎn)生二氧化碳。公共汽車和火車會(huì)比汽車好，而步行和騎自行車更好。這不僅有益身心健康，還很便宜。

18.All motorized travel is carbon-intensive.Buses and trains are better than cars, but walking or cycling is better still.It's also better for your health and cheaper.19.相比而言，航空旅行簡(jiǎn)直就是環(huán)境災(zāi)難。除了二氧化碳，飛機(jī)還釋放出另外一種有害氣體--一氧化碳。

19.Air travel is an environmental disaster.As well as carbon dioxide, planes emit nitrogen oxide, another nasty gas.20.（碳評(píng)論博客寫手）Chris Goodall曾說：“研究這個(gè)問題，從中找到適合中國(guó)的選項(xiàng)。一起討論接下來該怎么做。努力用中國(guó)的熟練技能為世界其他國(guó)家提供答案。如果氣候變化問題持續(xù)不加以抑制，中國(guó)也將不能自給自足。我們沒有選擇。我們不得不采取行動(dòng)?！?/p>

20.Chris Goodall says: “Study the issues.Understand the options

available to China.Get involved in the debates about what to do.Find ways of using the country's immense skills to provide answers to the rest of the world.If climate change goes on unchecked, China will not be able to feed itself.Water will run out.We have no choice.We have to act.”

21.了解當(dāng)?shù)刂铝τ诜纻錃夂蜃兓慕M織。多了解該方面信息，積極參與活動(dòng)、傳播消息。

21.Find out about local groups that are committed to combating climate change.Stay informed, get involved, and spread the word.

第三篇：低碳生活英語(yǔ)演講稿

I am honored to stand here to share you with such a important subject as the low carbon life.The issue of low carbon life is increasingly and seriously important in current days.What is more,individuals ,organizations and even the whole society have been attaching due attention to this issue.Especially after the Copenhagen meeting, low-carbon has become a catch word in the Chinese popular media and daily conversation of Chinese people.Not only China but all countries focus on the topic.In the attempt to get a clearer perspective of low carbon life.I will introduce low-carbon life from 3 aspect：WhatWhyHow.First of all, we should know what the low-carbon living is.“Low carbon life” is refers to life work and rest place cost when the energy to try to reduce, thereby reducing carbon, reducing the pollution of the atmosphere, slow ing ecological deteriorating, mainly from solar power saving and recovery of three links to change life details.In a word,it means less cost，healthier and safer.Meanwhile, a series of related words, such as low-carbon economy, low-carbon life, low-carbon society,low-carbon technology, carbon footprint and so on, comes with the tide of fashion.carbon footprint is the total amount of CO2 and other greenhouse gases emitted over the full life cycle of a product or service.Why is there a need for us to advocate the lifestyle of low carbon

life?For one thing,our earth is confronted with kinds of pollutions,which result in a increasingly worse living environment.For another,the low carbon life have variety of benefits on creating a better life.For example,smog,acid rain,global warming,white pollution affect crop production and disrupts wildlife distributions,and leads to the extinction of wild species.Were there no environmental protection, never would we taste the real happiness of the life.Fortunately,low carbon lifestyle contributes a lot to the environmental protection and it is a favorable way to slow down the rate of climate change of our earth, which also means a lot to our health.For that low carbon life can provide us not only with delicious food,but also with fresh air,and such benefits as clean water and bright sunshine.Then people can keep fit physically,by taking part in the low carbon life.At last,the most important problem is that how do we live in a low carbon life.Firstly, the awareness of the importance of low carbon life should be enhanced,which will lead us to make every effort to protect the environment and keep the health lifestyle.Secondly,in this issue,researchers,scholars and experts are expected to work out up-to-date methods to livingcarbon life.Thirdly,it is imperative that proper regulations and polices with the joint of government are supposed to be introduced and enforced to promote the implementation of low carbon life.The most easy thing for our college students to live a low-carbon life is saving paper.We should print things out only when necessary, and print double-sided.Paper cups are made from cutting forests.We should try not to use them, or select the smaller ones because trees can absorb carbon dioxide and reduce greenhouse gas.Keep in mind that do not let the desert from the birth of your hands.(視頻部分）In fact,some researchers have kept working hard on the research of saving paper,such as the invention of e-paper.Here is a viedo about the introduction of e-paper.Watch carefully,and then you will answer these questions:~

Other things we can do is recycling the old battery,Using energy-saving bulb,Turning off the power socket timely,Choosingbicycle , bus, and subwayand so on.There are so many low-carbon life actions that it is impossible to list all of them.Low-carbon life can be summarized as moderate food, house, transportation, more sports and not wasting.In terms of traditional Chinese culture, the concept of low-carbon life can also be regarded as hardworking and thrift.We should try our best to call for people around us to take part in the low carbon lifestyle, informing them that living a low carbon life not only can reduce emissions, make our own contributions to our city, but

also do good to ourselves, including keeping us healthy, set examples for our children when you have or for future generations, and so on.All in all, it weighs greatly for all of us to put the low carbon lifestyle into practice.Just set our mind to these: no-car day, no plastic bags, and no waste.

低碳生活英語(yǔ)演講稿

【低碳生活英語(yǔ)演講稿】

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.海量資料分享

presently, a new lifestyle called low carbon life is spreading every corner of our country.the concepts of low carbon are low energy and no waste.it is such a significant project that i can’t wait to present my ideas on how to promote it.on the first place, a no-car day is supposed to set up every week in our school.because cars not only cause serious air pollution but also waste energy.on no-car day, neither students nor teachers are allowed to drive to school.meanwhile, just walk, jump, cycle or run.use our legs and enjoy the fun.on the second place, we had best not use plastic bags any more.no one can stand the “white pollution”.so, it is wise to use bags which can be reused again and again.finally, one thing that we should keep in mind: every big thing comes from the subtle.therefore, as students, we ought to turn out the lights the moment we leave, turn off the tap in time, and reuse our textbook and so on.all in all, it weighs greatly for all of us to put the low carbon lifestyle into practice.just set our mind to these: no-car day, no plastic bags, and no waste.let’s do it now
