At present, too much carbon dioxide makes the earth warmer and warmer and causes terrible effect to human beings. To save our planet, to save ourselves, a new lifestyle called low-carbon life becomes popular. Low-carbon means low energy and no waste. It is necessary for everybody to learn to live a low-carbon life.
To live a low-carbon life, we'd better save energy as possible. Turn off the lights and TV whenever they are not needed. If possible, use cold water to wash clothes or dishes.
To live a low-carbon life, we should eat less meat. Everybody knows eating too much meat makes people fat and easy to have heart disease, but maybe you don't know keeping animals for food produces even more carbon dioxide than all the cars in the world. Being a vegetarian can help reduce one and a half tons of carbon dioxide a year. Maybe it is a little difficult, but it's really necessary.
To live a low-carbon life, we are supposed to do less shopping. When we go shopping, we may drive a car or take other transportations. On the one hand, these machines pollute the air and waste energy. On the other hand, most of us always buy some useless things because of some advertisements. It is not only a waste of money but also causes trouble to the earth, because, as you know, making everything will produce carbon dioxide more or less. There are many other ways to live low-carbon life. If we can keep it a habit in our daily life, the earth will become a safer planet for us to live in.
目前，太多的二氧化碳使地球越来越暖，给人类带来恶劣影响。为了拯救我们的星球、拯救我们自己，一个叫低碳生活的生活方式变得流行起来。低碳意味着低能耗、不浪费，每个人需要学会过一种低碳生活。
过低碳生活，我们最好尽可能地节约能源，不需要时关灯、关电视，如果可能，使用冷水洗衣、洗碗。
过低碳生活，我们应该吃更少的肉，人人都知吃太多肉使人发胖、容易引起心脏疾患。也许你不知道饲养动物作为食物产生比世界上所有汽车还多的二氧化碳。成为素食主义者能帮助减少一年1.5吨二氧化碳，这可能有点困难，但这是很有必要的。
过低碳生活，我们应减少购物，当我们去购物时，我们可能会开车或坐别的交通工具。一方面，这些机械污染空气、耗费能源；另一方面，大多数人因广告买一些无用的商品，这不但浪费钱也给地球带来麻烦。因为众所周知，制造物品将或多或少产生二氧化碳。还有很多别的方式去过低碳生活，如果我们在日常生活中保持这种习惯，地球将变成一个更安全的星球让我们居住。（潜龙家教谭老师译文录入，感谢您的查看！） |
