1、2. 每周有一天吃素。由于烹饪肉类耗时较长,所以耗能更多。此外,动物打嗝、放屁时会产生另一种危险的温室气体-甲烷。2. Each week, choose one day when you dont 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. 只买适量的食物,如有剩饭要富有创新精神。例如:将剩菜
2、做成汤。在餐厅吃饭,如有剩饭一定要打包。但是,切记要适用自己的饭盒,避免用一次性饭盒。3. Only buy the amount of food you need and if there are leftovers, get creative. For instance, make them into a soup.

They use about one-third of the energy of normal bulbs and last 10 times as long.6. 热水器不用就别开,温度控制不要过热。烧水时在锅上盖好盖子。6. Only turn the water heater on when necessary, and adjust temperature co
5、ntrols to avoid overheating. Put a lid on a pan when boiling water.7. 使用后的废水将被处理,此时污水中的部分甲烷会释放到大气中。建议采用喷头淋浴而非浴缸。缩短两分钟洗澡时间,省水同时为自己多争取两分钟睡眠时间。7.

Theres no point having the heat up high while the winds 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,纸张两面都可打印,尽量减少页
9、边空白。12. Only print things out when necessary, and print double-sided and reduce the margins.13. 在单位尽量使用自己的杯子和餐具。这能减少一次性杯子和餐具的废弃量-但是,这就意味着洗餐具要消耗很多水。因此,洗餐具时要注意用水方法。13. Take your own mug and cutlery to work. This saves throwing away disposable cups and containers - but that could be outweighed by washi
10、ng your cutlery. So, pay attention to how you use water when washing your dishes.14. 食品生产耗能巨大。买食品时,请尽量选择当地食品而非进口食品,买新鲜蔬菜而不是冷冻食品。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、可循环、可降解物品。记得使用可再用的购物袋。15.

12、 small screen TV is better than a big flat-screen.17. 不要购买没必要的衣物,对衣物料子的选择要谨慎。羊毛和棉织品有很强的温室气体影响。人造纤维,例如伸缩尼龙就是个更好的选择。17. Dont 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
13、a better choice.18. 所有机动化的外出旅行都会产生二氧化碳。公共汽车和火车会比汽车好,而步行和骑自行车更好。这不仅有益身心健康,还很便宜。18. All motorized travel is carbon-intensive. Buses and trains are better than cars, but walking or cycling is better still. Its also better for your health and cheaper.19. 相比而言,航空旅行简直就是环境灾难。除了二氧化碳,飞机还释放出另外一种有害气体-一氧化碳。19.
14、Air travel is an environmental disaster. As well as carbon dioxide, planes emit nitrogen oxide, another nasty gas.20. (碳评论博客写手)Chris Goodall曾说:“研究这个问题,从中找到适合中国的选项。一起讨论接下来该怎么做。努力用中国的熟练技能为世界其他国家提供答案。如果气候变化问题持续不加以抑制,中国也将不能自给自足。我们没有选择。我们不得不采取行动。”20. Chris Goodall says: Study the issues. Understand the o

24、nt rate of domestic sewage 集中处理厂 centralized treatment plant 低碳生活方式,即low-carbon lifestyle,检索发觉,这一词语已成为网络新宠,这是因为我国的多数市已经诞生了“低碳一族”,他们天天利用传统的发条闹钟,取代电子闹钟;在午休和下班后关掉电脑和平板显示器;一旦不用电灯、空调,顺手关掉;电话一旦充电完成,当即拔掉充电插头;选择晾晒衣物,幸免利用滚筒式干衣机;用在周围公园中的慢跑取代在跑步机上的45分钟锻炼;用节能灯替换60瓦的灯泡;不开汽车改骑自行车简而言之,“低碳生活”方式能够明白得为减低二氧化碳的排放,确实是低能
25、量、低消耗、低开支的生活方式。而“低碳一族”正以自己生活细节的改变证明:气候转变已经再也不只是环保主义者、政府官员和专家学者关切的问题,而是与咱们每一个人息息相关。在提倡健康生活已成潮流的今天,“低碳生活”再也不只是一种理想,更是一种值得期待的新的生活方式!相关英语表达见如下例句:(1)A one-year carbon emission reduction program proposed by Chinas Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP) was started here Wednesday, on World Earth Day, t

28、碳生活方式”相关的说法还有“低碳生活”,即low-carbon life,相关搭配确实是lead a low-carbon life依照上述概念,咱们不难明白得,一个提提倡低碳经济的社会确实是“低碳社会”(low-carbon society),同理就有“低碳社区”,“低碳城市”和“低碳世界”,即low carbon community, low-carbon city和low-carbon world。因为在资源日趋欠缺、生态环境受到挑战的今天,进展低碳经济、提倡低碳生活、建设低碳城市正在成为国际上普遍认同的经济社会进展模式。其他说法还有“低碳开发区”,即low carbon develop
29、ment zone,如下述例句:One example of this is the Low Carbon Development Zones being discussed by the EU and China. The Zones, piloted in a small number of Chinese cities and provinces, could both support Chinas transition to a low carbon economy and accelerate the development and deployment of low carbon goods, technologies and services to EU, Chinese and global markets.显而易见,在全球暖化(global warming)导致的气候变化(climate change)的威胁之下,全球正直面低碳挑战(low-carbon challenge),因此,发展低碳经济,减少碳排放(carbon emission reduction),倡导低碳生活方式不但势在必行,而且
