What is a low-carbon life and how can we protect the environment?

Low-carbon life refers to the use of low-carbon scientific and technological innovation to reduce energy consumption, especially carbon dioxide emissions, so as to reduce carbon, reduce air pollution and slow down ecological deterioration. Change the details of life mainly from three aspects: electricity saving, solar terms and recycling.

Low-carbon means that the emission of greenhouse gases (mainly carbon dioxide) is lower (lower), and low-carbon life can be understood as: reducing the emission of carbon dioxide, a lifestyle with low energy consumption, low consumption and low cost.

Protect the environment:

1, refrigerator

The amount of food stored in the refrigerator should be controlled at about 80%. Whether it is too much or too little, it consumes electricity. There should be a gap of about 10 mm between food and refrigerator. Using several plastic boxes to hold water, making ice cubes in the freezer and putting them in the freezer can prolong the downtime and reduce the startup time.

2. Air conditioning

The instantaneous current of air conditioner is large, and frequent switching consumes considerable power, which is easy to damage the compressor. Put the fan under the air conditioner and use the wind power of the fan to improve the cooling effect. Turn on the electric fan immediately after the air conditioner is turned on. You don't have to turn on the air conditioner all night at night, saving nearly 90% electricity. Set the air conditioner to dehumidification mode. At this time, even if the room temperature is slightly higher, it can make people feel cool and save electricity compared with refrigeration mode.

3. Washing machine

For the same long washing time, the motor starts more times when it works in weak gear, that is to say, using strong gear actually saves electricity than weak gear and can prolong the life of washing machine. According to the rotation speed 1680 rpm (only applicable to turbine type) and dehydration time 1 min, the dehydration rate can reach 55%. Generally, dehydration does not exceed 3 minutes. Prolonging dehydration time is of little significance.

4. Microwave oven

Dry food is mixed with water, covered or wrapped with polypropylene plastic wrap before heating, or heated with heat-resistant glassware with cover. The amount of food heated or cooked at one time should not exceed 0.5 kg, and it is best to cut it into small pieces. When the quantity is large, it should be heated in different periods and stirred in the middle.

5. Computer

When the computer is not used for a short time, the energy consumption can be reduced to below 60% by turning on the "sleep" mode of the computer; Turn off unused programs and peripherals, such as speakers and printers; Do not let the hard disk, floppy disk and CD work at the same time; Reduce the brightness of the display appropriately.

Extended data

Since the 13th Five-Year Plan, China has achieved remarkable results in low-carbon development and emission reduction. According to the data provided by the National Development and Reform Commission, the installed capacity of hydropower, wind power, photovoltaic power generation and nuclear power in China ranks first in the world, the intensity of carbon emissions has dropped sharply, and the total coal consumption has declined for several years in a row, reversing the rapid growth of carbon dioxide emissions for many years.

Through various low-carbon pilot projects, China has made positive progress in improving the policy system of energy conservation and emission reduction, promoting the construction of carbon market, and mobilizing local and public participation.

In addition to fulfilling its global environmental governance responsibilities, China actively promotes green and low-carbon development, which is also an internal demand for improving quality and efficiency, deepening supply-side structural reform, cultivating new development momentum and realizing sustainable economic and social development.

The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has repeatedly emphasized green and low-carbon construction, such as establishing and improving the economic system of green and low-carbon circular development; Promote the revolution of energy production and consumption, and build a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system; Advocate a simple and moderate, green and low-carbon lifestyle and so on.
