What is a low-carbon lifestyle?

1, low carbon means lower (lower) greenhouse gas (mainly carbon dioxide) emissions. It is a low-energy and low-consumption lifestyle. Simply understood, low-carbon life is to return to nature and carry out activities between man and nature. Therefore, low-carbon life is a lifestyle advocated today.

2. "Low-carbon life" refers to reducing the energy consumed in daily life as much as possible, thereby reducing the emission of carbon, especially carbon dioxide, thereby reducing the pollution to the atmosphere and slowing down the ecological deterioration. The details of life are mainly changed from three aspects: electricity saving, solar terms and recycling. Low-carbon life represents a healthier, more natural and safer life, and it is also a low-cost and low-cost lifestyle. Low-carbon is not only a corporate behavior, but also a lifestyle that conforms to the trend of the times and is one of the lifestyles advocated by China.

3. Application example:

(1) The amount of food stored in the refrigerator should be 60% of the volume. When there is too little food in the refrigerator, the heat capacity will decrease. Opening the refrigerator will accelerate the release of cold air, and the compressor will start frequently, which will increase the electricity consumption. If the stored food is too full, it is not conducive to the circulation of cold air, and the refrigerator is easy to freeze, which will increase the running time of the compressor and increase the power consumption.

(2) For the same long washing time, the motor starts more times when it works in the weak gear, that is to say, using the strong gear actually saves electricity than the weak gear and can prolong the life of the 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.

(3) When the computer is not used for a short time, the energy consumption can be reduced to below 50% 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.
