Did you see snow in your home town last winter? Did you feel it was warmer than before? “There have been 28 warm winters in China since 1986,” said scientists. They also said that in the past 100 years, as the global(全球的) temperatures went up by 0.74 oC, the temperature in North China has gone up by 1.4 oC in only 50 years.
China needs to take quick action to cut carbon dioxide emission(排放), because it’s the main reason for global warming. We plan to cut energy use by 20% and pollution emission by 10% in the 11th Five-Year Plan.
Can you slow global warming? Sure! You and your family can take steps to cut the amount of carbon dioxide that is sent out into the air.
Here are some pieces of advice to help you save the earth.
Wear used clothes. Wearing your brother’s, sister’s or dad’s old T-shirts means you save the energy.
Ride on the bus. Taking a bus saves a lot of oil every year.
Open the window. Don’t use the air conditioner(空调), and let some fresh air in. When you have to use it, set the temperature higher in summer and lower in winter to save energy.
Make small changes in your daily life. Don’t use paper cups, bags and boxes.
