Answer

One possible version:

Nowadays, it is becoming common to lead a low-carbon lifestyle. We know that carbon dioxide is the major greenhouse gas that causes global warming. By living a low-carbon life, we can cut carbon dioxide emissions, which may contribute to stopping the temperature from rising.

There are many ways of leading an environmentally friendly life. For instance, we can turn off electrical appliances like lights, the television and the computer when we aren’t using them. Cars not only cause serious air pollution but also waste energy, so we could walk or ride a bicycle for short trips. If we need to travel a long distance we can take public transportation. It is also wise to use reusable cloth bags and not disposable plastic bags when we are shopping.

I believe that as long as each of us makes a small change to cut carbon emissions, we can make a big difference and develop a harmonious relationship with the environment.

【解析】本文是有关环保类的热点话题，是“低碳生活，从我做起”的征文投稿，通过审题可知用一般现在时，用第一人称we，文章分三部分写，第一部分写低碳生活的重要性，好处：减少二氧化碳的排放，有利于缓解全球变暖；第二段写从我做起，我们可以做哪些事减少碳排放，可参考以下要点：随手关掉不用的电器，如电灯、电视和电脑；步行或骑自行车出行；如果路程远，乘坐公交车 购物时尽量使用环保布袋，不用一次性塑料袋。第三段发出号召呼吁每个人贡献自己的一份力量，大家都行动起来，我们就能与环境和谐共处。

文章要求观点明确，要点全面，前后连贯。还要注意句式的变换和使用一些高级词汇和句型为文章增加亮点。比如宾语从句that carbon dioxide is the major greenhouse gas that causes global warming.定语从句which may contribute to stopping the temperature from rising. It is also wise to do句型。高级词汇contribute to, as long as, make a difference等的使用和For instance, not only…but also等连接词的运用。
