The government-subsidized 1 yuan energy-saving lamp is being promoted in 4 central urban areas of Beijing. Yesterday, in the Longtan Lake community of Chongwen District, the owner, Ms. Zhang Ling, purchased 5 energy-saving lamps with a hukou and 3.5 yuan. In the early morning, she replaced all 8 bulbs in the house with 5 watt energy-saving lamps. With an average of 4 hours of lighting per day, 1 energy-saving lamp can save about 71.5 degrees in one year, saving nearly 300 yuan in electricity costs. Zhang Ling carefully counted, not only save money, but also equivalent to neutralizing 137 kg 2 two carbon dioxide!
Carbon neutral, a strange word. At the just-concluded National Energy Conservation Publicity Week, it is becoming a hot word of high usage. The head of the Beijing Environmental Protection Agency Mission Office said that it is advocating citizens and NGOs to actively carry out carbon neutrality actions to practice the green Olympics and cope with the global climate. Changes make a positive contribution.
Carbon neutralization
Carbon neutrality, as its name implies, is the calculation of carbon dioxide emissions produced directly or indirectly by its daily activities, and the corresponding amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is offset by tree planting or other environmental protection projects.
Carbon neutrality action
The public sent a green gift
Carbon neutrality has now become an active environmental initiative in various countries around the world. In Beijing, Carbon Neutral is becoming a green gift for the upcoming Olympics.
In the Dachengxiang community of Xicheng District, the 70-year-old grandfather Liu Qi took a bucket of vegetable washing water and walked from the fifth floor home to the green area. Both poplars have small cards that read: Adoptor: Liu Qi, adoption time until March 2009. The old man walked around the poplar and poured the water evenly. Watering the trees has become Liu Qi's habit. Every day, the water for washing vegetables is saved, and then the water is used to water the trees. Trees, like the lungs of the earth, play an important role in slowing global warming. Adopting trees can neutralize the carbon produced in our lives. Since 2006, 75 trees in the Dacheng Lane community have been adopted by community residents.
In the same community, residents of Li’s home can see large and small pots everywhere. These pots are used to store the dishes for washing vegetables and washing hands. More conspicuously, in the kitchen, two trash cans are neatly placed. The removed leaves were thrown into a white, non-recyclable trash can, and the mineral water bottle was placed in a red, recyclable trash can. The garbage collection bins of the Dachengxiang community are marked with classification marks: recyclable garbage and non-recyclable garbage.
Li Lin, director of strategy of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) China Branch, said that if garbage is not sorted, not only can the recovered waste be landfilled and incinerated, but also methane gas will be produced after a period of landfill, a methane molecule for the greenhouse effect. The impact is 23 times larger than a carbon dioxide molecule. After the classification, the garbage is not only used correspondingly, but also the carbon emissions are greatly reduced. According to statistics, 20% of waste paper and glass in urban waste in the country are recycled, which can save about 2.7 million tons of standard coal per year and correspondingly reduce carbon dioxide by 6.9 million tons.
Spontaneous carbon neutrality actions are everywhere in the capital. On June 21st, Friends of Nature and other institutions advocated the one-hour event of closing the lights in the summer solstice. Many residents in Beijing Xintiandi Community, Sun Star City and Shichahai Community responded. In the Shichahai and Nanluoguxiang business districts, the neon lights on the outer walls were closed, which was more primitive and quiet.
