低碳生活处处可为

低碳生活处处可为 Low carbon life can be everywhere Not long ago, Li Chongyin, a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a meteorologist, attended the eleventh annual meeting of the Association for science and technology. She pointed out: "the beauty of the heart of women can also lead to global warming."." Because the cosmetics containing freon, the release of this material up into the stratosphere, if there is no strong photochemical action, it can not break down, thereby destroying the ozone layer, resulting in enhanced ultraviolet radiation. So, to some extent, the love of beauty has also contributed to global warming. Mr Li's report actually encourages people to live a low carbon life. If women use less cosmetics, they can reduce greenhouse gases and contribute to protecting the environment. So, what is low carbon life? Talking about carbon footprint Low carbon life originates from carbon footprint, which represents a person or a group of carbon consumption, is the impact on the environment emission measurement of certain countries and regions of the population caused by the daily energy consumption of carbon dioxide as an indicator of. Whether individuals or groups of carbon footprint can be divided into first and second carbon footprint and carbon footprint. The first carbon footprint is due to the use of fossil energy and direct emissions of carbon dioxide, the first carbon footprint as a regular flight would be more, because the aircraft flight will consume large amounts of fuel, emit large amounts of carbon dioxide. The carbon footprint is due to the use of various products and the indirect emissions of carbon dioxide, such as the production of a bottle of ordinary bottled water, will be due to production and transportation in the process of its carbon emissions and the carbon footprint. There will be a female consumer cosmetics in addition to freon emissions increase greenhouse gas, but also because the cosmetics packaging and transportation increased second carbon footprint, thus increasing the burden on the environment, even indirect damage to the environment. Therefore, low carbon life is a way of reducing carbon footprint in daily life and work, that is, less carbon dioxide emissions in life and production. For example, to measure through a specially designed "carbon footprint calculator", you use 100 degrees, equal to about 78.5 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions; your driving consumes 100 liters of gasoline, it is equal to 270 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions. The bigger the carbon footprint, the higher your carbon life, the greater the responsibility you have for global warming. The smaller the carbon footprint, the greater your contribution to the low carbon life and the greater contribution to environmental protection. Of course, the low carbon life of human beings is not only embodied in personal life, but also embodied everywhere, especially human production activities. Human activity is the main cause of global warming, which has been confirmed in the fourth assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on climate change (IPCC). It can be said that all human activities directly and indirectly accelerate global warming, but we do not care about it. So the so-called "low carbon life" also includes reducing all greenhouse gases caused by human activities, not just carbon dioxide. Greenhouse gas refers to easily absorb infrared gas in the atmosphere, including water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, Nitrous Oxide, Freon or chlorine fluorine hydrocarbon compounds. The basic necessities of human life are the creation and manufacture of greenhouse gases, such as industrial production and the use of fossil fuels. Even the food we eat is one of the important sources of greenhouse gases. Gas emission in agricultural production is the second most important source of global greenhouse gas emissions. The emissions are between electric heating and exhaust gas. China is a big producer of rice, and the greenhouse gases produced by rice production may not be known. During the growth period of rice, and rice plants will release a lot of Nitrous Oxide, the greenhouse effect is equivalent to 296 kg per kg in the amount of carbon dioxide. Global agricultural production in the Nitrous Oxide Nitrous Oxide global emissions accounted for 84% of the total emissions. Although the crop production and use of fossil fuels emissions of greenhouse gases will endanger the environment, but we may not Yinyefeishi, only from other areas to be improved. For example, in our country the nitrogen use efficiency of rice planting, Nitrous Oxide can not only reduce the emission damage to the environment, but also save resources and funds. Similarly, the development and use of bio fuels can also save resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Low carbon options for personal life Personally, everyone can start with himself, start with the details of life, and contribute to the reduction of global warming. For example, fewer cars, fewer meat meals, less disposable chopsticks, less incandescent lights, less lights, etc. are all contributing to slowing global warming. Specific to cosmetics, there are two ways. First, like the refrigerator production prohibited freon, like looking for cosmetics raw material alternatives, reduce or replace the freon in cosmetics. Secondly, whether male or female, reduce the use of cosmetics, like every month at least once a car, in the not too important or informal occasions, there is no need to makeup, makeup might be better. There are many ways in which individuals can do their best to reduce their carbon footprint. For example, reduce unnecessary household appliances consumption; travel more by bus; buy local products when you buy goods; and even choose a cooking method to reduce carbon footprint when eating meals. In potatoes, for example, baking potatoes in an oven produces more carbon dioxide than cooking, and cooking produces more carbon dioxide than a microwave oven does. So using microwave as a potato is a better low-carbon life. Even eating beef is much more carbon than pork, so beef should be reduced. In addition, cotton clothing and chemical fiber clothes, climbing stairs and elevators, walking and driving, etc., are the former low-carbon life, the latter is a high carbon life. The production of synthetic fabrics requires more oil and energy, and more carbon dioxide emissions, so cotton clothes should be chosen. Personal low carbon life, as well as the following simple calculation and choice. In household electricity consumption, according to the average value of carbon emissions during the power generation process, carbon dioxide emissions (Qian Ke) = power consumption * 0.785. Thus, the individual carbon emission can be calculated and the electricity consumption can be saved. Of course, the use of wind power or hydropower and other clean sources of carbon emissions will be lower than the use of thermoelectric. In traffic travel, it is necessary to change the distance to fuel consumption according to the fuel consumption of the vehicle, in order to calculate carbon emissions, small emission vehicles at the same distance, less carbon emissions. Carbon dioxide emissions (Qian Ke) = fuel consumption liters * 2.7. From this formula, whether it is the government management or manufacturers, or personal consumption, should vigorously promote small displacement energy-saving environmental protection vehicles. As for household tap water, the production of 1 tons of tap water consumes 0.67 to 1.15 degrees of electrical energy. According to the average value of the power consumption, emissions of carbon dioxide (Qian Ke) = x 0.91 tons of tap water use. Therefore, saving water is also a low-carbon life. High carbon life should be compensated Although low carbon life is worth promoting, people will enter high carbon life from time to time due to work needs or other reasons. At this point, you should compensate for your high carbon life. This compensation is what is called carbon neutrality. Carbon neutral means that people can calculate their daily activities (production) of carbon dioxide emissions, direct or indirect manufacturing if too high, you can by planting trees and other ways to absorb these emissions, or to offset the carbon dioxide required for the calculation of the economic cost, then personal payment to the specialized enterprises or institutions, by them through the amount of carbon dioxide in the corresponding trees or other environmental protection projects to offset the atmosphere, in order to achieve the purpose of reducing the greenhouse effect. Therefore, carbon neutrality is the compensation for people's own high carbon life. It is the introspection, self-discipline and conscious remedial action that people reflect on the reality of the warming of the earth. For example, if a family of three uses 3000 kwh of electricity a year and emits 2.36 tons of carbon dioxide, then 22 trees are needed to offset it. Of course, the compensation for planting trees can be done by the whole family themselves, or by payment to the garden institution, and ask them to help grow it. Of course, this is only a conscious act, not mandatory. If you have to travel by air in your life, you can calculate how much carbon emissions you will travel at a time, and then consider compensating for later life. For example, online travel service Ctrip launched the carbon neutral service, is the reservation in the customer, according to the website to inform passengers of flight mileage carbon dioxide emissions generated, and the corresponding compensation matters, such as planting etc.. Of course, high carbon life in addition to personal compensation, compensation effect from the largest enterprises, which requires enterprises in addition to carbon emissions restrictions, but also for the improvement of products in the production of carbon emissions without high carbon emissions after compensation. Now, many companies in the world are already acting. As mentioned above, the high carbon dioxide emissions of cosmetics are not only embodied in freon, but also reflected in the packaging of cosmetics. In view of this, Shiseido, Japan developed a multilayer structure of plastic materials made of polylactic acid and polyethylene, to achieve good heat resistance, impact resistance and moisture resistance, good environmental protection packaging. According to calculations, using this environmentally friendly packaging can reduce carbon emissions by 20%. Therefore, human's low-carbon life can be everywhere.
