关于环境污染治理的英语作文【精选20篇】

velopment and the Environment

It is undeniable that the worsening environment has become the biggest concern of the present-day world. Land resources are dwindling because of water loss and soil erosion. Waste gases poison the air we breathe. The rivers and lakes are polluted by waste dumped in them from factories. It is probably no exaggeration to say that deterioration of the quality of the environment threatens the existence of mankind itself.

Some people are of the opinion that the environmental problem is the price we have to pay for economic development. But I do not think that this argument is valid. After all, what is the point of economic growth if peoples lives are adversely alfected by worsening environmental pollution?

There is plenty of evidence to show that sustainable development can be achieved by balancing economic growth with protection of the environment. The key to achieving this is to make people aware of the seriousness of the problem. Both governments and ordinary citizens should join hands to make this world a better place to live in, not only for ourselves, but also for future generations.

我们小组为了完成老师步置的任务：环境保护与垃圾污染。认真地去社会中去调查。调查完了后的我们深受感触。垃圾满天飞，到处都成了垃圾堆放处;美丽的滇池已是塑料袋游玩的地方;慈祥的母亲河盘龙江正在被垃圾恶魔折磨着。

我到我居住的小区里观察。大部份人都很讲卫生。但有一些小朋友为了图方便，把垃圾乱丢在地。我见了便去告诉他们不要乱丢垃圾。有一次，我见一些小朋友乱丢垃圾便跑过去着急地说：“别乱丢垃圾，要不然空气会不新鲜。”他们听了便认真地点了点头，然后就飞快地跑到旁边的垃圾桶前把垃圾丢了进去。然后朝我笑了笑，说了声：“谢谢!”就开始玩躲躲猫了。我看了很高兴，因为只要提醒乱丢垃圾的人，他们会很自觉地改过来，这对环境保护很有利。

但有几次事使我对这个观点产生怀疑。

有一次，我在去作文班时，看见一个阿姨把吃玩的糕点袋子随手一扔，后面刚好有一个清洁人员，他看见了默默地把袋子扫进垃圾铲。等清洁人员走了，我跑上前对那个阿姨耐心地说：“阿姨你刚刚丢垃圾是不对的，而且你后面是一个清洁人员，你应该把……”那个阿姨不但没有认错，而且还不耐烦地说：“应该什么?你乱说什么，后面的清洁人员扫垃圾是他的工作，我乱丢垃圾根本没错。

旁边的三个人还理直气壮地说：“对的，对的。”我生气地看了他们一眼，快速地上了车。

后来我看见电视上也看见好多广告也都在极力让人们保护环境，确定了答案。自信地把调查表交给了班主任。

How to develop low-carbon economy

There have been many environmental protection problems in recent years . One of the most serious problem is greenhouse gas emissions have caused climate change ,At the same time ,lots of trees have been used and wasted.So our earth is becoming warmer and warmer . .That brings us illnesses and death.

Luckily ，,many countries have done a lot to stop environmental pollution。Its the most important in the environmental protection today.

In my opinion ,on the one hand ,through education we should make people realize that destroying the environment means destroying ourselves,..On the other hand ,we should try to do something to produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions.

In a word .we must develop low-carbon economy....................

怎样发展低碳经济

现在这些年已经有很多关于保护环境的问题。其中最严重的一个问题就是温室气体排放已经造成了气候改变。同时，很多树木被砍伐掉了，而且大量别的资源已经被用完或者浪费。所以我们的地球变得越来越温暖(热)。这样带给我们的是疾病和死亡。。

幸运的是，很多国家已经采取了很多措施来控制环境污染问题。如今，这是最重要保护环境的措施。

我认为，一方面，虽然教育我们应该让人们意识到破坏环境就是伤害人类自己。另一方面，我们应该尽力做一些事情来控制温室气体增长。

总之，我们必须发展低碳经济。。。

电池是在生活中用得最广泛的商品之一，计算器、手表、电动玩具、电话、复读机......非常多的商品都离不开电池。可是电池用完了，就到处乱扔，造成了很大的危害。

在班上，有一半的同学都说乱扔废旧电池没有危害。

我在《十万个为什么》这本书上查到，《废旧电池为什么会致人死亡？》它的内容大概是：一年冬天，日本发现了有十几个病人：手颤，双腿僵硬，迈不开步，一会儿哭，一会儿笑。后来，两人死亡，一人投河自杀。经尸体解剖证实，不是细菌脑炎，而是与摄入了过量的金属锰有关。是因为，水井里埋过300多个回收电池，问题就出在这废旧电池上面。废电池埋在土里，外壳腐烂后，里面的锰外露，遇到氧一化碳时，转化成了水溶性的重碳酸盐，重碳酸盐随着地下水渗如井里，造成了饮用者锰中毒。

可是，我给一些说没危害的同学看了这篇资料后，他们依然说乱扔废旧电池没有危害。但我认为危害很大，因为从这篇资料上就可以看出乱扔废旧电池会导致一些人的死亡。

这告诫人们：废旧电池千万不能随便乱丢，要很好地集中处理。

My station in university campus inch territory, breathes and feels a here freshness. The university life like this started. The life four years time already the picture got down certainly has run the line, you along this path endless long journey, the university time will say regarding me will be fresh, the biography first time was far away the hometown, trod studies the road.

我们的环境污染我们的环境污染我们现在的生活比以前好得多，但环境跟以前简直就不能比。以前的空气清香并掺和着花草的芳香，河水清澈见底......

而现在呢?汽车排出的废气和工业废气相当多，河水臭气直出......我们大家为了过上好生活，都买汽车，但车主们有没有想过这样的量使用汽车的后果。有些地方之间的距离非常近，但车主们不想跑，就直接开汽车。假如一辆汽车一天排放一千克废气，那么中国每天大约有几千万辆汽车在行驶，那么一天就要排放几千万千克的废气。这个数目仅显示一天一千克的废气排放量和仅计算中国的废气排放情况。工厂的污染更严重，水和空气都要被污染。大量的废水排入大海和河流之中，以致大量的鱼虾、水中植物死亡和大量的水资源被污染......

我们地球上的资源也在一天一天的减少。大量可回收的品中只有3%是被回收并再生的。许多白色垃圾造成了白色污染。我心中的家园是和以前差不多的，可是这是很难挽回的。为了我么大家共同生活了几千万年的蓝色星球?——地球的美好未来而努力吧!

我是一条鱼，我每天都在水里游来游去，可快活了呢。直到有一天……

我遇到了人类，不，准确地说，应该是可恶的人类。如果我有手，我早就把人打成“照片”了。人们往水里扔垃圾，几乎每天都做，不，是无时无刻不在扔。有一次，我在水里游来游去。突然，一个庞然大物把我包围了，包得严严实实的。我好不容易才找了一个口子溜了出去，不然就要遭殃了。听别人说，那个东西叫作“塑料袋”，真是令人恐慌。

人们还非常凶残，喜欢用一个长长的“钩子”钓我们。我的好几个兄弟姐妹都被抓走了，现在只有我和妈妈相依为命了。这天，我出去玩，留下妈妈在家里。大约20分钟后，我回到了家，发现母亲不见了，可把我急坏了，急急忙忙到处去寻找她。我游啊游，不知过了多久，突然，我的眼前蹦出了一个熟悉的东西，哇！那不就是我最爱的“蚯蚓宝贝”嘛，我实在太饿了，想也不想地扑上去。刚进嘴，糟糕！我的嘴里立刻吐出一股鲜血，一定被可恶的“钩子”逮住了。我拼命地挣扎，不停地扭动身子，想摆脱这个怪物，此刻，我无比想念我的妈妈……不，不！我不能放弃，于是，我卯足了劲儿，一蹬一拽，“钩子”终于从我的嘴里滑了出来，来不及感受疼痛，我便一股脑儿钻进大海深处，着急忙慌地找了隐蔽的地方躲了起来。

真是有惊无险，我要赶紧寻找母亲去。

We live earth is deteriorating rapidly, did we have to pay attention to their own living environment cause harm to nature, you must not throw sundry, especially those serious pollution of garbage, waste batteries, for example, because the section waste batteries contain heavy metals, if flow to clean the water, it is very much pollution, then try to save trees made items such as paper, pencils, because waste these things is the destruction of the forest. Also try to use less disposable lunch box, chopsticks and plastic bags and other items, so as to avoid unnecessary waste and reduce waste.

There are some tips: walking to closing the master switch, in order to avoid electrical appliances overheating explosion, a waste of money and waste of electricity, save water, to shut the tap when brushing your teeth, wash dish water to rice, rice water to water the flowers, wash water can sweep the floor, so we can reduce some waste. 12 dont hunt wild animals, animal protection is absolutely cant kill, but dont kill the common animals such as frogs, because frogs eat 15000 bugs for us, and most are pests. Some people often dont think that is, the stubborn still, so we should try to eat less wild animals, lead to wild animals, the drop in sales no longer killing of wild animals.

Our forest is called oxygen plant, so to take good care of flowers and plants, not to destroy the city greening, and actively participate in. But also to cut down trees less, dont waste wood items, because waste these things is to destroy the forest, so be used sparingly, to protect the forests of less and less.

Use energy-saving lamps to replace the ordinary light bulb, although some expensive but can use less electricity. I appeal to you: in our daily actions to protect earths environment, let our children and grandchildren live in a beautiful environment!

我们生活的地球正在迅速恶化，我们不得不注意一下自己的生活环境有没有对大自然造成危害，大家必须必须别乱丢杂物，特别是那些污染严重的垃圾，比如废电池，因为一节废电池中所含的重金属，如果流到清洁的水中，它造成的污染是非常厉害的，其次要尽量节约纸张、铅笔等树木造的物品，因为浪费了这些东西就是毁灭森林。还要尽量少用一次性饭盒、筷子和塑料袋等物品，以免造成不必要的浪费和减少垃圾的产生。

还有一些小建议：走时要随手关总开关，以免电器过热爆炸，浪费钱又浪费电，要节约用水，刷牙时要关紧水龙头，洗菜水可以淘米，淘米水可以浇花，洗衣水可以拖地，如此就可以减少一些浪费了。不要随意捕杀野生动物，一二级保护动物是绝对不能杀的，但也别捕杀青蛙等常见动物，因为青蛙为我们吃掉1.5万的虫子，而且大部分是害虫。有些人经常不以为是，依旧我行我素，所以我们要尽量少吃野生动物，导致他们野生动物销售额下降，不再捕杀野生动物。

我们的森林被称之是氧气加工厂，所以要爱护花草植物，不要破坏城市绿化，还要积极参与。而且还要少砍伐树木，别浪费木质的物品，因为浪费了这些东西就等于毁灭了森林，所以要少用，来保护越来越少的森林。

用节能灯炮来代替普通灯泡，虽然有些贵但是可以相对的少用一些电的。我呼吁大家：用我们的日常行动来保护地球的环境，让我们的子子孙孙生活在一个美好的环境中!

Create a green campus

With the development of scientific conductions, our daily life is becoming more and more convenient. But everything has both its good and bad sides, pollution has become a hot topic while the science’s building up. So the word “green” has been paid great attention among us .So do our campus.

Creating a green campus is very important to build up a wonderful atmosphere. ”Green campus ” does not only means green environment, but also means positive study atmosphere, good personal qualities and refer to that the students should be educated and have an environmental sense in their mind. What’s more, what I want to stress is that it sets goals toward the future of the world.

To bring “green campus” to its full play, effective measures should be taken. First, learning is the most important thing, which can

strength our personal qualities. Second, we should take care our daily actions about manners and pick up waste papers here and there as we can do. Third , when you make mistakes or someone help you, you should say “sorry” or “thank you” to people with your sweet smile…

Green campus make us live in a soft and warm environment. So we ought to do our best to build green campus.

As we all know, a better result of study can be brought by a better study environment. As a result, it is necessary for us to build the green campus. The green campus can not only provide a good environment for our study, but also be a part of build the harmonious society.

The green campus is not only the environmental being green, but also the sprite being green, which means we should do other things like helping each other or caring each other. Therefore, we should both beautify the campus environment and create a campus culture.

As students, we enjoy the campus time while we have responsibility to build our green campus. In spiritual term, we

should respect teachers, classmates and other people work for the school. In environmental term, we should have good habits to keep campus in a clean surrounding.

Cherish resources, protecting the environment, only a few words, this is very important, for example, we go out to play, etc. The words will be held.

Earths resources are limited, could have uninterrupted growth, but because of the excessive development of people, these resources can hardly continue to regeneration. Water is indispensable to mankind, it gave birth to all life, he is our mother, but water has always been some dont know to cherish, will only waste, wasted a lot of water on earth, but only very little for us to drink the water, the other is the water of the sea, so we should protect water resources. Biological resources is very important also, he can let us survive, so we cant destroy any creature in the food chain, if damaged, will be big disaster, there are always some damn poachers, the capture of wild animals, such as elephants, rhinos, etc., so we need to protect any type of resource, let him not be damaged.

Protect the environment, cherish resources, from small start.

珍惜资源，保护环境，这单单几个字，却非常重要，比如我们出去玩等地方都会有这几个字。

地球上的资源是有限的，本来可以不间断的生长，可是由于人们的过度开发，这些资源都没法继续再生了。水资源是人类不可缺少的东西，它孕育了一切生命，他就是我们的母亲，可是水资源总是被一些不懂得珍惜，只会浪费的人浪费了，地球上的水很多，但只供我们饮用的水很少，其他的都是海水，所以我们要保护水资源。生物资源也很重要，他可以让我们生存下去，所以我们不能破坏食物链中的任何生物，如果破坏了，将发生大灾难，总有一些可恶的偷猎者，在捕捉野生动物，如大象，犀牛等，所以我们要保护任何资源，不让他被破坏。

保护环境，珍惜资源，从小事做起。

现在的天气越来越糟了，那都是人们把环境污染了。

几乎每天都是阴沉沉的，很少看见蓝蓝的天空和明媚的阳光，即使是倾盆大雨过后，都很难见到蓝蓝的天空上面挂着五颜六色的彩虹。那是因为雾霾天气，它是指是指大气相对湿度介于80-90%之间时的大气混浊视野模糊，这种情况的大气能见度低是霾和雾的混合物共同造成的。除了气象条件，工业生产、机动车尾气排放、冬季取暖烧煤等导致的大气中颗粒物(包括粗颗粒物PM10和细颗粒物PM2。5)浓度增加，是雾霾产生的重要因素。如今很多城市的污染物排放水平已处于临界点，对气象条件非常敏感，空气质量在扩散条件较好时能达标，一旦遭遇不利天气条件，空气质量和能见度就会迅速下滑。

我讨厌雾霾天气，这让我感觉到生活在不健康的环境中，我希望我们可以生活在蓝天白云下面，所以我有以下建议来减少环境污染：1。工厂冒出来的废气要经过过滤。2。大家尽量要绿色出行，少开车多走路多骑车。3。不要乱扔垃圾，做好垃圾分类，做好废物回收利用。

只要人人都献出自己的力量，从我做起，爱护我们的环境，地球会不再被污染，漂亮起来，到处都是蓝天白云鸟语花香。

Now, "environmental protection" has become a global focus. But to truly protect the environment, we must start from ourselves and start with the small things around us.

One day, I went to play in the small river in the park. A little boy wanted to throw a fresh bottle into the river. I looked at it and said, "no matter what, Im going to play. If I take care of him, I wont be able to play." But at this time, one is old man on a fishing trip saw the little boys behavior quickly held out his hand to stop a small boy, and said to the boy: "child, dont throw rubbish into the river." The little boy listened and put down the bottle and said to the old man, "whats the big deal? Besides, this is a bottle, not a garbage." The old man listened and was not angry. Smiled and said to the boy, "son, you dont understand. You dont see it as a bottle, but it will also be like other garbage pollution water. We cant drink clean water. Moreover, the trash can is over there, a few steps away." The little boy was speechless to the old man. He said "thank you" to the old man and ran to the trash can.

I listened to that thought, "thats right. When we want to throw fruit peel, tend to throw the rubbish casually into the trash can outside, and ignored. In fact, as long as you stretch out his hand, will be thrown into the trash can. Sometimes, you can throw some wrapping paper with a, then a walk it. Later, you said cant find the trash can. In fact, trash can in a few steps away." These little things can reflect a persons moral character and whether he loves the environment around him.

Protect the environment. Its all about us. Everyone has to do their part. This will make our home more colorful!

以下是为大家整理的关于以中国的环境污染为话题的初中英语作文的文章，希望大家能够喜欢！

Directions:For this part， you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic:

Pollution: An Increasing Concern in China You should write at least120 words following the outline below in Chinese.

1. 中国的污染的现状

2. 造成污染的原因

3. 解决的办法

Pollution: An Increasing Concern in China

It is reported that ten big cities in China are being ranked among the top twenty cities with the highest pollution index in the world. This means it is high time we did something to bring the situation under control.Many factors are contributing to the deteriorating situation: industrial wastes pumped into the air， the lakes and rivers; a increasing number of automobiles crowding into the streets; the widespread use of plastic bags etc.

To my view， stiffer laws and regulations must be implemented to check pollution. Industries that release wastes without permission should be heavily fined. Cars should be equipped to minimize the exhaust they release into the air. And the use of plastic bags and disposable meal boxes should be banned. What’s more， the media should play an important role in implanting a sense of environmental consciousness into people’s mind. If everybody works toward a common goal of making the environment better， we can create a cleaner and lovelier world for us and for the coming generation.

保护森林(Protecting the Forests)

Now in some places of our country, a number of people have been cutting down the trees in the forests because they need wood and more farmland. The areas of forests are getting smaller and smaller. Some scientists say that there will be no vast forests in 20 or 30 years. It is really a terrible thing. Where the forests disappear, dust storms will occur occasionally. The weather will get hot and dry. The whole earth will become a big desert. A lot of plants and animals will disappear.Crops will not grow anywhere. Life will be difficult for everyone. The human beings will be punished for their forest-destroying activities.

Therefore, we should realize the importance of taking care of our forests. We should do our best to protect our living environment and keep our mountains green,the water clean, and the sky blue.

保护森林

在我国的一些地区，由于需要木材和得到更多的耕地，许多人一直在砍伐森林中的树木，森林面积正变得越来越小。一些科学家预言二三十年后将不会再有大片的森林，这真的是一件可怕的事情。森林在哪里消失，沙尘暴就在哪里发生，天气会变得炎热而干燥，整个地球会变成一个大沙漠，大量的动植物会消失，没有地方再长庄稼，生活会变得很艰难，人类因为破坏森林的活动将受到惩罚。

因此，我们应该认识到保护森林的重要性，尽最大努力保护我们的生存环境，保持山绿、水清、天蓝。

[保护森林环境英语作文

在二十一世纪的今天，人类赖以生存的地球环境越来越恶劣，灾难频发，旱灾、洪涝灾害、土地沙漠化、地震、全球气温上升、海啸等等!

过去，以我所受到的信息宣传，简单以为环境污染只是浓烟滚滚，或者水面上漂浮着垃圾、发出恶臭，蚊虫成堆、尘土飞扬等等。但是，今年从网络、报纸、广播、电视、人们的关注里，我似乎明白;现实的情况要糟得多。西南五省大旱，就是我们自己想都没有想到的原因，专家分析：因为在过去10几年中，西南从新西兰大量引进桉树速生林，为了求短期的经济利益，毫无限制的大面积种植，以用来工业造纸，从而导致物种生态环境失衡，形成地下水严重缺失。俗话说，十年树木，百年树人，可这种桉树两三年就成材，是一种巨大的抽水机和抽肥机，不断侵蚀着其他植物物种的生存空间，而当地人却沉浸在多种树就可以保护环境的僵化错误的指导思想中，不断的在往恶性循环上发展，正是这个想到想不到的原因最终导致西南几百年的大旱灾。在报纸上，我看到温总理在一片干涸开裂的耕地上，捧着一颗枯死的禾苗，只说了一句话：“痛定思痛!”

云南拥有大片的原始森林，风景名胜众多，地理环境独特，自古以来就是一个山清水秀，气候宜人的好地方，可是为了种植这种桉树，大量砍伐原始森林，想象这些经过几十年甚至数百年才形成的树木，仅仅是为了去满足最快速度的造纸而被破坏，真是让人可惜，并且痛心。

据说旱灾的另一个原因，就是所有的大江小河都修起了水电站。对这一点我有自己的感受，早两年湘江的水面多么宽广，可是上游修了一个水电站后，下游的水明显减少，甚至连河床都经常露出来，同时影响到了城市自来水的引水工程，我都有这些感受，那些江河里小鱼虾们感受就应该更深了。

前些天报纸上又爆出地沟油事件，报纸上说地沟油是别人吃完的饭菜倒进垃圾桶后，一些黑心商人把这些进行简单的提炼加工后，不但闻不出异味，加入香精后吃起来还挺香，但是对人体危害很大，我现在都不敢随便在外面吃东西了。

环境污染的问题日益严重，影响到了我们生活的方方面面，对此我感到非常的忧虑。

清晨，街上有很多很多人在卖早餐和菜，人们买东西的时候，有很多人把垃圾扔到河里，河水被人们给污染了。

上午，卖早餐和菜的人都走了。炎炎在外面玩，突然，炎炎看见河里脏兮兮的，都不想碰了，她奇怪的说：“河里怎么那么多的垃圾?肯定是买东西的人乱扔的，真坏。”炎炎就从地上捡起一根棒子，她拿起棒子坐在草地上，把棒子放在水里，用力的把河水里的塑料袋放在草地上，把河水里的塑料袋捡完，就从家里拿一个新的大袋子，把塑料袋放到大袋子里，再把大袋子放到垃圾桶里。

小朋友们，乱扔垃圾是不对的，我们要把垃圾捡起来，扔到垃圾桶里。

It was the industrial revolution that gave birth to environmental pollution as we know it today. The emergence of great factories and consumption of immense quantities of coal and other fossil fuels gave rise to unprecedented air pollution and the large volume of industrial chemical discharges added to the growing load of untreated human waste. Chicago and Cincinnati were the first two American cities to enact laws ensuring cleaner air in 1881. Other cities followed around the country until early in the 20th century, when the short lived Office of Air Pollution was created under the Department of the Interior. Extreme smog events were experienced by the cities of Los Angeles and Donora, Pennsylvania in the late 1940s, serving as another public reminder.

近几十年来不断发展的科技使一部分人用它制造的对地球环境大大有害的没有经恰当处理过的工业废弃物的量开始以几何速度增长。

一百年前左右，这地方的工业废弃物对环境所造成的伤害还远不如现在那么严重------大部分的地方空气的API指数很低。而如今，一些大型工厂在工作时产生的很多二氧化硫与空气颗粒和汽车排放的尾气对空气也形成很大污染，会破坏大气层，导致酸雨形成，而且人吸入这种空气以后对身体也有很大影响，种种症状出现的可能性也大大地增加了。所以这类物质对整个地球实在是伤害不轻。另外，数以万斤计的相对来说对环境造成的伤害极大的垃圾如废电池、塑料袋、水银温度计、过期药品等正在被不断地成堆成堆地置于一些垃圾场，导致严重的土地污染，使那边周围树木花朵等植物无法生长，耕地也成为了不可能的事情。不仅如此，在那里工作的人们也会受到影响，导致身体状态不好。我经过一些施工地区与工厂的时候，一般都会问到一股燃烧过的橡胶产生的味道，很难闻。这也是一种有害气体。还有一些比燃烧橡胶更难闻的空气，似乎是重金属物质产生。我每逢这种情况都是快快走过，但就是这一分钟都不到的呼吸这种空气已使我感到头有点晕。而在里面工作的工人要天天不断地呼吸这种空气几个小时，这对人体伤害该有多大啊！

以上只是工业在大气层内对空气与土地形成的污染给人类带来的影响------大气层外“报废”了的卫星无规则地漂浮在地球附近会使人类发射的火箭有可能与之相撞导致损伤，使人类对外太空进行顺利的探索的难度增加。而且对于其中一部分来说，清除它们也不是一件容易之事------一些“报废”已久的卫星已碎成碎片，四处飘浮，要发射新的卫星去将它们“一网打尽”地回收很难。形成这种情况的原因是人类没有设定精密仪器来检测他们是否报废从而在他们报废的第一时间发射卫星将它们回收。

以上都是人类没有恰当地处理工业生产中所产生的衍生物。所以，读者，请恰当地处理你手中的工业产品及其衍生物。

环境与发展

不可否认的是环境恶化已成为当今世界上人们最担心的事了。因为水资源的浪费和土壤被侵蚀，土地资源逐渐缩小。我们呼吸着有毒的空气，河流和湖泊也被附近的工厂里排放出来的废弃物严重污染了。不夸大其词地说，环境质量的恶化很可能威胁人类的生存。

有些人说环境问题是我们为经济发展所付出的代价。对此，我不敢苟同。如果人类的生活被日益恶化的环境污染所影响的话，那么，经济发展的意义何在?

足够的证据表明：经济发展与环境保护的平衡可以实现可持续发展。关键是使人们意识到问题的严重性。政府和普通市民两方都应该携手使地球成为更适合人类居住的地方，这不仅是为我们自己，也是为我们的后代。

Low-carbon life means a kind of lifestyle in which people do their best to reduce energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.

Then，how can we live a lowcarbon life?Firstly，we should recognize that the lowcarbon life is not only a kind of lifestyle but also a life attitude.Each of us is responsible for the greenhouse gases in our daily actions.To combat climate change we have to take the combined efforts of everyone on the planet.Secondly，we should develop good habits in our daily life.Paper cups are made from cutting forests.We should try not to use them because trees can absorb carbon dioxide and reduce greenhouse gases.Similarly，lights should be turned off when they are not used，which will greatly reduce electricity consumption.

In a word，small actions above can make a big difference.
