目前，我们的地球母亲正在“发烧”——地球变暖。而导致这次地球母亲染上这“病”的罪魁祸首就是巨大的碳排放量。不过，要治“病”也不是没有办法的。如今，低碳时代已经如约而至，正在改变着我们的生活。
其实，低碳就在我们的身边。比如：夏天，我们用空调不要用太长时间，几个小时后就关上空调，再开电风扇，这样可以省50%的电;在冰箱内放食物时，食物量最好占容积的80%，用袋子装上水制冷后放入冷藏，这样，既能延长停机时间，也能减少开机时间，更省电;经过手工DIY的再创造，你会发现原来废物也是宝，这样的家居环境健康且充满了创意的小欢乐。
平时勤动手，勤动脑，也可以实现低碳生活。平时喝茶剩下的茶叶积攒起来，可以做一个茶叶枕头;用短的铅笔，做一个笔套，套在上面，可以接着用;用肥皂剩下的小肥皂，日积月累，也能成一个肥皂。
另外，平时出行尽量步行，多骑自行车，多乘坐公交车和地铁，少开私家车;少用一次性的东西;开电脑或是电视的时间都不要太长，大约几小时就关掉。

随着人类经济的发展，垃圾也越来越多，人类处理垃圾的方式也就只有几种，要么就是填埋，要么就是焚烧，所以导致中国人的生存环境越来越差。
“小伙子，你要把垃圾分类啊!”“老头儿，关你啥事?”“如果你这样的话会污染环境的啊!”张大爷竭力地解释，小伙子听了后终于知道了垃圾分类的重要。
以前，我总是希望下面的垃圾车快点送走，免得下面有一股臭哄哄的味道。今天听了张大爷的教导，让我对垃圾重新有了一番新的认识。我们人类每天都在产生垃圾，但是，我们人类的垃圾扔出来后去哪了呢?先是工人们把垃圾送到垃圾场，然后再填埋在地下，填埋垃圾的费用高昂，大概是每吨450元至600元，这些钱足够让贫困山区的小朋友支撑半年了。再者，如果持续填埋在地下，还会占大量地方，同时会把蚊子引过来。
大家经常会看到公园里有四个垃圾桶，分别是：可回收垃圾、不可回收垃圾、有害垃圾和其它垃圾。可回收垃圾是蓝色的，不可回收垃圾是绿色的，有害垃圾是红色的，其它垃圾是灰色的。
垃圾分类看似是一个简单的工程，但是如果你不注意的话就不是一个简单的工程。但如果你天天要做到那更是一个复杂的工程。正是因为有了它，少年才能学习到它，有了它，这个城市就会变得美丽，有了它，甚至整个国家都会变美丽。
