纸质购物袋优于塑料袋?
塑料袋会变成垃圾,被野生动物误食后会对其造成伤害。塑料需要数百年才能降解,而纸的降解时间要短得多,因此人们认为纸袋是更为环保的选择。
然而,生产纸袋的耗能为塑料袋的四倍,耗水则多达三倍。其生产过程也会产生更多的温室气体。
事实上,这两种袋子都不够环保,所以出门购物时请带一个能重复利用的袋子。
What else can be reused in our daily life?
shopping bag
thermos
reusable bottles
meal box
消除,破除(障碍/偏见);(机器)出故障;(情绪)垮掉,崩溃;(使)分解
Paper shopping bags are better than plastic ones.
2Plastic bags cause litter and are a danger to wild animals, which mistake them for food. It takes hundreds of years for plastic to break down, but much less time for paper. Because of this, people think paper bags are the better environmental choice.

pay:强调支付金钱的动作,常用于购买商品或服务时付款,常用结构为“sb.pay+金钱+ for sth.”。
3However, making a paper bag uses four times as much energy as making a plastic bag and up to three times the amount of water. The process also produces more greenhouse gases.

关掉的电器不耗电?
当我们关掉电视等电器时,它会进入待机状态。这种状态下的电器仍然耗电,而且越旧的电器耗电越多。这是因为电器即使已经被“关掉”了,却依然有电流从电器中流失。为确保电器设备彻底关闭,请从电源上拔下电器插头。
What can you learn from this “green truth”?
What else can we do to save energy (electricity or water)?
We need to remove our cellphone chargers from the power supply, and also unplug other home appliances, such as washing machine, television, reading lamp and so on.
When you turn off a device, it stops using power.
5When we turn off a device, such as television, it goes into standby mode. Devices in this mode still use power, and older devices in standby mode can use even more. This happens because electricity continues to leak from the device, even when it is turned “off”. To make sure your appliance is in fact off, remove the plug from its power supply.

吃本地食物更利于环保?
这似乎已是人们常识性的认识:吃本地产的食物更环保,因为不需要长途低温运输。然而事实并没有那么简单。相比于运输,食物的生产过程才是消耗大部分能源及产生大部分温室气体的原因。在有些情况下,即使将运输的因素考虑在内,本地的农产品也可能比距离遥远的外地种植的农产品耗能更多,产生的温室气体也更多。
Eating local food is good for the environment.
6It seems like common sense: eating local food should be better for the environment, because it does not need to be transported long distances and kept cold during transport. Unfortunately, it is not that simple. It is the production of food, not its transport, that uses most of the energy and produces most of the greenhouse gases.

It's better to take a shower than a bath.
7It depends on (how long you spend in the shower and how large your bath is). If you spend more than eight minutes in a shower, you’ll use as much water as in a bath—about 50 litres of water. Therefore, the key is to keep your shower time as short as possible.

Dear fellow students,
I’m Li Hua, the president of the Student Union. Our school is launching a “Low-carbon Life Week” activity, which aims to reduce waste and protect our environment.
Here are some suggestions. First, save water and electricity. Don’t leave the tap running or forget to turn off lights or fans when we leave. Second, reduce the use of disposable items, such as disposable chopsticks or gloves, plastic water bottles, etc. Third, exchange second-hand items like fridges, washing machines to make good use of things we no longer need.
Let’s actively participate in this activity. Every small step can pave the way for a greener campus.
