题目：An activity about low carbon living

正文：Currently,my school is launching an activity whose theme is that actions change the world to advocate the low carbon living.

In the activity,we are required to go to school or some other place by bike or by foot as much as possible instead of by bus.And when the Christmas comes,sending e-greeting cards instead of tridional cards of which are made of wood as we know.Besides,we should use both sides of every piece of paper and we should save water as well as electricity.

I believe that only we do thus can we have a better living environment.

相关信息如下，可适当增加：

我们中的每个人都应该对自己日常生活活动和选择所产生的温室气体负责。因此，防止气候变化需要地球上的每个人共同来努力。 EACH and every one of us is responsible for the greenhouse gases we emit in our daily actions and choices. Therefore, combating climate change is going to take the combined efforts of everyone on the planet.

在中国，平均每户每年的碳排放量是2.41吨二氧化碳。足够填充半个奥运游泳池了。 The average household carbon footprint in China is 2.41 tons of carbon dioxide annually. That's enough to fill half an Olympic swimming pool.

看到这个数字觉得吃惊么？下面，我们来看看怎样减少碳排放量。 Surprised? Well, here's how you can work to reduce it:

1. 开始计算你自己的碳排放量。这个数据是你的起点，从这里开始你可以监控自己的进展。接下来，你可以记录一些细节，例如：你所居住的公寓的情况，你的个人能源消费及旅游习惯。 1.Get started by calculating your own carbon footprint. This will give you a starting point from which to begin monitoring your progress. You enter details such as what sort of apartment you live in, your personal energy use and travel habits.

2. 每周有一天吃素。由于烹饪肉类耗时较长，所以耗能更多。此外，动物打嗝、放屁时会产生另一种危险的温室气体--甲烷。 2. Each week, choose one day when you don't eat meat. Meat uses up lots of energy because it takes a long time to produce. Animals produce methane, which is another dangerous greenhouse gas, when they burp and fart.

3. 只买适量的食物，如有剩饭要富有创新精神。例如：将剩菜做成汤。在餐厅吃饭，如有剩饭一定要打包。但是，切记要适用自己的饭盒，避免用一次性饭盒。 3. Only buy the amount of food you need and if there are leftovers, get creative. For instance, make them into a soup. Ask to take food home from restaurants if there's some left, but remember to take your own container to avoid using a disposable carton.
