Now we are facing two problems of global warming and a shortage of natural resources, both of which are getting more and more serious day by day. Thus, it is important for us to promote a low-carbon lifestyle.
如今我们面临着两大环境问题：全球变暖和自然资源匮乏，且情况日益严重。由此可见，提倡低碳生活的重要性。
Low-carbon lifestyle covers many aspect of our life like transportation, traveling, home-heating, and so on. In order to promote a low-carbon life, some plans must be carried out as follows. Firstly, don’t waste any electricity and water. Remember to turn off the lights and water taps unless we use them. Secondly, we had better take the subways or bus to work, so as to reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide. Thirdly, we should use cloth bags for shopping instead of plastic bags, and use recyclable bowls and chopsticks instead of disposable ones, for it can not only save resources, but also reduce pollution. What’s more, it is of great significance to plant more trees, since trees can balance the carbon dioxide emissions.
低碳生活方式包括了我们生活的很多方面，比如交通、旅行、室内取暖等。为了促进低碳生活，我们应该采取以下的行动。
首先，不要浪费水电。要记得随手关灯，用水完后随手关闭水龙头。其次，我们最好坐地铁或是公交车上班，这样可以减少碳排放。第三，我们购物时应该用布袋替换塑料袋；使用可循环利用的碗筷，不使用一次性用品。因为这样不仅节约资源，也减少污染。此外，大量植树也很重要，因为树木可以平衡二氧化碳排放量。
In a word, if we live a low-carbon life from now on, we will have a better environment and more resources left for our descendants.
总之，如果我们现在开始低碳生活，我们将会拥有跟美好的环境，还为我们的子孙后代节约资源。
