How to live a low-carbon life
In the end of November, China announced to cut greenhouse gas emiions.Last Monday, the United Nations Climate Change Summit 2009 opened in Copenhagen.All of a sudden, terms such as “energy conservation”, “emiion reduction” and “low-carbon life” become popular among common people.In Suzhou, some young people have joined the low-carbon campaign.Xia Haijiang works at Gold Huasheng Paper Co., Ltd.in SIP, in charge of sewage control and recycling every day.Traditional paper production is a high pollution industry, but Xia Haijiang and his colleagues are able to turn sewage into pure and clean water, which can be used for fish raising, watering and even drinking.In line with his profeion, Xia Haijiang's daily life has a lot of low-carbon imprints.Monthly electricity bill: a bit over 40 yuan
Xia Haijiang has a good habit of saving electricity.Air-conditioners are
installed at his home but he seldom puts them in use.He adds extra beddings to beat the coldne in winter and never turns on air-conditioners until it gets unbearably hot in summer.Even when the air-conditioner is on, he always keeps the temperature below 20 degrees Celsius in winter and above 26 degrees in summer.In winter, while watching TV in bed, many people hit the pause button on the remote control before going to sleep.Xia says in this way the TV continues to use energy, but he also finds it a great inconvenience to leave the warm bed in order to shut down the TV.One day, he was inspired by the switch installed near the night stands
in hotels.When he furnished his home, he had a similar gadget installed near his bed, which can cut off all the electricity except the power supply for lights and the fridge.
