Come and see a day in the life of a carbon neutral expert. You can do it too!
In response to global climate change, China has pledged to strive to achieve carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. For each of us, every daily behavior will almost produce carbon emissions. How to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction, and contribute to the realization of national goals? Next, let's follow CCTV reporter to experience the day of carbon neutrality little master.
CCTV reporter Sheng Jinyu : Before going out in the morning, cut off unnecessary power to avoid energy loss caused by standby.
CCTV reporter SHENG Jinyu : If you live not too far away from the office, you can choose to walk or ride a bike to work. Although you lose a few minutes of sleep, what you gain is fresh air and scenery along the way, and of course, an increasingly healthy body.
< /p>< strong> CCTV REPORTER SHENG JinYU : You have come to our office, China Media Group Shanghai Headquarters. In our work, we need to print documents on double-sided paper, which is equivalent to saving half of the trees that would otherwise be cut down.CCTV REPORTER SHENG JinYU : Some plastic packaging of food should be avoided as much as possible, you can choose more paper packaging or recyclable glass bottle packaging. And choose local fruits and vegetables that are in season as much as possible to avoid the energy consumption caused by long-distance transportation. Choose to issue electronic invoices instead of traditional paper invoices, which can reduce carbon emissions by 5g per use. Carry a cloth bag with you instead of a plastic bag, and each time you use a plastic bag less, you can reduce carbon emissions by 12g.
CCTV Reporter Sheng Jinyu : Shanghai has been implementing garbage classification for two years, from the new fashion at that time to today's good habits, for these four categories, dry garbage, wet garbage, harmful substances and recyclables how to divide everyone has been very familiar, then we have to do every day garbage classification and low-carbon life in the end what kind of relationship?
CCTV reporter Sheng Jinyu : More valuable recyclables have been reused into the manufacturing industry; When wet and dry waste are separated, the dry waste is incinerated more efficiently, which in turn increases the power generation efficiency, while reducing waste residues and harmful gases. Treatment plants use biotechnology to break down wet waste and turn it into fertiliser or methane gas for power generation.
< /p>< /strong> CCTV reporter Sheng Jinyu : Many people may ask, are these trivial things enough to change our climate? The answer is yes, for example, people who drink coffee every day. If we don't use one disposable paper cup a day, that's 365 cups a year. These small changes add up to a big step towards a sustainable future, and low-carbon will become a responsible way of life.
