Use old newspapers to make clothes; use garbage bags and express box cardboard to make a hat; use melon seed shells, hard cardboard, and twist sticks to make hand-made toys... Students from Fengzhen No. 1 Primary School in Hongkou District, Shanghai, are excited to show their works.

Promote and carry forward the concept of "zero waste", improve the system and mechanism for the construction of "zero waste cities", and accelerate the green and low-carbon transformation of cities... Cities are the center of human social and economic activities and the main body of energy consumption. In recent years, various regions have accelerated the construction of "zero waste cities" and green cities, promoted the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development, and made the beautiful ecological environment a growth point for people's happy life.

The "Opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on Comprehensively Promoting the Construction of a Beautiful China" proposed to build beautiful cities. Improve the level of urban planning, construction, and governance, implement urban renewal actions, and strengthen inter-city and urban and rural ecological co-protection and environmental co-governance.

Industry insiders said that urban renewal should adhere to the concept of green development, combine urban renewal with green city construction, unify the green renewal of the urban material environment with the green reconstruction of the urban social soft environment, and realize a functionally complex, healthy and livable, safe and resilient urban renewal model.

--From single buildings to the entire region, urban energy consumption is constantly "reduced". On Guangyang Island in Nan'an District, Chongqing, there is an ecological earth-covered exhibition building that blends in with the green waters and green mountains-the Great River Civilization Museum. Even if the lights are not turned on, the room is still very bright; there is no need to turn on the air conditioner, and it still feels very cool.

Lai Xin, a planning and construction expert from the Chongqing Green Building and Energy Saving Expert Database, introduced that while adapting to climate characteristics and site conditions, the design minimizes the demand for building heating, air conditioning, and lighting. At the same time, the efficiency of energy equipment and systems is improved, and renewable energy is fully utilized to provide a comfortable indoor environment with minimal energy consumption.

The lower the energy consumption of a building, the less carbon emissions it emits. Buildings that can save energy and reduce consumption are not isolated cases. Data show that the proportion of newly built green buildings in towns and cities accounts for more than 90% of newly built buildings.

Promoting green buildings is one of the important ways to reduce building energy consumption. In recent years, various regions have continuously promoted the expansion of green buildings from single buildings to the entire region. In January this year, Beijing Yizhuang was selected into the first batch of pilot cities and industrial parks for coordinated innovation in pollution reduction and carbon reduction by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment. By strengthening technology research and development, strengthening infrastructure synergy and efficiency, promoting ecological governance and expanding capacity and increasing carbon sinks, we strive to form a work pattern of coordinated promotion of pollution reduction and carbon reduction.

--From production lines to industrial parks, urban green industries are constantly upgrading. In the first "zero-carbon factory" in Jinhua Development Zone, Zhejiang Province, a series of automated production lines are constantly running, and staff wearing white work clothes are monitoring and maintaining between bright metal pipes.

"Our carbon emissions from the entire production process from raw material production to waste treatment are zero." The relevant person in charge of the company introduced that "by the end of 2022, the photovoltaic power generation project will be completed, and the electricity will be self-generated and self-used, and the surplus electricity will be connected to the grid."

The more "green" points in the industrial park, the more "gold content" the economic development will have. The "Action Plan for Carbon Peaking Before 2030" issued by the State Council proposes to build a number of energy-saving and low-carbon parks that meet international advanced levels and promote energy-saving and carbon-reduction transformation in industries such as electricity, steel, petrochemicals and chemicals.

At present, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment is steadily promoting the pilot work of coordinated innovation in pollution reduction and carbon reduction in cities and industrial parks, and has selected and formed the first batch of pilot lists of cities and industrial parks, and continues to promote the solid implementation of the pilot work of coordinated innovation in pollution reduction and carbon reduction.

--From fashion to habit, low-carbon life continues to become a daily routine. At the Party and Mass Service Center of Dongfang Community, Qishuyan Street, Economic Development Zone, Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, resident Liu Qiong's public welfare lecture on promoting the production method of environmentally friendly enzymes was held again, attracting many neighbors to participate.

"Kitchen waste is the main source of household waste. If properly handled, it can turn waste into treasure and reduce the amount of waste." Liu Qiong encouraged everyone to try it actively. "Pour brown sugar, orange peel and water into a plastic bottle and stir it. Tighten the bottle cap. After 3 months, the filtered juice is environmentally friendly enzymes and can be used as a detergent."

From promoting green and low-carbon practices such as saving food, water, electricity, and green travel; to setting up "China Low Carbon Day" and "Energy Conservation Promotion Week", and issuing a green and low-carbon life initiative; to promoting low-carbon energy conservation and integrating ecological and environmental protection into daily life... In recent years, various places have taken green and low-carbon as the orientation, widely carried out green living actions, and the concept of green and low-carbon has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Industry insiders said that at present, China is actively promoting the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development, and green consumption and green lifestyles are becoming a new fashion. Promoting green and low-carbon development requires the joint participation and support of the whole society. We should continuously enhance environmental awareness, advocate green lifestyles and consumption patterns, and promote all sectors of society to participate in green and low-carbon development.
