Promoting Low-carbon Lifestyle in My Family |
|
|
Due to the global warming, my family decided to promote a low-carbon lifestyle
plan at the third democratic congress to do our part. My dad listed the top ten
wasteful behaviors in our household, and I was always ranked first for leaving
the lights on.
In response to the "low-carbon" call, I have become someone who turns off the
lights as soon as I see them on. Sometimes, when I see lights on in the
stairwell, I immediately turn them off regardless of whether someone is using
them or not. I remember one time when I finished taking a shower and saw a light
on in a room, I didn't hesitate to turn it off. Immediately, someone in the room
asked, "Hey? Did the power go out?" Seeing my dad's reaction at the time, I
couldn't stop laughing. Since then, every time I turn off the lights, I first
observe to see if anyone is using them. Otherwise, I fear that I might end up
pranking someone.
My mom also has a funny habit. When cooking at night, she doesn't turn on the
lights, and instead, she uses her phone as a flashlight. So, I stand by the
stove, holding my phone high, shining it into the pot. As a result, the food
either gets burnt or doesn't cook properly, making it difficult to swallow and
wasting food. Alas, we can only say that we lack experience. However, using the
phone as a flashlight seems to be a method that I came up with...
Overall, my dad is the best at adopting a low-carbon lifestyle, and he is our
teacher. Dad casually turns off the lights and does not leave his computer on
because he is too lazy to unplug it, unlike me. It seems like he has already
integrated the "low-carbon" concept into his daily life.
Of course, a "low-carbon" lifestyle is not just about saving electricity. Saving
water and paper is also essential. To save the earth's resources, we should all
adopt a "low-carbon" lifestyle. Although the power of a family may be small, if
dozens or hundreds of families do the same, then I think we will definitely save
a lot of earth's resources! Let's take action to protect the earth and do our
part! |
