Each and every one of us is responsible for the greenhouse gases we emit in our daily actions and choices. Therefore, combating climate change is going to take the combined efforts of everyone on the planet.

The average household carbon footprint in China is 2.41 tons of carbon dioxide annually. That's enough to fill half an Olympic swimming pool.

Surprised? Well, here's how you can work to reduce it:

1.Get started by calculating your own carbon footprint. This will give you a starting point from which to begin monitoring your progress. You enter details such as what sort of apartment you live in, your personal energy use and travel habits.

2. Each week, choose one day when you don't eat meat. Meat uses up lots of energy because it takes a long time to produce. Animals produce methane, which is another dangerous greenhouse gas, when they burp and fart.

3. Only buy the amount of food you need and if there are leftovers, get creative. For instance, make them into a soup. Ask to take food home from restaurants if there's some left, but remember to take your own container to avoid using a disposable carton.

我们每一个人负责温室气体排放在我们的日常行为和选择。因此,应对气候变化需要地球上的每个人都的共同努力。

平均每个家庭在中国的碳排放量是2.41吨二氧化碳。足够填充半个奥运游泳池了。

惊讶吗?下面是如何努力去减少这种:

1。开始计算你自己的碳足迹。这将给你一个起点的开始监视你的进步。您输入详细信息,比如什么样的公寓你住在,你的个人能源使用和旅行的习惯。

2。每周选择一天当你不吃肉。肉类消耗大量的能源,因为它需要很长时间。动物可以产生甲烷,这是另一种危险的温室气体——当他们打嗝、放屁。

3。只买适量的食物,如有剩饭,有创意。例如,让他们变成一个汤。要求把食物带回家从餐馆如果有一些离开,但切记要适用自己的饭盒,避免用一次性饭盒。
