[范文借鉴]
Hello_everyone,
With the changing climate and severe pollution, I strongly believe we should all be living lowcarbon lives today.
Living a lowcarbon life is a good way to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. I shall do it in the following ways. At home, I shall only turn on the lights if necessary, take shorter powers and keep the refrigerator and air conditioners in the lowcarbon mode to save energy. For transportation, the bus or bicycle will be my first choice. When shopping, I'll limit the use of plastic bags and wherever possible, I will separate my rubbish into nonrecyclable and recyclable waste.
I am hoping that more and more schoolmates will join me in my effort.
Thanks.
