随着科技的发展，随着人们越来越富裕，大街上的私家车也慢慢地多了起来，大家渐渐地远离了低碳生活。再这样下去，还会影响到其它生物，地球将从宇宙中消失。
那地球会不会没有救了呢?不，只要从现在开始，我们行动起来，拯救地球，拯救自己——过低碳生活!
说起低碳生活，从我记事起，外公就帮我养成了一个很好的习惯——将一些废纸和纸箱都收集起来，然后拿到废品收购站去卖。那时我还不懂什么，只当是节约，现在想想，要是每个人都能这样做的话，那我们人类将可以少砍多少树呀!每次我和家人去超市购物，我都会提醒大人带上环保袋，平时我们买饮料会尽量买纸盒装的，那样可以减少“白色污染”。记得有一回在超市，我妈妈看见一个可以挤牙膏的东西，就要买下来，说那样的话可以把牙膏挤的很干净，那可以节省点。我却说：“你看，这是用是塑料做的”。妈妈不明白是什么意思。我又说：“为了节省点一点牙膏而使地球上又多了一些白色垃圾，有什么好的'”?妈妈恍然大悟，连说：“是呀，是呀!看来这个发明的确是得不偿失呀”!
低碳生活其实还有很多小窍门呢!比如洗脸过的水可以用来冲马桶，浇花;洗衣机里洗衣物的水可以用一个个盆子装起来，可以用来擦地板，擦家具……这些都是我们平时力所能及的一些小事。
你看，低碳生活其实就是这么简单!让我们一起行动起来：人人做到我做起吧!

这次我来到了我的故乡——贵州。那里的天比别处更可爱，天空是那么蓝，大地是绿色的。使我总想高歌一曲，表示我满心的愉快。
一天的清晨，我洗完脸，刚要把水倒掉。大舅却出来阻止，他说：“这水不能倒掉，因为别人还可以洗脸，只有在水很脏时，才能倒掉。”说罢，他叫大舅妈出来洗脸，大舅妈迅速地把脸洗了干净。到了晚上，我和别人洗完了脸，刚要把水倒掉，大舅说：“洗完脸的水还可以干什么?”我说：“可以浇花。”大舅说：“不，你漏了一样，是洗脚。”“我知道了。”我迅速地把脚洗了干净，接着把水用来冲马桶。
有一次，外公的土地上空出了一片地。我很高兴，我对外公说：“我们可以在这里修建游乐场。”外公却说：“我们要在土地上种瓜果蔬菜。”外公连忙把大白菜的种子撒在地里。外公每天给它们施肥、浇水。现在，在每一片空地上都有绿油油的大白菜，好吃的水果，还有高大的树，形成的.树林。我们每天在这里呼吸新鲜空气。这里的人大多数很健康，因为这里有很多绿色。
同学们，我们每一个人都要做到节约用水、保护坏境。让我们共同做到节约用水的基本条件。

随着现代工业的发展，环境污染受到越来越多的关注。面对诸如全球变暖、酸雨等问题，是时候应该采取适当、有效的措施了.而第一件要做的事就是过低碳生活。
低碳生活并不是像我们想象的那样复杂，它存在于我们的日常生活之中。例如我们不坐私车改坐巴士。当你可以通过E-mail祝贺生日时就不写卡片。当你可以改造旧东西就不买新的东西。低碳生活是简单的、健康的，当然也是有助于环境的.。因此，低碳生活是社会的潮流。
而且，如果我们都过低碳生活，未来就不会有温室效应。只要我们都过低碳生活，2012就永远不会到来

我们都知道，我们周围的环境越来越差。在一些地方，我们不能看到鱼在河里游泳或树木在山上。有些人甚至没有干净的水喝。我们应该过一种低碳生活为了保护环境。我们可以去学校步行或骑自行车代替开车。我们最好使用购物篮代替塑料袋当我们去购物。我们应该使用纸的`两面，当我们写。不要使用纸杯。在学校食堂，用我们自己的碗，而不是一次性的筷子。我们可以利用水和节约用电。总之，如果每个人都关注环境，将会有更少的污染，我们的生活会更好。

地球是我们的家园，这位人类的母亲，这个生命的摇篮，已经被人类折磨得伤痕累累。它是无私地为我们提供自然资源。所以，保护地球是我们义不容辞的义务与责任。低碳生活，就是我们给地球母亲最好的回报方式。
有一次，我正在写一篇文章。可我左思右想也没有想出一个好题材。一本原稿纸被我撕得只剩几页了，这时，被妈妈发现了,她提醒了我：“女儿啊，你怎么养成这么浪费的坏习惯呢?你难道不知道这些纸都是树木做成的吗?要是每一个人都浪费一张纸，全国13亿人就等于毁坏了一片森林，地球已经不堪一击，我们要精心保护地球，我们的人类才能生活在地球上!”听了妈妈的话，我感到羞愧不已。节约资源，就要从身边这些琐碎的小事做起：节约水，节约电……
自从吸取了上次的教训，我再也不浪费纸张了。并且学到了低碳生活的“好本领”：淘米水可以用来浇花，这样做不仅使花草更茂盛，也可以很好地节约资源;洗菜水可以用来拖地或冲厕所……相信大家都听过一句话：如果人类不加节制地浪费水资源，那么世界上的最后一滴水，将是人类的眼泪。有人曾做过统计，只要我们中国人节约一滴水，那全国就能节约45吨水。多么惊人的数字啊!联想到祖国的万里长江和滔滔黄河，不也是由一滴滴的水汇聚而成的吗?
蓝蓝的`天空，洁白的云朵，山间绿树红花，鸟儿尽情欢唱，鱼儿在水中自由遨游。多么和谐的人与自然的风景图。这不正是人们向往、憧憬的吗?从这一刻起，保护地球，过低碳生活。让我们的家园更美好、更绿色!

对于我们中间那些决意在2010年过一种低碳生活的人而言，买一本普拉尚特的新书《节约的环保主义者》并不是最糟糕的选择。作者在书中仔细检查了自己生活的点滴细节，计算出了如果自己开车速度更慢、在阁楼安装绝缘材料、或是改吃素食，分别能减少多少二氧化碳排放。其结果对于一些人来说会有点晦涩难懂，但其专业性古怪得讨人喜欢，而且优点是往往是正确的。

这个优点被低估了。环保主义者一直迟钝，没有意识到时髦的环保生活方式充满着矛盾。尤其让我恼怒的一点，是对于“食物英里数”的执迷：我们杜绝来自西班牙的`西红柿和来自肯尼亚的玫瑰，而偏爱本地温室里生长、碳足迹高得多的作物。

另一些不那么显而易见的事实包括：猪肉和鸡肉的碳足迹明显低于牛肉和羊肉（没错，哪怕是有机牛肉和羊肉）；牛奶和奶酪同样拥有相当高的碳足迹；用洗碗机通常比用手洗碗更高效；而环保型洗衣粉可能明显对环境不利，因为它们往往会诱使人们使用热水。
