We know that carbon dioxide
61、is the major greenhouse gas that causes global warming. By living a low-carbon life, we can cut carbon dioxide emissions, which may contribute to stopping the temperature from rising. There are many ways of leading an environmentally friendly life. For instance, we can turn off electrical appliances
62、 like lights, the television and the computer when we arent using them. Cars not only cause serious air pollution but also waste energy, so we could walk or ride a bicycle for short trips. If we need to travel a long distance we can take public transportation. It is also wise to use reusable cloth bags and not disposable plastic bags when we stop. I believe that as long as each of us makes a small change to cut carbon emissions, we can make a big difference and develop a harmonious relationship with the environment.
