1. Travel 200 kilometers in an energy-saving way
Cycling or walking instead of driving for 100 kilometers can save about 9 liters of fuel; taking the bus instead of driving for 100 kilometers can save Fuel saving 5/6. By traveling 200 kilometers in an energy-saving manner according to the above method, each person can reduce gasoline consumption by 16.7 liters and correspondingly reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 36.8 kilograms.
2. Use cloth bags to replace plastic bags
Although producing one less plastic bag can only save about 0.04 grams of standard coal, and correspondingly reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 0.1 grams, due to the daily use of plastic bags It’s huge. If the country reduces the use of plastic bags by 10%, it will save about 12,000 tons of standard coal and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 31,000 tons every year.
3. Do not use disposable chopsticks
my country is a country with a large population. Extensive use of disposable chopsticks will consume a large amount of forestry resources. If the country reduces the use of disposable chopsticks by 10%, it will be equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 103,000 tons per year.
4. Waste classification and processing
Household waste can generally be divided into four major categories: recyclable waste, kitchen waste, hazardous waste and other waste. The benefits of garbage classification are to reduce land occupation, reduce environmental pollution, and turn waste into treasure, which has social, economic, and ecological benefits.
5. Use water-saving faucets
Using induction water-saving faucets can save about 30% of water than manual faucets. Each household can save 9.6 kilograms of standard coal per year and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 24.8 kilograms. If 2 million households across the country choose water-saving faucets every year when replacing faucets, 20,000 tons of standard coal can be saved and 50,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced.
6. Use a basin to collect water to wash vegetables
Using a basin to collect water to wash vegetables instead of rinsing directly can save about 1.64 tons of water per household per year, and at the same time reduce the same amount of sewage discharge, and reduce emissions accordingly. Carbon dioxide 0.74 kg. If all 180 million urban households across the country do this, it will save 51,000 tons of standard coal and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 134,000 tons every year.
7. Use the refrigerator rationally
Reducing the opening time of the refrigerator by 3 minutes a day can save 30 kilowatt hours of electricity in a year, and correspondingly reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 30 kilograms; defrost the refrigerator in time, It can save 184 kilowatt hours of electricity every year and correspondingly reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 177 kilograms. If these measures are generally adopted for the 150 million refrigerators across the country, 7.38 billion kilowatt hours of electricity can be saved and 7.08 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced every year.

The development of my country's environmental protection industry
my country's environmental protection industry began in the 1950s and 1960s. Start in mid-term and start on the right path of development. Since the reform and opening up, my country's environmental protection industry has developed steadily. The "Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China (Trial)" promulgated in 1979 put environmental protection work on the legal track and accelerated the development of environmental protection.
The Second National Environmental Protection Work Conference held in 1983 officially identified environmental protection as a basic national policy of our country and the guiding principle of "unifying economic benefits, social benefits, and environmental benefits". The three major environmental protection policies of "prevention first, combined with prevention and control", "who pollutes, control" and "strengthening environmental management" were clarified.
During the "Eighth Five-Year Plan", especially the 1992 United Nations Environmental Protection Agency. After the Conference on Environmental and Development, China took the lead in the world in proposing the "Ten Countermeasures for Environment and Development", which for the first time clearly proposed changing the traditional development model and taking the path of sustainable development.
During the "Ninth Five-Year Plan", The Fourth Session of the Eighth National People's Congress reviewed and approved the "Ninth Five-Year Plan for the National Economic and Social Development of the People's Republic of China and the Outline of Long-term Goals for 2010", and the State Council issued the "Decision on Several Issues Concerning Environmental Protection" to implement "Total Pollutant Emission Control Plan" and "Cross-century Green Project Plan"
During the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" period, the Party Central Committee proposed the major strategic thinking of establishing a scientific outlook on development and building a harmonious society. , the promulgation of my country’s first circular economy legislation, the Cleaner Production Promotion Law, marks the beginning of my country’s transformation of pollution control model from end-of-pipe treatment to full-process control.
During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, the country further Increasing environmental protection efforts has greatly promoted the further development of my country's environmental protection cause.
