10 Trifles to Arrest Global Warming

10件小事阻止全球变暖
Global warming—the negative consequence of greenhouse effect—is increasingly grim, which has been illustrated by a succession of destructive crises in temperature. But how can we arrest global warming? The following are some plausible suggestions:
“全球变暖”即温室效应带来的负面影响正日益严峻,给人类带来了一系列灾难性的气候危机。那么如何阻止这一系列危机呢?如下是一些可行的建议:
1. Energy-saving Lamps Instead of Common Bulbs.
1. 用节能灯代替普通灯泡
Install the Energy–saving Lamp at home, which only needs 40% of the amount of energy to keep the same lightness as the common bulb. That is to say, 150 kilograms of carbon dioxide could be reduced to release into the air every year. In addition, extinguish the bulbs in corridors during daytime, or else, the electricity they consume would multiply in vain.
给家里安装节能灯,节能灯用普通白炽灯40%的能源就能达到相同的亮度。也就是说,每年能避免150千克二氧化碳被排放到大气中。另外,白天关掉走廊上的灯,否则将会成倍地浪费电能。
2. Clean the Air-condition and Change the Filter Stuff Regularly
2. 定期清洁空调,或更换过滤装置
By doing so we could shrink the output of CO2 by 16 ounces (namely 1 pound) every year.
这样做能减少16盎司(即1磅)二氧化碳排放到大气中。
3. Put the Lid on When Cooking.
3. 做饭时盖上锅盖
It is a valid manner to prevent the outgoing of vapo(u)rs. When the water in kettle boils, please turn off the power speedily.
这是一个防止蒸汽流失的有效办法。当水壶里的水沸腾后,应尽早关掉加热电源。
4. Reject the Imported Food
4. 拒绝进口食品
It is estimated that the domestic food save 70% of freight compared with foreign food. Eat less manufactured food, which could indirectly withdraw the CO2 in the air. In addition, use your handkerchief and make a reduction in using napkins.
据估计,国内的食物比进口食物节省70%的运费。少吃那些经过深加工的食品,间接地减少二氧化碳的排放。另外,使用手帕,少用餐巾纸。

5. Eat less Meat

5. 少吃肉
Eat a few more raw vegetables such as carrot, cabbage, onion and so on. Nitrogen, which could be released by many domestic animals, is an important component of the mixture of greenhouse gases.
可以适当多吃一些生菜,例如胡萝卜、洋白菜、洋葱等。氮是温室气体中的重要成分,而很多家畜都会释放大量的氮。
6. Make a Wholly Denial of Using Plastic Bags
6. 彻底拒绝使用塑料购物袋
Most of plastic bags couldn't easily be dissolved by germs and bacteria in soil, so go shopping with your own handbag.
由于大多塑料袋不易被土壤中的微生物和细菌分解,购物时最好使用自己的手提袋。
7. Reform Homes to be Warmer
增强房屋的御寒性能
Plug some rubber stuff in window rips or paste up some isolated materials on exterior of window glasses, which would avail to prevent external cold and heat.
7. 给窗户嵌缝塞一些橡胶材料或者在窗玻璃的表面粘贴绝缘材料,有利于抵挡外界的严寒酷热。
8. Recycle Organic Rubbish
8. 回收有机废物
Don't dump organic rubbish, which could produce energy through disposal.
不要将有机废物倾倒进垃圾回收站,经过处理这些都是有用的能源。
9. Try not to Drive Private Cars
9. 尽量减少自驾车
With the evolution of transportation, traveling by subways or collective cars are no longer supplements of going around. They are good manners for protection the environment and saving energy.
随着交通方式的发展,乘坐地铁或共用汽车已不再是人们出行的辅助方式,而是环保节能的首选。
10. Take Less Aircrafts (Airplanes)
10. 少乘坐飞机
When you make a journey, please choose to take a train at least one or two times in a year, which would be helpful to reduce the CO2 in the air. Of course, reducing the weight of your luggage before going aboard is also worthy to try.
当你需要旅行时,选择乘坐火车哪怕每年只是一两次,对于减少大气中的二氧化碳有很大的帮助。当然,在登机前减轻你行李的重量也是很值得尝试的办法。
Naturally, sending the messages to others also might help to arrest the global warming.
当然,把这些信息传给其他人,也可能有助于控制全球变暖。
