    【Chemical Machinery and Equipment Network Hot Concern ] Although we always say "protecting the environment, starting with you and me", few people talk about the details, and a report by the Associated Press raised some questions on this issue.
    Opinion, although the topic is serious, the content is very interesting.
    It is understood that changing the report on greenhouse gas emissions as an entry point mentions five things that "if everyone can do it, a lot of carbon emissions can be reduced.
    "

    Among these 5 things, 3 things are related to "shut up".
    They are to encourage the public to switch to a diet rich in plant foods without excessive intake of excess calories to avoid wasting food.
    To put it simply, "be more vegetarian, less gluttonous, and no waste.
    " Furthermore, in fact, by allowing everyone to develop healthy eating habits, so as to avoid that part of the carbon emissions caused by food waste in animal husbandry, agriculture, food production and other links.

     

    In fact, from this perspective, in addition to eating, perhaps many small things around us can be related to environmental governance.

     

    At present, we advocate a low-carbon life.
    A large part of the reason is that carbon emissions are directly related to the greenhouse effect.
    Objectively speaking, many of the activities that we take for granted are direct causes of increased carbon emissions, such as travel.

     

      As the economic conditions of every household get better and better, more and more families have become car owners, and cars have become their main means of travel.
    It is precisely because of this reason that the traffic volume on the road has increased significantly compared to more than ten years ago.
    In contrast, the total emissions of vehicle exhaust have also risen linearly.
    Although, from the perspective of exhaust gas monitoring and technological improvement, the current control of harmful gases (sulfide, nitrogen oxide, etc.
    ) in automobile exhaust is very mature, but conventional greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide are not well controlled.
    policy.

     

      Obviously, the popularity of private cars has become an environment that cannot be ignored in the carbon emission process.
    Although, from the perspective of governance, the development of technology to reduce carbon emissions in the operation of private cars is an important development direction, but from a practical point of view, if residents can reasonably allocate the use of private cars, they will not affect their lives.
    More use of green travel ideas instead of private cars will help a lot in the current low-carbon goals.

     

      Therefore, objectively speaking, the bizarre but realistic conclusion that “shut up” can reduce carbon emissions precisely reflects a fundamental need for environmental governance—the consciousness of the masses.
    Until today, carbon emissions are still directly related to our living habits.
    If we indulge in our lives, extravagance and waste will naturally bring about more carbon emissions.
    Therefore, in addition to relying on the hard conditions of good technology and high-quality equipment, the environment Governance itself is still inseparable from our self-discipline and every detail of starting from small things.
