学校为了提高我们的环保意识，开展了一次“低碳生活，从我做起” Low carbon life, starts from me 的活动。活动呼吁我们认真考虑低碳生活的有用措施。我们讨论出：1. 不随地乱扔垃圾、吐痰；并正确处理垃圾，做好垃圾分类。

2. 节约资源，包括水，电，粮食等。

3. 不滥用塑料袋，改用可重复使用的环保袋。 4. 出行多乘坐公共交通；骑自行车也是不错的选择，既可以保护生存环境，又可以锻炼身体。

Recently, in order to raise our awareness of environmental protection, our school carried out an activity whose theme is “Low carbon life, starts from me”. The activity calls on us to take the useful measures into consideration seriously. After discussion, we think that we should not litter and spit everywhere and in terms of dealing with rubbish, we can sort it. In our daily life, we should also save resources, including water, electricity and food, and furthermore, when going shopping, we should use reusable recycle bag instead of plastic bags. If we want to go out, we can take public transport, and of course, riding bicycles is a good choice because it can not only protect living environment but build up our body strength.
