低碳生活用英文怎么说

所谓“低碳生活”就是把生活作息时间中所耗用的能量尽量减少，从而减低二氧化碳的排放量。低碳生活，对于普通人来说是一种生活态度，同时也成为人们推进潮流的新方式。它给我们提出的是一个“愿不愿意和大家共同创造低碳生活”的问题。 但是我们应该积极提倡并去实践低碳生活，要注意节电、节气、熄灯一小时……从这些点滴做起。那么，低碳生活用英文怎么说呢？

What is low-carbon lifestyle

什么是低碳生活

Low-carbon power comes from sources that produce fewer greenhouse gases than do traditional means of power generation. It includes zero carbon power generation sources, such as wind power, solar power, geothermal power and (except for fuel preparation) nuclear power, as well as sources with lower-level emissions such as natural gas and also technologies that prevent carbon dioxide from being emitted into the atmosphere, such as carbon capture and storage. These power-generation techniques emit significantly less carbon dioxide than a traditional fossil fuel power plant.

A Low-Carbon Economy (LCE) or Low-Fossil-Fuel Economy (LFFE) is an economy which has a minimal output of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into the environment biosphere, but specifically refers to the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. Recently, some scientific and public opinion has concluded that anthropogenic (human activity) caused GHG emissions are either causing climate change or making climate change worse. Those who have drawn this conclusion are concerned there will be negative impacts on humanity in the foreseeable future because of climate change. Globally implemented LCE’s therefore are proposed, by those who have drawn this conclusion, as a means to avoid catastrophic climate change, and as a precursor to the more advanced, zero-carbon society and renewable-energy economy.

A low-carbon fuel standard (LCFS) is a rule enacted to reduce carbon intensity in transportation fuels as compared to conventional petroleum fuels, such as gasoline and diesel. The most common low-carbon fuels are alternative fuels and cleaner fossil fuels, such as natural gas (CNG and LPG). The main purpose of a low-carbon fuel standard is to decrease carbon dioxide emissions associated to fuel-powered vehicles considering the entire life cycle (“well to wheels”), in order to reduce the carbon footprint of transportation.

低碳生活（low-carbon life style）可以理解为：减少二氧化碳（carbon dioxide）的排放，就是低能量(energy resources)、低消耗(consumption)、低开支(expenditure)的生活。“节能减排”(energy conservation and emission reduction)，不仅是当今社会的流行语(catchword)，更是关系到人类未来的战略选择(strategic choice)。提高“节能减排”意识，对自己的生活方式或消费习惯(consumption custom)进行简单易行的改变，一起减少全球温室气体(greenhouse gases)（主要减少二氧化碳）排放，意义十分重大。“低碳生活”节能环保，有利于减缓全球气候变暖和环境恶化的速度。减少二氧化碳排放，选择“低碳生活”，是每位公民应尽的责任。
