EU: Every household will reduce 32 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions after using energy-saving lamps. In Britain, the disposal of leftovers has also become an important part of carbon emission reduction. The relevant government departments have equipped every household with garbage bins that deal with leftovers, which is equivalent to reducing the carbon dioxide emissions of Britain 1/5.
Japan: Launched a "carbon neutral" campaign. When choosing a house, it will choose a carbon-reducing house with insulation layer, double glass and windproof device, and also advocate citizens to calculate their own carbon emissions and pay for it.
Copenhagen: There are strict building standards to promote energy-efficient buildings. There are strict regulations on the sealing degree of insulation layer and doors and windows. The wall is three layers thick, and the middle layer is made of special thermal insulation material, which can keep warm in summer and prevent cold in winter. Windows also have strict requirements, and cold (hot) air outside will not easily come in. Every household uses energy-saving lamps, and there are no street lamps on the way to the suburbs at night.
Implementing the policy of high tax on energy use, the price of primary electricity consists of three parts: energy market price, transportation cost and tax, of which tax accounts for as much as 57%. If you don't adopt energy-saving methods, you will have to pay a high price.
In Copenhagen, Denmark, "low-carbon life" is reflected in all aspects of life and permeates the bone marrow of citizens: many people use clockwork alarm clocks instead of electronic clocks and traditional toothbrushes instead of electric toothbrushes; Insist on outdoor sports and use the treadmill as little as possible; Wash clothes naturally and dry them with less washing machine; Reduce the control of air conditioning on indoor temperature, wear more clothes in winter and less suits in summer; Even the toilet paper used in hotels is made of recycled paper; Copenhagen is the world's first "cycling city" named by the International Cycling Union, and cycling instead of walking has become the cultural symbol of this city.
On the streets of Copenhagen, you will see such advertisements: Did you wash clothes by hand today? There is also an advertisement printed on the vehicle: a young woman is wearing a white T-shirt, which reads "I love waste", reflecting the attitude of Copenhagen people towards waste recycling.
