冬雪,凍雨,又見雪後陽光

我一直喜歡雨雪，我還記得中學的時候我寫過一篇作文《雨雪情》。我說自己對於雨雪的情就像濃得化不開的情裏麵又打了一個結。

這個冬天本來很反常，有時候都不知道到底是秋天還是冬天，全世界的人都在為越來越高溫度擔心。 好在我們還可以看到雪，不僅有雪，還有雪後明媚的陽光。大自然有他化腐朽為神奇的妙筆，讓你不得不歎服。

好在我們也還可以做一些力所能及的事情，希望至少可以停止全球變暖：

1 盡量用熒光燈管代替燈泡。Change a light

 replacing one regular bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb will save 150 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.

2 少開車。Drive less

 walk、bike、carpool or take mass transit more often. you'll save one pound of carbon dioxide for every mile you don't drive.

3 廢品回收 Recycle more
you can save 2,400 pounds of carb on dioxide per year by recycling just half of your household waste.

4 記得檢查輪胎 Check your tires

 keeping your tires inflated properly can imporve gas mileage by more than 3%. every gallon of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

5 少用熱水 Use less hot water

it takes a lot of energy to heat water. use less hot water by installing a low flow showerhead and washing your clothes in cold or warm water(500 pounds saved per year)

6 減少重複的包裝 Avoid products with a lot of packaging

you can save 1200 pounds of carbon dioxide if you cut down your garbage by 10%

7 夏天把空調調高兩度，冬天調低兩度。Adjust your thermostat

moving your thermostat just 2 degrees in winter and up 2 degrees in summer. you can save about 2000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year with this simple adjustment

8 種樹 Plant a tree

a single tree will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime

9 記得關掉電器 Turn off electronic devices

simply turning off your television,DVD player,stereo,and computer when you're not using them will save you thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide a year.
