In China, more and more people have realized the seriousness of climate change. Zheng Xiyu is one of them. She has been trying to reduce her carbon footprint. Every morning, she takes a bus to her office and it takes her about 40 minutes. But Zheng has been thinking of changing this. Riding a bicycle to work, the lady says, takes about the same amount of time as taking a bus. "However, it's better for the environment and my health. " she says.
Professor Li Lin has also been leading a low-carbon lifestyle. Her office uses energy-saving lights. These lights go off themselves when they are not needed. This has saved a large amount of electricity. Professor Li says small actions like these are important for protecting the environment.
Lin Hong always chooses products with a longer life when she shops. Two years ago, Lin and her friends set up an environment website, where she wanted to give some advice on saving energy and protecting the environment.
Everybody can do this and make a difference.
