As global warming becomes more and more serious, each one of us must take action to help.
First, diet.
Changing what you eat could easily have a significant effect because animal agriculture creates about 14% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions (排放).
Second, travel.
Nearly all transport relies on fossil fuels. In the US, driving one mile in an average 2016 car emits 404 grams of CO2 equivalents per mile. But taking nearly any other means of transport will reduce CO2 emissions.
Third, energy.
Fourth, waste.
Think before you buy. The fashion industry creates about 10% of global greenhouse emissions and consumes more energy than flight and shipping combined.
Last but not least, plant a garden.
Plant a garden instead of building a yard out of cement (水泥), the production of which creates 8% of global CO2 emissions a year.
So from a burger to a cyclist, no one thing will have a big influence, but lots of little things can.
| A．Almost every household appliance needs it. |
| B．When you do make a purchase, try to buy it in large quantity. |
| C．Planting a garden helps reduce CO2 emissions and produce oxygen. |
| D．Each of us contributes a particular amount of CO2 into the atmosphere. |
| E．As we all know, the environment around us is getting worse and worse. |
| F．After walking, cycling is the best choice because it almost has no emissions. |
| G．In 2017, beef was found to be one of the most damaging foods to the climate. |
