冬雪,冻雨,又见雪后阳光

我一直喜欢雨雪，我还记得中学的时候我写过一篇作文《雨雪情》。我说自己对于雨雪的情就像浓得化不开的情里面又打了一个结。

这个冬天本来很反常，有时候都不知道到底是秋天还是冬天，全世界的人都在为越来越高温度担心。 好在我们还可以看到雪，不仅有雪，还有雪后明媚的阳光。大自然有他化腐朽为神奇的妙笔，让你不得不叹服。

好在我们也还可以做一些力所能及的事情，希望至少可以停止全球变暖：

1 尽量用荧光灯管代替灯泡。Change a light

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

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

4 记得检查轮胎 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 少用热水 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 减少重复的包装 Avoid products with a lot of packaging

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

7 夏天把空调调高两度，冬天调低两度。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 种树 Plant a tree

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

9 记得关掉电器 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.
