Since the pandemic last year, extreme climate has appeared in many countries in the world, including China, and caused shocking disasters. In addition, the latest assessment report of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on climate change (IPCC) has issued a "Red Alert" to human society. Therefore, the prospect of climate change on the earth in the future is not optimistic. Therefore, It is particularly important, or very necessary, to organize and mobilize all sectors of society to actively participate in popularizing ecological civilization, the concept of green development and the knowledge of energy conservation and carbon reduction, so as to make people advocate the social fashion of saving, green and low carbon!

First of all, people must participate in addressing climate change and achieving carbon neutralization. Only the government and enterprises are trying to save energy and reduce carbon, they can not complete the "3060" strategic task. Energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions are not only produced in the production process, but also the main source of people's daily necessities. Among them, housing and transportation are particularly important. The sum of their related carbon emissions reaches about 40% of the total emissions in China. The agriculture related to eating, the agriculture related to dressing and the textile industry also have a considerable proportion of carbon emissions. Therefore, mitigation of climate change through energy conservation and emission reduction should not only start from the production side, but also from the consumption side.

Although China has just built a well-off society and its per capita greenhouse gas emissions have not exceeded those of developed countries, China's per capita emissions of 10.1 tons in 2019 are close to the average level of 10.5 tons per capita of OECD member countries, and a large proportion of them exceed the world average level, which is higher than the average level of EU countries. Of course, the adjustment of China's energy structure and industrial structure is the key. China can't develop to the world's highest per capita emission of 17.6 tons in the United States. At the same time, we need people's lifestyle to really change to a green and low-carbon direction. In addition, the products produced by enterprises are used by consumers to arouse consumers' awareness of green and low-carbon, so that the products in line with energy conservation and emission reduction are more favored in the market, while the products with high energy consumption and high resource consumption are resisted, transmitting social signals to production enterprises, which is also extremely important for enterprises to take the road of carbon neutralization.

On the other hand, realizing carbon neutralization will have a significant impact on people's life. People need to realize the importance of carbon neutralization as soon as possible, participate in the process of realizing carbon neutralization, and embrace the new lifestyle brought by carbon neutralization, even the new low-carbon and zero carbon life culture. I also take people's transportation and housing as examples to illustrate this change. In the future, due to the requirements of carbon neutralization, there will be fewer and fewer fuel vehicles running on the road for more than 100 years, and will withdraw from the historical stage within 20 to 30 years. The traffic using electric vehicles will be very different from fuel. We have seen that there are more and more charging piles in community garages and many parking lots. In the future, gas stations will disappear and be replaced by charging and hydrogen charging stations. Coupled with the coupling of new energy vehicles and driverless technology, the future car is a green intelligent mobile space, and the concept of transportation tools should be redefined, which will bring new travel modes. Just as we can see the location and arrival time of vehicles on the electronic map by online car hailing and public transportation, the traffic in the future will be very different from that in the past. We should be prepared for this.

Changes in housing may be greater and involve more impacts. Because many people's living habits in the house will change. The cooking, heating and hot water used at home will no longer use primary fossil energy such as gas and coal, but directly use secondary energy such as electricity. It can also be popularly called "coal to electricity", but here is not only to change coal into electricity, but also to change gas into electricity. People like the author, who was born in the 1960s, lived in rural areas and county towns before the reform and opening up. Cooking and heating in winter depended on firewood and coal. Later, with the gas tank, cooking was much more convenient. And the direct gas stove and gas water heater at home feel the improvement of the quality of life. However, just like when working in Europe and America later, high-capacity resistance wire stoves are used for cooking, and most of the heating is electric heating. In the future, this will also become the normal life of Chinese people. In order to switch from relying on fossil energy to "electrification", the houses already living have to undergo a lot of house and equipment transformation. This process will bring inconvenience to everyone's life, especially the understanding and support of the people.

Another important point is that our houses may not need to access power from the outside, but have their own solar photovoltaic panels on the roof and wall for power generation. Households use renewable energy with low greenhouse gas emissions, and also need to transform the electric and electrical facilities and equipment outside and inside the house. Your power consumption habits may need to consider the impact of weather on power generation, It is also necessary to consider the difference in electricity price between peak and trough, and it may also be necessary to fully charge the electric vehicle during the day for lighting and electrical appliances at night. This is not a science fiction scene. Such a scene will soon enter our lives. We need activities such as the national low carbon week to publicize and popularize the knowledge of green and low-carbon life in advance, so that people can see and understand the future.

Finally, there should be more daily activities to make people deeply aware of the harm of climate change. Climate change has become more and more obvious. People living in Beijing may never experience so much rain as this summer. More and more disasters are brought about by climate change. The floods and mountain fires reported all over the world this year, as well as the floods in Zhengzhou, which are still fresh in our memory, tell us to take action to build a green and low-carbon society. Our green travel, less air conditioning, less food waste and online payment will slow down climate change and contribute to the realization of carbon neutrality. Human society needs to change to a new way of production and life of sustainable culture and ecological civilization, so that the climate can be stable and the earth is suitable for human habitation.
