Imagine a world where air pollution is no longer a problem . Clean air is all around us . People don’t have to worry about polluting the air every time they take the bus .
A city in California has got some new buses . They cost $490,000 each . The new buses are different from the old ones . These new buses are better for the environment . They are called hybrid buses . They run on diesel (柴油的) and electric power . This will help keep the air cleaner .

To have a low -carbon life , we could do these things . First , we should stop polluting the earth . We’d better not use private cars too often , because that may cause the air pollution . Second , we could save resources , such as taking your own bags for shopping , turning off lights before leaving rooms , using solar energy and so on . Third , we could do some recycling work . I think it’s better to reuse your paper for counting than just throwing it away . Finally , planting more trees is also crucial for our low -carbon life .
In a word , having a low-carbon life is necessary for our earth . Let’s work together to make our world a “healthy” one .
