A low­carbon lifestyle means cutting carbon dioxide emissions and living a life characterized by low energy, low consumption and low spending. At present, this lifestyle is being accepted by many Chinese people who are currently living a low­carbon life.

　　Pan Huiqiang lives in Hangzhou and is an advocator of the “low­carbon lifestyle”. Pan said, “If possible, I avoid taking the elevator, commute to work by bus or bicycle, use both sides of every piece of paper, and save electricity. Many of my colleagues are interested in a low­carbon lifestyle now.”

　　Many people like to post their low­carbon diaries or low­carbon tips on the Internet and call on more people to live a low­carbon life by turning off electrical appliances when going out, commuting on foot or by bicycle and subway, using e­mails and MSN instead of printers and fax machines.

　　In Shanghai, there is a “Green Hotel”. Transformed from an old post office, the hotel's material all came from its former building. At the reception desk, a computer can calculate carbon emissions during each guest's journey. It then turns the amount of emissions into the quantity of trees needed to offset them. After paying a given sum to the hotel, trees will be planted in north China's Inner Mongolia in the near future.

　　In Beijing's Badaling region, a carbon sink forest has been developed. If someone wants to balance out their carbon dioxide emissions, they can buy a part of the carbon sink or plant trees there.
