To live a low-carbon life, we’d better save energy as possible．Turn off the lights and TV whenever they are not needed．If possible, use cold water to wash clothes or dishes．Take a short shower and try to take a cold one when the weather gets warm．Don’t do the cooking with electricity．
To live a low-carbon life , we should eat less meat．Everybody knows eating too much meat makes people fat and easy to have heart disease, but maybe you don’t know keeping animals for food produces even more carbon dioxide than all the cars in the world, and being a vegetarian can help reduce one and a half tons of carbon dioxide a year．Maybe it is a little difficult, but it’s really necessary．

What do people do with their old, out of date but still useful computers? Most people don’t know how to deal with them．Many old computers are put away．Many more are simply thrown away as rubbish．
Finally, some companies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers．Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products(产品)．Dell, Hewlett Packard and other companies now also take back some old computers of their own brands．
In some countries, laws have been passed, too．Computer companies have to pay for collecting and recycling their used products．And 70% of the computer waste must be recycled．The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay for the cost．That will encourage them to make computers which are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade(升级)．
Yet many people are throwing away good computers, while others cannot afford them at all．Hundreds of organizations are working on this problem．They collect and repair old computers．Some also teach others how to repair computers．These repaired computers then go to schools, charities(慈善团体) or people who need them．Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s rubbish into someone else’s useful things and cut down waste, too．
