1、Unit 1AlandofdiversityUnit 1教师世界环境日讲话稿尊敬的各位领导,各位评委、朋友们:大家好!今天我演讲的题目是低碳,是一种态度。当学校的德育处副主任把电话打来问,要不要参加市环保局举办的低碳生活,和谐乐清的演讲比赛的时候,我想,演讲么就是讲话了,既然比赛是环保局主办的,那肯定跟环保之类的有关系,这些内容平常上课可没少跟学生讲。于是,本人抱着只要有热闹就凑上去的唯恐天下不乱的态度积极地报名了。名是报了,可是写演讲稿的时候就犯难了:低碳生活,这可是个新名词,最近虽然时有耳闻,对内里的含义却不得而知。那低碳,是个什么东东?我只知道碳原子是个c,烧烤用的碳是黑的,一颗永流传的

2、钻石是透明的碳。这碳,还有高矮胖瘦之分么?网络有名言:外事不决找goolge,内事不决问百度。于是我百度了一下。百度百科中如此解释:低碳生活(low-carbon life)可以理解为:减少二氧化碳的排放,就是低能量、低消耗、低开支的生活。原来,低碳生活,这个碳,指的是二氧化碳,低碳生活,是要我们在生活中节约能源,减少二氧化碳的排放。二氧化碳,可是顶顶大名的温室气体的构成成分,别的不说,近些年来,气候异常,温度升高已经是我们每一个人都Train the students listening and speaking abilities.教师世界环境日讲话稿Train the students
