Our low-carbon (低碳) life
More and more people in Beijing would like to take part in the environmental protection. It is playing a key role in improving Beijing's air quality.
Before the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the government started a "No Car Day" activity. The purpose of the activity is to reduce the capital's air pollution.
So far, people in Beijing have stopped using their cars for about 940,000 days together. Almost 100,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions (碳排放) have been prevented.
What's more, a mini program began in Beijing in 2021 through WeChat. It can record our own personal carbon dioxide emissions.
If a person uses the mini program, he or she can win credits (信用积分) by living a low-carbon lifestyle. The credits can be exchanged for subway tickets and are also used to pay for the cost of using shared bikes.
