A young man called Low-Carbon Brother become a hit on the Internet in 2011. He suggests living a low carbon life, which means using less energy in our daily life so that we can help reducing carbon dioxide in the air. For example, she always picks up some waste paper on the street or uses the blank side to write something. While he is watching TV, he always turns up the screen brightness to the minimum and turns off the light. Therefore, he goes to work by bike instead of driving. Some people think what he is doing is just a show. No one can live such a simply life with so many modern invention around us. As far as I am concerned, I am strongly in favor his idea and his behavior. Although what he is doing has no huge effect on global warming, but he at least can enjoy a healthy life.

“Chinese Dream” has become hot topic among Chinese people. According to a recent survey conducting by CCTV, different groups of people have different dreams.

On the one hand, people lived in cities hope that traffic conditions can be improved. Beside, citizens also wish air pollution caused by cars, factories and daily life could be controlled. Maybe more trees should be planted to help improve the environment better.

On the other hand, farmers had the dream of being provided with a better education; they want their children to receive higher education and not to fall behind urban children any longer. What’s more, we hope to have better medical treatment and live a healthier life in the future.

I think “Chinese Dream” also means honest, peace and love. In so a world people can get on well each other.
