Glaciers are melting and sea levels are rising.Environmental protection is swiftly becoming one of the most urgent challenges for humankind. Yet environmental protection does not necessarily mean global summits or high technologies, nor is it just a hobby for the affluent. Its potential lies in everyday attitudes and a call to action.

This is not a comprehensive popular science reader about climate, but a very straightforward and convenient guide to low-carbon life. Based on Chinese people' s current lifestyles, through concerns inside and outside our homes and issues for the future, the book aims to help readers realize that environmental protection is not just a catchphrase or a fashion. Everyone may partake in it. Low-carbon life is not impossible to achieve, and everybody may benefit from changes that at first may seem trivial, but are environment-friendly actions close to our daily life. A host of useful tips and experiences make the book very practical and valuable.
