It is crucial to actively popularize "low-carbon life" and penetrate it into families. In accordance with the principle of comprehensive management and comprehensive promotion, the community strives to carry out civilized and "low-carbon life" activities, allowing residents to seek low-carbon consumption methods for everything. This is low-carbon life. First of all, we carried out activities through party members and floor door team leaders to visit hundreds of households and learn about their conditions.

We have distributed more than 5,000 copies of community environmental protection manuals, letters to residents, promotional materials, etc., published more than 10 issues of blackboard newspapers, and used community online websites to promote the content of "low-carbon life": citizens have basic requirements for "low-carbon life" and advocate Green consumption, stay away from white pollution, smoking is harmful to health, etc. In June this year, the District Environmental Protection Bureau held a large-scale public welfare event on health and environmental protection, vigorously publicized and popularized the relevant content of "low-carbon life" and common sense of environmentally friendly living, improved the environmental awareness of community residents, and mobilized the consciousness of community residents to popularize "low-carbon life" and positivity. ?

The working situation and atmosphere of "responsible" are highly praised by residents. ?

Urban Garden Community popularizes "low-carbon life" activities, which are not only recognized by residents, but also fully affirmed by provincial and municipal environmental protection departments.

They went to communities, schools and residential areas for in-depth exchanges and gained insights into the urban environment.

I planted a plane tree with the residents in front of the community, and together I wish that greenery will always be there and the world will be harmonious and beautiful. ?

The work of popularizing "low-carbon life" has only a starting point and no end.
