答案：[高分范文]
My low-carbon life
The environmental pollution is worse and worse today. We are facing many environmental problems now. For example，too much use of plastic bags has caused serious white pollution. Wastewater flowing into the river not only pollutes the environment but also does harm to people's health. As students，we should do our part to live a lower-carbon life.
First of all，we can walk or ride a bike instead of driving. Second，we are expected to turn off the taps and lights when we don't use them. Third，remember to go shopping with a reusable bag rather than plastic bags.
Let's take action from now on.

翻译:
### 我们能为环境做些什么？
我们的环境正变得越来越糟糕。我们能为环境做些什么呢？
首先，我们可以通过缩短淋浴时间以及刷牙时关掉水龙头来节约用水。
其次，当我们离开房间时，千万不要忘记关灯。
如果我们的电视或电脑不用了，我们也应该关掉电源。
第三，我们购物时可以带上自己的袋子，而不是使用塑料袋。
此外，如果我们步行或骑车上学，那就更好了。
在我看来，即使是最简单的日常活动也能对环境产生影响。
如果我们为环境做些事情，我们就能让世界变成一个更适宜居住的地方。
