An in convenient truth is probably one of the most successful documentary movies in recent years. It greatly grabs people’s attention on the issue of global warming, so do I. Now, it seems that everyone one is working hard on the solid target: making the world more beautiful and trying to get our planet out of the threat of global warming. However，some countries spotted out that China should be responsible for a major part of global warming due to its large population. The in convenient truth is: China, my country, is also acting. Chinese government takes measures mainly from the two aspects: save energy and reduce the emission of CO2.
One of the two main methods is to save energy. By closing up considerable small thermal power plants and extensively apply the energy-efficient large thermal power generating units; China has received a remarkable result. The central government signed Responsibility with more 30 local governments aiming at closing 50 million kilowatts of small thermal power plants during 2007 to 2010. In addition, the central government promises to give priority support to those companies that perform distinctively in responding to the policy of energy saving, which I mentioned just now.
The other policy is reducing the emission of CO2 by decreasing the power consumption. Pointed out by the Eleventh Five-Year Planning, from 2006 to 2010, unit GDP energy consumption should be reduced to 80% and the emission of main pollutants should be lowered to 90%. The 20% reduction has become the solid target for Chinese government and all Chinese people. Also, some highly pollutional enterprises have been forced to close in the area of electric power system, iron and steel smelting, aluminum electrolyzing, nonferrous metal smelting and paper making.
To summarize, China is taking her responsibility to fight for the well-being of our living environment by applying policies like saving energies and lower the CO2 emission. In “An inconvenient truth”, the US and other countries have done a lot in environment protection and greenhouse gas reduction. Here, China is also acting.

This entry responds well to the question requirement.But I feel that the two policies mentioned above are actually the same strategy: improve efficiency of energy.Besides,it would be
ReplyDeletemore persuasive if reference of the statistics used are stated.
I agree that the post answers the question well. The two approaches could be better differentiated if the topic sentences were more exact. For instance, the first approach could be described as increasing efficiency through (government?) power production. The second approach is achieving efficiency by targeting industry.
ReplyDeleteI especially liked the last two sentences of the first paragraph. They are very cohesive and attracted the reader's attention.
