For instance, in the last winter, foggy days with the so called PM2

40、.5 caused a panic among citizens. People were afraid of the polluted air and chose to stay at home instead of going out. Protecting the environment is really an extremely urgent thing.

From the above analysis, we can get the basic idea that when we are doing something to reduce the carbon campus, but at the same time, we are make positive changes for ourselves.)解析：
