In a few years, most people will know that a healthy, happy, loving family is a joy and it is a necessary part for building a strong society. But there are still some people who don’t believe family life can be an enjoyable experience.
Some people already accepted the idea of the “me generation” so they fail to understand that there is a time in life when they have to give up their time to something more valuable.
At a time when adults need to think about the needs of their family, they will be doing other important things. Some people will spend too much time working for a more powerful car or a bigger house so that they can proudly say that they have them. Some will be doing dangerous things so that they may tell their stories to their friends, and others will recite things like “ I must become the best I can be.” or “I don’t want to be at the bottom.” The needs of their family will be forgotten and they never seem to have time for the family.
Many people have not experienced a strong helpful perfect family life, so they have never discovered its worth. Many people have always experienced family life as a flight, so they can’t find time and energy for work.
But it is really very important that we all expect good family relations. We need to realize and value the importance of what can be achieved by loving each other in the family. It is also important for our society to encourage family members to create happiness.

Now, are you changing your living habits to have a low carbon life? Here are some strategies (策略) for you.
Strategy One
●Each week, choose one day when you don’t eat meat. Meat takes up lots of energy because it takes a long time to produce. And animals must be fed on farmed plants, which could be used to feed many more people.
Strategy Two
●Only buy the amount of food you need. When you buy food, go local rather than imported (进口的), and get fresh vegetables instead of frozen.
Strategy Three
●Make sure you keep the things such as paper and plastic bottles separate (独立) so that they can be recycled. There are places where you can recycle batteries. Make sure you find them.
Strategy Four
●Take showers rather than baths and reduce your shower time by two minutes. This will save water and give you an extra two minutes in bed.
Strategy Five
●Buses and trains are better than cars, but walking or cycling is better still. It’s also better for your health and cheaper. It can even be quicker than sitting in a car at rush hours in a busy city. For long distances, coaches are better than trains.
Strategy Six
●Try to buy good, long-lasting products even though they may cost a little more. A small screen TV is better than a big screen. Keep your electronic products one year longer than you would usually have.
