Comparison Investigation and Analysis of Low-Carbon Energy and Environment Awareness of Urban-Rural Residents
Abstract
Energy and environment are the two major problems that the mankind together face (Gratia 2003; Lam 2006). The World Climate Conference was held in Copenhagenˈthe capital of Denmark, on December 7-18,2009. Environment ministers from 192 countries and heads of states or governments from 85 countries attended the summit to discuss how to deal with climate warming. Building "low-carbon society" is a significant measure to retard the Earth's environmental degradation, climate warming in the world, and many countries are making unremitting endeavors in various ways (Brohus 2006; Liu 2009). As the world's one of largest consuming countries, China has got some electricity and natural gas supply problem in recent years, due to world energy shortages, power peak and valley difference increases, gas price hike, air conditioning and heating energy consumption increased (Liu 2009; Xu 2010), which the situation is not optimistic. So it is necessary to carry out a survey on the family life of residents with energy and environmental awareness.
