Experts have recommmended various tools for reducing carbon emissions:solar power,wind energy,electric cars,carbon capture,cap-and-trade.But some young urbanites in China have another solution:turn off your personal computer for the weekend,get away from the Internet,and perhaps walk a dog.

Hi DennyHu
i think everyone should do as your idea because our environment is too bad. We must save any energy to reduce carbon emissions. Nowadays, computer plays an important role in modern society.We use computers for work,entertainment,study and so on.We can not leave computer.So i think your idea is good but hard to realize.

Yes,I agree with you idea!
In modern society people spend more time in the office or in front of the computer, they need some outdoor exercise to keep healthy.

Even though we turn off our computer to keep us away from Internet, we go out for a walk or something else, I'm sure that most of us will use their cell phone to access Internet.

I do better than that, I turn my computer off, when I know I am not going to get back to it for at least 12 hours! I do most of my work on the computer, I only use it 25% of the time for personal reasons !

Not a bad idea.But how can some people accept this.Internet has addicted a lot of people and without that they feel incomplete.And some people have daily works with computers and they can't turn off theirs as you told.But you can request them to reduce their activities on week ends.
