The word “low-carbon” sounds familiar to most of us. But do you know “low-carbon community”? What is the community like? What benefits (好处) will it bring to our environment? Let’s have a look at Hanbei Road Community of Ya’an, Sichuan Province.
Walking into the community, people can see the hanging environmental slogans (环保标语) at first sight. And the most eye-catching items are idle bins (闲置物品投放箱) around. Many people in the community would give their idle things into the bins. Xu Juan, a mother of two, once put a pair of gloves there. “I think it’s meaningful to help others.”
In order to encourage more people to join in the “low-carbon” activity, the community introduced a reward program. Anyone can get some points if he/she gives idle things or takes part in volunteer activities. With certain points, people can exchange things in the “low-carbon supermarket” in the community.
There is also an “exchange corner” in the community. People can exchange their idle things with others. If he/she is not interested in any idle things in the corner, he/she can donate his/her things to poor families in the community.

A new word is becoming more and more popular on the Internet in China - but no one knows quite what it means.The word "duang" is so new that you can’t even find it in the Chinese dictionary.
