27、Nowadays people tend to digitalise everything from watches to fridges. It seems you can choose any item labeled as “smart”. 【1】. However, there are plenty that can be used to reduce emissions and save money.
If you’re a part of the digitalisation movement,you might be interested in the concept of smart homes. It means that every element of your house can be controlled from a panel on the wall or your phone.【2】. Use your mobile to power them on or off,and you may feel truly modern or truly lazy. Aside from the benefits of living a more comfortable life, this presents an opportunity to cut down on your electrical bills.
Electricity generation today represents 31% of total global fossil fuel use and around 40% of all energy-related CO2 emissions.【3】 It is considered as the first step to prevent global climate change. Connect a smart thermometer to the heating and cooling system and set a specific temperature at which the heating begins to work. Doing so, the room will be at a desired temperature when necessary and switches on a power-saving mode when not occupied. Similarly, by installing a CO2 sensor, you can have an automated ventilation (通风) system.【4】.
In a 150,000m2 office complex near Munich, called Campeon, energy costs of up to 117,067 Euro were saved after the use of environmental control devices this year. In this way, they are contributing to a large decrease in CO2 emissions. Clearly, smart homes are about much more than just living a comfortable life.【5】.

Kites also have strings attached to the bone or structures. 【5】. There’s a tail, a ribbon or string at the end that helps control the body. And of course there’s the flying line, the string that runs from the kite’s string to the person on the ground.

So far this has ______ things like keeping my house a little bit ______, spending more time with my dog and even dropping a few pounds. My _________ has been to focus on taking small steps every day.
I’m now making ______ toward those goals without feeling ______ pressured or disappointed that I haven’t done more.
