摘要
早在1924年,来自世界各地的29个国家参加了在意大利米兰举办的第一届国际储蓄银行大会,会上,意大利教授Filippo Ravizza倡议大会的最后一天(10月31日)为"国际节能日"。之后,大会通过决议决定,创立一个致力于促进全世界共同勤俭节约的"世界勤俭日"。这是世界对勤俭的一种呼唤。"历览前朝国与家,成由勤俭败由奢。"唐朝婉约派诗人李商隐的这一句诗并不"婉约",一言概括了节俭于国于家的重大意义。节俭是中华民族的传统美德,贤哲伟人推崇它,那是一粥一饭,当思来之不易,半丝半缕,恒念物力维艰;现代文明推崇它,那是对有限资源的珍视,对过度消费的抵制。无论是我们从前说的节约,还是如今在倡导的低碳,殊途同归都是为了节俭。但随着人们生活条件的逐步提高,浪费现象也越来越严重,一些饭店、家庭、学校等浪费现象随处可见。而现代化的工业生产、人们的日常生活每天都要消耗比以往更多的能源,各种资源日益枯竭,节能减排已经是一个迫在眉睫的国际性主题!
October 31 is the World Thrift Day,on which the world calls for thrift.The so-called previous frugality or the present low-carbon both means "thrift".With the improvement of people’s life,lavishment can be seen everywhere,such as in restaurants,families and schools,and it is becoming more and more serious.More energy is consumed than ever before due to the modern industrialization and people’s daily usage.Resources are increasingly exhausted.Energy-saving and emission-reduction has become a burning international theme.
