Low-carbon Transformation for Households

What is “low carbon”, and how can we save energy? These are not just concepts, but calls to action, and this project aims to help transform home environments and equipment, as well as habits, so that less power and water are used, solar energy is installed, kitchen waste is composted, and so on. This video course covers both theory and practice in 14 lectures totalling 350 minutes. It has been named a key national audio-visual publication and a part of the 13th Five-year Plan, and gained the support of the National Publishing Fund in 2017.

In these video courses, the problems are raised by parents and discussed with renowned teachers, who offer instruction in relation to understanding, respect, responsibility, criticism and praise, self-control, autism, and other topics, to teach parents how to solve problems and understand the laws of the growth and education of children. The video course consists of 9 episodes covering 270 minutes, and has been named a key national audio-visual publication, and part of the 13th Five-year Plan.
