2 . There are many places to see lovely giant pandas in China. But where is the best place for you to go for a special panda trip? What is the best time to go? Here are some recommendations.

If you just want to see giant pandas, we recommend you to go to Chengdu Panda Breeding and Research Base. It is the most easily accessible panda base. You can see pandas at different ages. This base is huge but usually crowded.

If you are looking for a deeper panda experience, you can join a panda volunteer program. Giant panda volunteer programs are available in three panda bases: Dujiangyan, Wolong, and Bifengxia. They take about 1 to 3 days or longer. Dujiangyan is the best place for a one-day program. If you want a less-crowded environment, consider Wolong and Bifengxia, though they require 2 or more days. Your work would include weighing and cleaning bamboo, making panda cakes, watching pandas being fed, and cleaning pandas’ enclosures (围场). At the end of the program, you will receive a panda keeper certificate.

Giant pandas don’t go into winter sleep. You can visit them in all four seasons. Spring and autumn are the best times to see pandas when they are most active and temperatures are most comfortable. If you visit between August and November, you will probably see lovely panda babies.

Giant pandas spend almost half their time sleeping. Grown-up giant pandas in captivity (圈养) usually eat twice a day: early in the morning and late in the afternoon. They usually sleep around noon, any time from around 10:00 a. m. to around 2:00 p. m. We recommend you to get to a panda base as early as possible, when it is less crowded and the pandas are at their most active.

Ways to Cut Your Carbon Footprint

Our carbon footprint, which drives more global warming, is connected with everything we produce, eat and buy. There are dozens of things we can do to reduce it.

    1    

About one-third of all food gets wasted every year. Producing food that won’t be eaten wastes valuable resources, including energy. It also creates a lot of greenhouse gases. If we don’t buy what we don’t need, we could cut our food carbon footprint by 12 percent.

    2    

People who use traditional vehicles can make up the largest part of carbon footprint. That’s why people should walk more, ride bikes or take public transportation. If you use your car, consider an electric vehicle（EV）. Once they hit the roads, EVs don’t emit planet-warming gases.

    3    

Everything we buy also contributes to our carbon footprint. So a key way to lessen the footprint is to buy fewer new things. Shopping for the second-hand goods cuts much pollution. Next best is to extend the life of your products. Recycle wherever you can.

A. Buy less new stuff
B. Reduce food waste
C. Eat plant-based foods
D. Green your travel
