Following in the footsteps of "Brother Sharp" is another Chinese Web celebrity. Living a low-carbon lifestyle has earned him the name "Brother Low-carbon," and he also claims that he "has no house, no car and no wife, and such a life is an absolute low-carbon one."

Recently, a post recording a normal day in the life of "Brother Low-carbon" is getting popular on the Internet. A series of pictures shot by his roommate makes netizens feel he deserves the nickname perfectly.

In the morning, he uses 100 milliliters of water to brush his teeth and a half basin of water to wash his face. After cleaning his face, he usually keeps the water to wash his feet at night. He unplugs all electronic equipment before riding a bike to work.

At the office, he recycled a plastic bottle, which his colleague had emptied, and made it into a simple pen container. After work, he bought materials to cook himself and saved the vegetable-cleaning water to brush bowls. At night, he does not turn on the light to watch TV and minimizes illumination to save electricity.
