The philosophy and spirit of German Jühnde Village, the biomass energy plant, and the voluntary participation of carbon reduction from daily life supported by the public, are estimated to reduce carbon dioxide emission using different low-carbon measures. The result is then compared with the greenhouse gas produced by the Town. Research studies show that the greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural department mainly come from methane emission in rice cultivation, nitrous oxide emissions in agricultural soils (use of fertilizers), and methane emissions from livestock enteric fermentation; other greenhouse gas emissions of family department mainly come from transportation and electricity consumption. During the period from 2007~2009, the greenhouse gas emission from Town A averaged about 64,703 tons/year and 3.88 tons per capita per year. Taking into consideration of factors such as the greenhouse gas emission from Town A, agricultural waste and pollution reduction, and levels of cooperation in public, nine reduction measures have been chosen as the actions taken for greenhouse gas reduction. Taking 2009 as the base year, the reduction effectiveness of implementing various measures are estimated for 2012, 2015 and 2020, with the results showing that the total carbon dioxide reduction for 2020 is 46,277 tons/year, accounting approximately 72.09% of the total greenhouse gas emissions in 2009. The no-regrets approach to carbon reduction among the various measures yields the most reduction amount in carbon dioxide. In the example of 2020, the reduction accounts approximately 54.6% of the total carbon dioxide reduction and only change of living habits could easily achieve such carbon reduction benefits. In contrast, measure of promoting tree planning in public yields the least carbon reduction, which accounts for only 0.4% of total carbon dioxide reduction.
