When ecological challenges are discussed, people may immediately think of disasters brought by floods, sudden earthquakes, expanding deserts, and disappearing animals. The dangers are real and can bring hardship, yet exaggerated claims can also make people uneasy and make them think that personal destiny cannot be controlled at all. Excessive tree cutting destroys places on which many animals depend for survival, showing that the problem is not distant.
事实上,环境破坏和日常选择有密切关系。从工业和农业两方面的生产,到规模较大的工厂,都会使用资源与能源;煤炭被燃烧时产生的废气若缺少处理设施,就会逐步影响空气和人的健康,汽车排出的尾气也会造成污染。工厂也可以更新设备,减少在生产的每个过程中出现的废水和废物,让经济活动有更长远的基础。
shì shí shàng, huán jìng pòhuài hé rì cháng xuǎn zé yǒu mìqiè guān xì。 cóng gōngyè hé nóngyè liǎng fāng miàn de shēngchǎn, dào guī mó jiào dà de gōngchǎng, dōu huì shǐ yòng zīyuán yǔ néngyuán; méitàn bèi ránshāo shí chǎn shēng de fèi qì ruò quē shǎo chù lǐ shèshī, jiù huì zhúbù yǐng xiǎng kōng qì hé rén de jiàn kāng, qì chē pái chū de wěiqì yě huì zào chéng wū rǎn。 gōngchǎng yě kě yǐ gèng xīn shè bèi, jiǎn shǎo zài shēngchǎn de měi gè guò chéng zhōng chū xiàn de fèi shuǐ hé fèi wù, ràng jīng jì huó dòng yǒu gèng zhǎng yuǎn de jī chǔ。
In fact, environmental damage is closely related to daily choices. Production in industry and agriculture alike, as well as large factories, uses resources and energy. If waste gas produced when coal is burned lacks treatment facilities, it gradually affects the air and human health, and vehicle exhaust also causes pollution. Factories can also update equipment, reduce wastewater and waste appearing at every stage of production, and give economic activity a longer-term foundation.
数据被公布后,能够帮助我们理解问题,却不能代替行动。开车时减少不必要的行程,既能降低车祸风险,也能尽量少用能源;私人生活中的这些小决定,同样值得肯定,我们也应尊敬为环境长期努力的每个人。买东西前问一问是否真的需要,也能减少资源被白白消耗。
shùjù bèi gōngbù hòu, néng gòu bāng zhù wǒ men lǐ jiě wèn tí, què bù néng dài tì xíng dòng。 kāi chē shí jiǎn shǎo bù bì yào de xíng chéng, jì néng jiàng dī chēhuò fēng xiǎn, yě néng jǐnliàng shǎo yòng néngyuán; sīrén shēng huó zhōng de zhè xiē xiǎo jué dìng, tóng yàng zhí dé kěn dìng, wǒ men yě yīng zūnjìng wèi huán jìng zhǎng qī nǔ lì de měi gè rén。 mǎi dōng xī qián wèn yī wèn shì fǒu zhēn de xū yào, yě néng jiǎn shǎo zīyuán bèi bái bái xiāo hào。
Once data are published, they can help us understand a problem, but they cannot replace action. Reducing unnecessary trips by car can lower the risk of accidents and use less energy. Small decisions in private life are also worth recognising, and we should respect those who make a long-term effort for the environment. Asking whether something is really needed before buying it can reduce wasted resources.
有人说自己很幸运,住处离工厂很远,所以不必敏感地关心污染。可是河流、空气和食物不会只停在一个地方。每个人的自觉,都会为社会的长期安全作出一点贡献。孩子在学校学习分类垃圾,往往会把这种习惯带回家庭。
yǒu rén shuō zì jǐ hěn xìngyùn, zhù chù lí gōngchǎng hěn yuǎn, suǒ yǐ bù bì mǐngǎn dì guān xīn wū rǎn。 kě shì hé liú、 kōng qì hé shí wù bù huì zhǐ tíng zài yī gè dì fāng。 měi gè rén de zìjué, dōu huì wèi shè huì de zhǎng qī ān quán zuò chū yī diǎn gòngxiàn。 hái zi zài xué xiào xué xí fēn lèi lā jī, wǎng wǎng huì bǎ zhè zhǒng xí guàn dài huí jiā tíng。
Some people say they are lucky because they live far from factories and therefore need not care sensitively about pollution. Yet rivers, air, and food do not remain in one place. Each person's self-awareness can make a small contribution to society's long-term safety. Children who learn to sort rubbish at school often bring the habit back to their families.
环保并非要求人放弃所有便利,也不是消极地等待别人来解决。我们可以鼓励社区改善回收设施,选择耐用物品,少制造废物,并在条件允许时支持更清洁的生产方式。看见邻居的好做法时,一句鼓舞也能让更多人愿意尝试。
huán bǎo bìng fēi yào qiú rén fàng qì suǒ yǒu biàn lì, yě bù shì xiāojí dì děng dài bié rén lái jiě jué。 wǒ men kě yǐ gǔ lì shè qū gǎi shàn huí shōu shèshī, xuǎn zé nài yòng wù pǐn, shǎo zhì zào fèi wù, bìng zài tiáo jiàn yǔn xǔ shí zhī chí gèng qīng jié de shēngchǎn fāng shì。 kàn jiàn lín jū de hǎo zuò fǎ shí, yī jù gǔwǔ yě néng ràng gèng duō rén yuàn yì cháng shì。
Environmental protection does not require giving up every convenience, nor does it mean waiting passively for others to solve the problem. We can encourage communities to improve recycling facilities, choose durable goods, create less waste, and support cleaner production when possible. One encouraging word about a neighbour's good practice can also make more people willing to try.
真正的改变来自持续而具体的实践。不要把守护我们共同的地球当成遥远的幻想;我们可以从今天开始节约一度电、少浪费一份资源,也少用一次性用品、照顾身边树木。愿意承担的人越多,未来就越可能稳定而有希望。
zhēn zhèng de gǎi biàn lái zì chí xù ér jù tǐ de shí jiàn。 bù yào bǎ shǒu hù wǒ men gòng tóng de dì qiú dāng chéng yáo yuǎn de huànxiǎng; wǒ men kě yǐ cóng jīn tiān kāi shǐ jié yuē yī dù diàn、 shǎo làng fèi yī fèn zīyuán, yě shǎo yòng yī cì xìng yòng pǐn、 zhào gù shēn biān shù mù。 yuàn yì chéng dān de rén yuè duō, wèi lái jiù yuè kě néng wěn dìng ér yǒu xī wàng。
Real change comes from sustained and concrete practice. We should not treat caring for our shared Earth as a distant fantasy. Starting today, we can save a unit of electricity and waste one less resource, use fewer disposable items, and care for nearby trees. The more people are willing to take responsibility, the more stable and hopeful the future can become.
