(2022保定摸拟)A new UN report is set to reveal that up to one million species face
extinction because of human actions.We are causing a mass extinction event,and critically we
cannot separate one environmental crisis from another.Biodiversity loss cannot be separated
from climate change,or from human population growth or pollution or plastics in our
oceans.These challenges are all interconnected.If we continue to consider these problems
separately,solutions will continue to emerge far too slowly.
The connections between these crises make solutions seem all too difficult.But in fact,a
solution to one problem will inevitably make a positive impact on many others too.More than
28,000 people are dying because of polluted air each year in Britain and air pollution is linked
to psychotic(精神病的experiences and a reduction in educational achievement..It's not rocket
science:improving air quality in our cities by cutting polluting vehicles will bring a vast range
of benefits to human health,and help deal with climate change too.
George Monbiot advocates taking land out of food production and rewilding it.This will
not only boost biodiversity enormously but will also deal with global warming because those
rewilded,rewetted lands will capture significantly more carbon.If these lands are also opened
up for us to enjoy,our physical and mental health will flourish.Thus we repair the ecology of
destruction.
It can be difficult to know what we can do as individuals-but at least we all possess an
increased understanding of how farming,consumption and energy-use impact upon the
planet.If everyone makes a small change,that will make a difference to our planet.
We're not struggling to find ideas to solve problems either globally or locally.It's action
that we're lacking,in government and beyond,as individuals and together as a species.If we
act now we may be surprised at how these seemingly vast problems d
