Chapter 8: The Green Path
I turned off the tap1 while brushing my teeth, and used a tissue2 instead of paper towels. I thought about the ocean3 filled with plastic, the smog4 that turns skies grey, and the expanding desert5.
These are global6 issues, intensified by industrial7 activities, leading to species extinction8. The solution9 lies in saving electricity10, using public transport11, and learning to recycle12 old batteries13.
Reducing carbon14 emissions is key to restoring the balance15 of nature. I decided to do my part for16 the planet. In my small flat17, I planted herbs and watched the roots18 and shoots19 grow.
I wasn't bothered20 by the extra work; I wasn't bothered to21 complain either. I rejected just-me-ism22 and started measuring my water use in gallons23. It was time to take action24. I joined an environmental institute25 that studied chimpanzees26 and other wildlife.
The firm27 foundation28 of our work was like a brick29 wall, built by people all around the world30. Even a dog wagging31 its tail seemed to involve32 a simple joy. We put up posters33 everywhere.
Our founder34, a former teacher, didn't care about profit35. We held meetings at 2 pm36 every Friday; I was the main organiser37. We formed a union38 with other groups. I felt contented39 when positive changes occurred40.
I wanted to make my dream come true41 — to promote green agriculture42. I wrote a proposal43 for my region44, though the chance of success was slim45. The survival46 of our planet depends on the rate47 of our actions. I often quote48 a line from a headstone49: "We inherit the earth from our ancestors."
I had to overcome50 my fears with determination51. I needed to work through52 my anxiety. My former53 colleagues and current54 partners in the county55 were just ordinary56 people, but we made a difference.
We reduced parking57 lots and created green spaces; therefore58, we built a path59 for future generations. I came up with60 a plan to make single-use plastics disappear61. Using tracking62 devices, we monitored waste from source to destination63.
I learned to pedal64 a bike to work, inspiring other residents65. Local officials66 changed their attitude67 after seeing our diagram68 showing the percentage69 of waste reduced. They encouraged more people to take part in70 our campaign.
We asked everyone to cut back on71 disposable72 items and excessive packaging73. We replaced plastic74 containers with glass ones. We even made our own honey75, butter76, and yoghurt77, storing them in reusable containers78.
The majority79 of households reduced their air conditioning80 use. To sum81 up our efforts, to sum up82, the data indicates83 a positive trend. We avoided sending waste to the landfill84 by using clean-burning85 and waste-to-energy86 technologies.
Even our footwear87 was made from recycled materials. Annually88, we saved thousands of tons of waste. The near-surface89 water quality improved, and the build-up90 of pollutants91 decreased. Heavy rains no longer caused severe flooding92, and the rivers didn't overflow93 their banks.
We proved that green living is not just a dream, but a reality we can build together.

第八章:绿色之路
我刷牙时关掉水龙头(tap1),用纸巾(tissue2)代替纸毛巾。我想起了满是塑料的海洋(ocean3)、使天空变灰的雾霾(smog4)和不断扩大的沙漠(desert5)。
这些都是全球的(global6)问题,因工业的(industrial7)活动而加剧,导致物种灭绝(extinction8)。解决办法(solution9)在于节约电(electricity10)、使用公共交通系统(transport11),并学会回收利用(recycle12)旧电池(batteries13)。
减少碳(carbon14)排放是恢复自然平衡(balance15)的关键。我决定尽自己所能(do my part for16)保护地球。在我狭小的公寓(flat17)里,我种了药草,观察树根(roots18)和嫩芽(shoots19)的生长。
我不担心(wasn't bothered20)额外的工作;我也懒得(wasn't bothered to21)抱怨。我摒弃了以自我为中心(just-me-ism22),开始以加仑(gallons23)为单位测量用水量。是时候采取行动(take action24)了。我加入了一个研究黑猩猩(chimpanzees26)和其他野生动物的环境机构(institute25)。
我们工作的坚实(firm27)基础(foundation28)就像砖(brick29)墙,由全世界(all around the world30)的人们共同建造。连一只摇(wagging31)尾巴的狗都似乎包含(involve32)着简单的快乐。我们到处张贴海报(posters33)。
我们的创办人(founder34),一位前教师,不在乎盈利(profit35)。我们每周五下午2点(pm36)开会;我是主要组织者(organiser37)。我们与其他团体组成了联合会(union38)。当积极变化发生(occurred40)时,我感到满意(contented39)。
我想让梦想成真(make my dream come true41)——推广绿色农业(agriculture42)。我为所在地区(region44)写了一份建议(proposal43),尽管成功的可能性微小(slim45)。地球的幸存(survival46)取决于我们行动的比率(rate47)。我常常引用(quote48)一块墓碑(headstone49)上的话:"我们从祖先那里继承地球。"
我必须用决心(determination51)克服(overcome50)恐惧。我需要处理(work through52)焦虑。我以前的(former53)同事和当前(current54)在县(county55)里的伙伴都是普通的(ordinary56)人,但我们带来了改变。我们减少了停车(parking57)区域并创造了绿地;因此(therefore58),我们为后代铺就了一条小径(path59)。
我想出了(came up with60)一个让一次性塑料消失(disappear61)的计划。我们利用跟踪(tracking62)设备,监控废物从源头到目的地(destination63)的整个过程。我学会骑(pedal64)自行车上班,这激励了其他居民(residents65)。
当地官员(officials66)在看到我们的图解(diagram68)显示了废物减少的百分比(percentage69)后,改变了他们的态度(attitude67)。他们鼓励更多人参加(take part in70)我们的活动。我们要求大家削减(cut back on71)一次性的(disposable72)物品和过多的包装(packaging73)。
我们用玻璃容器替换了塑料的(plastic74)容器。我们甚至自己制作蜂蜜(honey75)、黄油(butter76)和酸奶(yoghurt77),储存在可重复使用的容器(containers78)里。大多数(majority79)家庭减少了空调(air conditioning80)的使用。
要概括(sum81)我们的努力,总之(to sum up82),数据表明(indicates83)了积极趋势。我们通过使用清洁焚烧的(clean-burning85)和以垃圾为能源的(waste-to-energy86)技术,避免将废物送往填埋场(landfill84)。连我们的鞋类(footwear87)都由回收材料制成。
每年(Annually88),我们节省了数千吨废物。近地表的(near-surface89)水质改善了,污染物(pollutants91)的增长(build-up90)减少了。暴雨不再引发严重的水灾(flooding92),河流也不再泛滥(overflow93)河岸。我们证明了绿色生活不仅是一个梦想,更是我们可以共同建设的现实。
