3、he PlanetWhen it comes to my tree-hugging acquaintances and ecofriendly neighbors, I am considered an eco-dinosaur. Why? Because I do wicked things like eat meat, own a car, and, gallingly, refuse to feel guilty about them. I also dont tut-tut disapprovingly at “that co-worker“ who prints out every

4、e-mail.

I take public transportation, recycle plastic bags, and use CFL (节能灯) bulbs. I

5、 do worry about polar bears and global warming, and toxic messes, but I dont use my concerns to push people into doing whats “right“. The simple reason: I dont want to be an eco-hypocrite(环保伪君子). If you think you dont know what that means, trust me, you do.Im talking about the type of people (I mean

6、 you ,Laurie David) who never waste an opportunity to tell the rest of us how the world is going to hell thanks to inappropriately disposed batteries and energy-sucking light bulbs, while often breaking eco-rules themselves. They do that because its impossible not to break the rules, given that some

7、 of the things that hurt the environment most are ones we all depend on. Dont believe me? Check out a few examples of things we-eco-hypocrites included-should do if we really want to help this planet.Get Rid of TrashRidding a city of waste is not as farfetched as it sounds. San Francisco has already

8、 vowed to go waste-free by 2020, and has set up one of the most aggressive recycling programs in the nation. It may seem like a daydream, but all properties are required to recycle and compost(制成堆肥). Thats right, the entire city does not throw away food scraps, soiled paper, or plants-more than 62 0

9、00 tons since the program began in 2009. Recology San Francisco, the citys waste-management department, will even pick up large items and clothes. For other places that could use some help going green, Greenercities. org offers a tool kit to help each community identify local priorities and develop

10、a plan. Stop DrivingI know, it sounds drastic, but so does destroying the earth. Americans and their cars emit more carbon dioxide than the entire economy of any other nation except China, and US auto driving gobbles seven out of every 10 barrels of oil we consume. “The US is the owner of the worlds

11、 ,largest transportation system, and reducing emissions from this system is critical to an effective green house gas reduction strategy,“ says Eileen Claussen, president of the Pew Center on Global Climate Change. Cities such as San Diego, New York, and Boston are already promoting a low-car diet. I

12、nstead of reflexively hopping into the car, people are encouraged to take buses or trolleys(电车), get on a bike, or just walk. New York has built miles of new bike lanes, while San Diego and Boston are pushing people to give up their cars altogether and use Zipcar services when a car is necessary. Su

Watch Your WaterThis means more than turning off the sink when youre brushing your teeth. While water is (for the most part) plentif

14、ul in the US, thats not the case everywhere in the world. Unpolluted fresh water is a finite resource and is increasingly in demand as the human population grows. Right now, the worlds supply is being drained faster than nature can replenish it, and the UN predicts that demand will exceed supply by

15、at least 30 percent in 2040. Along with the environment, this is already affecting food supplies. Want more information on whats being done and how you can help? Organizations like the World Water Council are a good place to start. Push for Cleaner SkiesAccording to a USA Today article, on a flight

16、from New York to Denver a commercial jet generates from “840 to 1660 pounds of carbon dioxide per passenger. Thats about what an SUV ( sport utility vehicle) generates in a month“. Should we all stop flying? Not necessarily. One solution thats been offered by the Union of Concerned Scientists, an or

17、ganization dedicated to halting carbon emissions, is the use of bio jet fuel. “Its time to get this industry back on track by launching a program to produce the first billion gallons of clean, cellulosic biofuels,“ says Jeremy Martin, senior scientist with the UCSs Clean Vehicles Program. “Done righ

18、t, cellulosic biofuels could curb Americas oil dependence, reduce carbon pollution, and generate new economic opportunities across rural America. “ The Federal Aviation Administration sees some value in this and is working with the commercial airline industry to develop appropriate feed stocks that

19、can be efficiently processed into jet fuel.Buy LessWe have too much stuff. If you want numbers to prove it, here they are. According to the National Organization of Professional Organizers (yes, thats real), Americans spend more than a year of their lives looking for lost items buried in their piles

20、 of things. We also chuck(扔掉) about 25 percent of our groceries. As it is, the World Wildlife Federations “Living Planet 2010“ report states that “even with UN projections for modest population growth, consumption and climate change, by 2030 humanity will need the capacity of two Earths to absorb CO
