Every minute, every single day, about a truckload of plastic enters our oceans. And to date, only 9%of that has been recycled.
We buy a bottle of water, drink it for a few minutes, and toss its permanent packaging "away". We eat potato chips, finish them, then throw their permanent packaging "away". We buy produce, take it out of the unnecessary plastic wrap, then throw its permanent packaging "away".
The cycle is endless, and it happens countless times every single day. As far as we try to toss a piece of plastic—whether it's into a recycling bin or not——it does not disappear. Chances are, it ends up polluting our communities, oceans or waterways in some form.
For years, we've been told the problem of plastic packaging can be solved through batter individual action. But the truth is that we cannot recycle our way out of this mess.
Recycling alone will never stop the flow of plastics into our oceans;we have to get to the source of the problem and slow down the production of all this plastic waste. Think about it: if your home was flooding because you had left the tap on, your first step wouldn't be to start mopping. You'd first cut the flooding off at its source—the tap.
We need corporations—those like Coca-Cola, Unilever, Starbucks and Neatlé that continue to produce throwaway plastic bottles—to step up and take their responsibility for the mess they've created. We will continue to do our part, but it's time for the world's largest corporations to do theirs.
A. This is their problem to deal with.
B. Plastic pollution is becoming very serious.
C. But here is the problem—there is no "away".
D. In many ways, our plastic problem is no different.
E. We think that if we simply recycle we're doing our part.
F. It's impossible for us to get rid of plastic pollution completely.
G. Since the 1950s, some 8. 3bn tons of plastic have been produced worldwide.
It is impossible to know when you might find yourself lost in a forest. If you know what to do, you can survive in a forest without much trouble; but if you are not prepared, survival can be much less likely.
Keep fear at bay
It is completely natural to be afraid when you are faced with a survival situation. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} The more your fear overcomes you, the lower your chances are of survival, as your mind is going to become clouded and panic may set in.
Stay warm
Obviously, the low body temperature is one of the primary dangers you face when you must survive in the forest{#blank#}2{#/blank#} Never stop to sleep or quit moving around unless you have appropriate shelter.
Know how to make a fire
Obviously , if you have a lighter or matches, this is not a problem. But if not, you can attempt to use a dry narrow pointed stick and a dry flat piece of wood. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} This requires a great deal of work, but if done correctly, you will succeed.
Make some shelter
{#blank#}4{#/blank#} The easiest way to provide protection is to find a fallen tree and cover it with other branches and brush so that you can stay in the natural pit underneath the tree trunk.This is a very important aspect of being able to survive in the forest.
Stay put unless you know exactly where you are
If you can build a stable shelter and start a fire, you can survive in the forest for several days. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} If you know where you are, travel as far as possible during the day while making sure you stop long enough before dark so that you can build another shelter.
A. Soon you will find that it's not that difficult to survive in the forest. B. However, if you are going to survive in the forest, you must keep your thoughts clear. C. Make as much friction(摩擦) as possible by rubbing the pointed stick along the flat piece. D. It is better to stay and wait for rescue. E. Under no circumstances should we fight with the wild animals. F. Caves and overhangs are perfect, but most likely you must build your own. G. It is crucial that you do all you can to stay dry and keep your body temperature up. |
A. Dress right B. Keep warm. C. Don't go too fast, too soon. D. Start and finish in the same way. E. Don't wait to drink water until you feel thirsty. F. Head out into the wind and come home with it at your back. G. On really cold days, wear a mask or scarf over your mouth to protect your face. |
It is not as simple as opening the door and hitting the track in winter. There are a few things you can do to ensure you are getting the most out of your run, and, importantly, not doing more harm than good.
Warm up, cool down
{#blank#}1{#/blank#} Your muscles need some time to warm up when it's cold so take it easy when you set off and do a few stretches (伸展) once you're finished.
Drink water
You might not feel hot, but that's because sweat evaporates (蒸发) more quickly into the chilly, dry air. So be sure to drink water before, during and after cold-weather workouts. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} A belt bottle conveniently attaches to your waist so you don't have to carry it and can have a drink whenever you feel like it.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}
Running in cotton is a bad idea. Wear thin, breathable layers of synthetic (合成的) clothing that help protect you from the wind and snow, but still let out heat and moisture (水分).Thirty percent of your body heat escapes through your hands and forty percent through your head. Wear a hat, or beanie (无边小便帽), and gloves so your circulatory system can distribute warm blood to the rest of your body. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}
Run into the wind
{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Obviously, it will be an easier passage home with some extra help from Mother Nature. But, more importantly, you won't have the wind in your face for the second half of your run, when you are more likely to be sweating and catch a chill.
