河南省漯河市高级中学2017届高三5月月考英语试题
Recently actor Adrien Grenier has launched(发动)a campaign to reduce the amount of single-use plastic usage in order to protect and save marine (海洋的)wildlife and the environment. Plastic drinking straws are among many single-use plastic products contributing to the great loss of marine life, but they're a great place to start because they're something that are used by millions of Americans who are unaware that they're so damaging.
Americans use more than 500 million straws daily, which is enough to fill 127 school buses each day and they can't be recycled. That means plastic straws might end up in oceans, where fish and other marine wildlife mistake the small bits for food and swallow them. After seeing a photo of a beached whale with a belly full of plastic, Grenier felt the inspiration to launch the Lonely Whale Foundation, hoping to inspire and educate others on the challenges faced by marine wildlife.
Along with stopping the use of straws, Grenier hopes to educate consumer on the dangers of other single-use plastic items such as grocery bags and water bottles. While many Americans use these plastic products in their daily life, there are many alternatives that can help protect the environment such as straws made from stainless steel, glass, and even bamboo instead of plastic.
In addition to quitting your straw habit, you can further help the environment by taking the I Choose to Reuse commitment, and stop your use of single-use coffee cups, checkout bags and bottled water. Instead, take advantage of any number of alternative reusable products.
Need another reason to stop drinking from straws? Grenier also says using straws can cause wrinkles!

Join us for any of the Kestrel Sundays! Together, we will safely explore the nature and build lasting friendships with each other and stay in the village where the children have enriched each summer at camp. Children walk away from Kestrel feeling at home in nature and at home in themselves. Each day begins with a morning circle where thanksgiving, songs and games bring us further into our bodies. The days are filled with nature-based games that expand our awareness, storytelling from skilled instructors and visiting elders, songs inspired by nature's beauty, exploring the forest and looking for mysteries, sculpting clay, and wandering the caves. At the end of the day, with leaf and flower on our heads,our faces painted and smiles on our faces, we'll return! Kestrel is where your child will: Play and explore the beautiful outdoors. Experience and practice a variety of wilderness skills and native technology. Practice awareness, quiet-mind, animal forms, curiosity, exploration, telling the story of the day, and gratitude. Face personal and group challenges tailored to build awareness, self-confidence and group unity. Our Kestrel instructors are experts in guiding children to safety and freely move in the direction of their own curiosity. |
