选修六Unit4 WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING? 关于全球变暖，我们能干些什么呢？
Dear Earth Care, 亲爱的“关爱地球”组织：
I am doing a project on behalf of my school about global warming. 我正代表学校做一项关于全球变暖的课题研究。 Sometimes I feel that individuals can have little effect on such huge environmental problems. 有时候我觉得，像这样一个巨大的环境问题，个人是起不了什么作用的。However, I still think people should advocate improvements in the way we use energy today. 然而我仍然认为人们应该支持改善日常能源的消耗方式。As I'm not sure where to start with my project, 由于我还不清楚我该从哪里着手开始我的研究。I would appreciate any suggestions you may have. 我希望能得到你们的建议。 Thank you! 谢谢！ Ouyang Guang欧阳光
Dear Ouyang Guang, 亲爱的欧阳光：
There are many people who have a commitment like yours, but they do not believe they have the power to do anything to improve our environment. 有许多人承担你这样的义务，而他们不相信自己有能力来影响环境。That is not true. 这种想法是不正确的。 Together, individuals can make a difference. 众人拾柴火焰高。 We do not have to put up with pollution.我们不必去忍受污染。
The growth of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide in the air actually comes as a result of many things we do every day. 空气中的温室气体，二氧化碳的增长的确是来自我们许多的日常活动。Here are a few suggestions on how to reduce it. 这儿有几条关于减少空气中二氧化碳含量的建议。 They should get you started with your project. 这些建议应当能够促进你的研究。
1 We use a lot of energy in our houses. It is OK to leave an electrical appliance on so long as you are using it - if not, turn it off! Do not be casual about this. So if you are not using the lights, the TV, the computer, and so on, turn them off. If you are cold, put on more clothes instead of turning up the heat.
1. 在室内我们会用大量的能源。在用电器设备时你可以让它开着，如果不用就把它关掉！如果你觉得冷了，就多穿点衣服，而不是把暖气开大。
2 Motor vehicles use a lot of energy- so walk or ride a bike if you can.
2. 机动车要用大量的能源。因此，只要可能，你就步行或骑自行车吧。
3 Recycle cans, bottles, plastic bags and newspapers if circumstances allow you to. It takes a lot of energy to make things from new materials, so, if you can, buy things made from recycled materials.
3. 把罐头盒、瓶子、塑料袋和报纸回收利用起来。用新材料来做这些东西要花费大量的能源，因此，只要有可能，就买那些用回收材料制成的物品吧。
4 Get your parents to buy things that are economical with energy - this includes cars as well as smaller things like fridges and microwaves.
4. 劝你的父母去买那些节约能源的产品，包括汽车和像冰箱、微波炉之类的小件物品。 5 Plant trees in your garden or your school yard, as they absorb carbon dioxide from the air and refresh your spirit when you look at them.
5. 在你的花园或校园里栽种树木，它们能吸收空气中的二氧化碳，还能在你观赏的时候使你感觉清爽。
6 Finally and most importantly, be an educator. Talk with your family and friends about global warming and tell them what you have learned.
6. 最后，也是最重要的是，做一个教育者。同你的家人和朋友谈一谈全球变暖的问题，并把你学到的东西告诉他们。
Remember - your contribution counts! Earth Care
记住，你的贡献是很有价值的。 “关爱地球”组织
