Easy Ways to Green up Your Life
① Eating meat produces greenhouse gas emissions(排放). If you can't give up meat completely, you can reduce your consumption or give up beef. Don't eat out-of-season farm products. They are grown in greenhouses. A lot of energy goes into heating the greenhouses. And shipping such out-of-season farm products by air from remote places consumes huge amount of energy, too. Just look for local and in-season foods.
② Spend less time behind the wheel,cycle and walk more, and use public transport more. If you have to drive, the first thing is to choose a car that uses comparatively less fuel. Besides, stick to the speed limit,keep your tires properly filled with air, empty your trunk of heavy items, and accelerate and brake gently.
③ Want to take a vacation trip by plane? Don’t hurry. Think again. Air travel has a big impact on the environment compared with most other forms of travel. You have better choices. Consider having a vacation within driving distance. Of course, taking the train is the best choice.
④ Think about how much “stuff” you own. A big part of emissions are linked to our consumption. To reduce it we need a change in consumption culture. Do we really need all the things we buy? And do we always need the newest one? Getting fewer things and making the ones you own last longer will reduce energy use.
⑤ Your choices about heating and cooling your home are some of the most important things you can do in terms of cutting your greenhouse gas emissions. Keeping the temperature a little lower in the winter and higher in the summer can make a big difference.

【文章大意】绿化生活的简单方法
① 吃肉会产生温室气体排放(排放)。如果不能完全戒掉肉类,可以减少食用量或戒掉牛肉。不要吃反季节的农产品。它们生长在温室中。大量能源用于加热温室。而从偏远地区空运这种反季节农产品也需要消耗大量能源。只需寻找当地和应季食品。
② 少开车,多骑自行车和步行,多使用公共交通工具。如果一定要开车,首先要选择油耗比较少的车。此外,要坚持限速,保持轮胎适当充气,清空行李箱中的重物,并轻轻加速和刹车。
③ 想坐飞机去度假?不要着急。再想想。与大多数其他形式的旅行相比,航空旅行对环境的影响很大。你有更好的选择。考虑在驾车距离内度假。当然,坐火车是最好的选择。
④ 想想你拥有多少“东西”。很大一部分排放与我们的消费有关。为了减少它,我们需要改变消费文化。我们真的需要我们购买的所有东西吗?我们总是需要最新的吗?少买一些东西并让拥有的东西更持久将减少能源使用。
⑤ 你对房屋供暖和制冷的选择是你在减少温室气体排放方面可以做的一些最重要的事情。在冬天保持温度稍低,在夏天保持更高的温度会产生很大的不同。
【选项释义】
A.从汽车后备箱
B.你的房间温度
C.假期旅行
D.增加温室气体产量
E.减少能源使用
F.你的水资源消耗
【答案】D
