肉食是當前地球暖化急速惡化的最大主因之一。 畜牧業及肉食習慣已為地球帶來長遠的不良影響,聯合國糧農組織指出:「畜牧業是造成嚴重環境危機三大主要元兇之ㄧ!」畜牧業目前佔用了地球30%的土地,不僅造成全球暖化與生態危機,更造成全球糧食危機與糧價高漲。
全球有 10 億人其實連乾淨的水都喝不到,每天平均有 3000 位兒童因喝到受污染的水而死亡。如果瓶裝水真正是為人類的需求而生,應該是送去給這些需要水的地方,而不是在自來水普及的地區畫蛇添足。 瓶裝水陪伴我們度過了許多年頭,參與了各式會議、研討會、甚至是廟會等,但在了解到它背後所代表的龐大碳足跡 ,以及對資源的浪費後,也許是對瓶裝水說不的時候了。 至少,你該堅持,在能用自己的杯子,盛上一杯乾淨飲水的地方,就少開一罐瓶裝水吧!
到底是在搶什麼包包,讓大家搶到火氣十足、你推我擠還痛哭流涕? 原來是南台灣一家百貨公司,推出名牌環保包包Anya Hindmarch的限量搶購,貨真價實的名牌環保包只賣五百元,台灣限量785個,一轉手就可以賣到六七千元台幣,加上好萊塢與明星的背書加持,這樣造成流行話題的時尚熱潮,難怪好趕熱潮的台灣人,怎不搶破頭?
The bags, which read “I’m not a plastic bag,” are intended to be used and reused for groceries, in place of plastic. Whole Foods is selling 20,000, first come first served, limit three to a customer while supplies last. If offerings of the bag in other cities are any guide, the lines will be long. A stampede of would-be purchasers in Taiwan in June sent 30 people to the hospital and required the riot police. A similar outpouring in Hong Kong caused no injuries, but the police closed down the shopping mall. “Apparently they are not used to queuing,” Ms. Hindmarch said last week from a hotel in Tokyo, where she had just finished the latest offering of her bag. To avoid more riots, future events in Southeast Asia will take place on the Internet.
台灣搶購物袋的新聞在紐約時報也有提耶!
We will use the images for publication in local Russian newspapers and broadcasts on local television. It will be essential to show the ‘Amur leopard conservation emblem’ on flags, T-shirts, etcetera. Seeing the familiar emblem being used in Europe or the USA will not fail to make a big impression on the local Russian villagers! It will make them realise that their leopard is special and worth protecting!
棲息地在中蘇蒙古邊界的黑龍江豹,已面臨滅絕的極危險邊緣,全球僅剩不到30隻野生,且母豹更少到剩6隻左右。量少到很難自然生育繁衍。 會有人問,那麼遠的豹關台灣什麼事?自己的野生動物都保不了了,答案當然是:環保囉。如果環境竟是惡劣到,動物一種種滅掉的話,那麼會不會有一天輪到「人」這種野生動物呢? 所以至少開始狂貼黑龍江豹圖像吧,或甚至轉印到T恤上面...
