The questions range from “Is my water usage affecting the planet and nature?” to “Which foods are responsible for the worst deforestation?” The answers are the same length, regardless of the complexity of the questions, which is a bit odd at times; but they are solidly researched and well-cited responses, with resources for follow-up.

It contains numerous little projects, from building garden beds to preserving home-grown produce. The book is a quick and easy read, which can be easily finished in an hour or two. It gives readers a good sense of what they want to explore further. An Almost Zero Waste Life by Megean Weldon The book offers suggestions on reducing waste in every aspect of life, from grocery shopping to beauty routines and clothing. The book is packed with information in short, easily-digestible paragraphs, and the chapters are accompanied by cute graphics (图形) and stylized minimalist photography (极简摄 影). Sustainable Home by Christine Liu This beautiful book could sit on your coffee table, with its splendid minimalist photography. Author Christine Liu is a sustainability blogger whose own home and DIY projects are featured in the book.

I felt like a storm cloud hung over me. For almost a year I struggled on, constantly staring at this wall that faced me. My perfectionist tendencies were the main root of this: I wanted to be perfect at whatever I did, which obviously in life is not possible, but it consumed me. One day, I attended a presentation ( 报告) by wildlife conservationist Grant Brown at my high school. His presentation not only awed (使惊叹) and inspired me, but also helped create an inner desire to make a difference in the world. I joined a pre-presentation dinner with him and that smaller setting allowed me to slowly build up my courage to speak one-on-one with him—an idea that had seemed completely impossible. This first contact was where my story began. A month later, Brown invited me to attend the World Youth Wildlife Conference. Looking back, I now see that this would be the first in a series of timely opportunities that my old self would have let pass, but that this new and more confident Alice enthusiastically seized. Shortly after I received his invitation, applications to join the Youth for Nature and the Youth for Planet groups were sent around through my high school. I decided to commit to completing the applications, and soon I was a part of a growing global team of young people working to protect nature. Each of these new steps continued to grow my confidence. I am writing this just six months since my journey began and I’ve realized that my biggest obstacle (障碍) this whole time was myself. It was that voice in the back of my head telling me that one phrase that has stopped so many people from reaching their potential: I can’t. They say good things come to those who wait; I say: grab every opportunity with everything you have and be impatient. After all, nature does not require our patience, but our action. 24. What was the main cause for Alice’s anxiety? A. Her desire to be perfect. B. Her habit of consumption. C. Her inability to act her age. D. Her lack of inspiration. 25. How did Grant Brown’s presentation influence Alice? A. She learned about the harm of desire. B. She tasted the sweetness of friendship. C. She decided to do something for nature. D. She built up her courage to speak up. 26. The activities Alice joined in helped her to become more ______. A. intelligent B. critical C. innovative D. confident 27. What can we learn from this passage? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Patience is a cure of anxiety. C. Action is worry’s worst enemy. D. Everything comes to those who wait.
