答案解析
參考譯文
污染是一個“骯臟”的詞語。污染就是弄臟——表土或什么東西,通過引進雜質(zhì)使其不健康或不潔。污染可以有很多形式。我們可以看見它,聞到它,嘗到它,喝到它,從它中間掙扎走過。我們簡直生活在污染中,呼吸著它,毫不奇怪,它開始威脅我們的健康、我們的幸福和我們的文明。
我們曾經(jīng)把污染只是想成煙霧——盤旋在城市上空的那種嗆人、刺鼻、骯臟的空氣。但是空氣污染雖然是最為危險的,但也只是幾種攻擊最基本生活功能的污染之一。
通過不加控制地使用殺蟲劑。人類已經(jīng)污染了土地,殺死了野生動物。通過將污水和化學(xué)物質(zhì)傾倒進河流和湖泊,我們已經(jīng)污染了我們的飲用水。我們也正在污染海洋,殺死魚類,因而剝奪了我們那無價的食物供應(yīng)。
人口爆炸也是引起污染的原因之一。越來越多的人正在制造越來越多的垃圾。但是,這一問題被我們的“一次性”技術(shù)加劇了。每年美國人都要扔掉700萬輛汽車、2,000萬噸廢紙、2,500萬磅牙膏皮和4,800萬個罐子。我們還扔掉口香糖包裝紙、報紙和紙盤。再次利用已經(jīng)不再明智了。今天。幾乎所有東西都可以扔掉。比起修一臺烤箱或收音機,買一臺新的、扔掉舊的更容易、更便宜,雖然它95%的部件仍可以使用。嬰兒尿布以前用循環(huán)使用的布制成,現(xiàn)在都變成紙質(zhì)的一次性產(chǎn)品了。不久我們就會穿上紙質(zhì)的衣服:“穿一次就扔掉”將成為流行意識的口號。
所有這些到什么時候才能結(jié)束?我們是不是正在把世界變成一個巨大的垃圾場,或者我們還有沒有希望解決污染問題?幸運的是,已經(jīng)有了解決問題的辦法,有幾種辦法還十分具有獨創(chuàng)性。
