呵护绿色家园，构建和谐社会

——用我的视角关注垃圾分类

环境学院陈纬栋

固体废弃物是放错了地方的资源，因此回收尤为必要。而分类回收是实现废旧物资弃置最小化，达到垃圾处理减量化、无害化、资源化的途径，最终实现循环经济模式。

国际背景：

瑞典——人们倒垃圾时，将玻璃瓶扔进草绿色的大铁罐里，废旧电池扔进电池形状的火红色大铁筒里，废铁器扔进专用集装箱，废纸捆起来定期交运。

加拿大——公园里放着几种浅蓝色的子弹形大胶桶，分别回收废报纸、罐头盒、玻璃瓶等。

英国——伦敦有26个“再循环中心”， 专设回收废报纸、破旧衣服、玻璃瓶、铁皮罐等的垃圾桶。

国内背景：

总投资6．7亿元的国内第一座日处理量达千吨级的现代化生活垃圾焚烧处理厂——浦东御桥垃圾焚烧发电厂建成后，浦东新区全面实现垃圾分类收集处理。随着江桥、闵行等一批大型垃圾处理设施的相继竣工，上海的垃圾分类处理能力大大的提高，颇具成效。但是上海迈向现代化环境友好城市，依然任重而道远。

走在上海交大的校园里，如果你留心，便会发现路边一些标有“上海交通大学爱卫会”的垃圾桶是设计成分类收集垃圾的，一般垃圾被分为三类：可回收垃圾、不可回收垃圾和有毒垃圾。交大的同学们普遍具有环保的意识，因此一般都会按照分类将其手中的垃圾投入正确的收集桶中。

站在一个个贴有“爱护环境，美化校园”的垃圾桶前，我的思绪突然飞回了宿舍楼下的那一个个垃圾收集箱，为什么我们宿舍楼的垃圾没有进行分类回收呢？

作为上海交大环境学院青年志愿者服务队的一员，我深深的觉得我们应该首先站出来为保护绿色家园做一些力所能及的事情了。在青志队队长及主要队员讨论之后，我们决定在交大校园内的D-18号楼栋实施垃圾分类回收试点计划。 第一阶段：筹划准备——我们请教了学院的固体废弃物处理和处置的老师，一方面结合国际上流行的垃圾科学分类原则，一方面考虑到大学生宿舍生活的具体情况，制定了相应的垃圾分类方案，将垃圾分为了五类：报纸类垃圾：主要包括报纸、期刊、图书等。 瓶罐类垃圾：主要包括易拉罐，矿泉水瓶等。

塑料类垃圾：主要包括各种塑料袋、塑料包装物、废旧牙刷等塑料制品（矿泉水瓶等塑料制品归为瓶罐类垃圾）。

有毒害垃圾：如废电池、日光灯管、电灯泡、药品，盛装有毒物质的瓶罐等。有机可燃类垃圾：包括日常生活的大部分垃圾（可简单的认为除上述垃圾以外其他垃圾都归于此类）。

经过团委以及生活园区指导老师的批准，活动得到了大力的支持和悉心的帮助，垃圾分类回收试点顺利诞生。

第二阶段：宣传动员——我们联系了生活指导老师、楼长和层长，介绍了垃圾分类活动的计划，并通过他们向整栋楼的同学宣传垃圾分类的思想和具体的实施方案，同时建立监督机制。环境保护是一项需要大家共同参与的事业，楼里的同学没有因为嫌麻烦而不屑一顾或断然拒绝，纷纷表示愿意按照计划进行垃圾分类，保证垃圾分类试点的正常运作。

第三阶段：实施运作——海报贴出来了，分类垃圾箱搬进来了，同学们开始将宿舍的垃圾进行分类投放了，垃圾分类回收工作随之进行起来了。垃圾分类回收试点有条不紊的运作了一个月，活动在D-18楼取得了很好的效果，形成了“同学自觉分类、学校楼栋监督、垃圾处理站回收”的全新模式，使得学生公寓垃圾分类回收活动全面走向系统化、制度化、规范化。 第四阶段：总结提高——临近期末，垃圾分类活动也告一段落，进入了总结提高阶段。青志队适时的总结了垃圾分类试点所取得的成效和存在的问题，为下一步将垃圾分类推广到全校范围内的学生公寓做准备。 “我这手机太破了，不行了，扔了算了。” “扔了吧，这个卖也卖不了多少钱。”

扔吧，扔了，扔哪，扔哪？这个问题开始浮现在我的脑海中，萦绕着久久不能散去。

电子垃圾，一个新名词从我眼前闪过。随着社会经济的飞速发展，电子产品的更新换代越来越快，校园里的电子垃圾开始诞生了，并且有来势汹汹的趋势。而它们，又将何去何从？

用我的视角，关注垃圾分类。前方，路漫漫其修远兮，吾将上下而求索……

To Protect the Green Home, 

To Build the Harmonious Society

——Focusing on the Classification of Refuse from My View Point

The solid waste is the resources put at a wrong place. So the collection is extremely necessary. The separate collection is the way of minimization of discarded material, as well as the reduction, detoxification and reclamation of the refuse. This will achieve the 3R（Reduction, Reuse, Recycle）economical mode.

International background:

Sweden——When people dump trash, they throw glass bottles into big green iron trunk, batteries into big red pin bucket of the similar shape and discarded ironware into specific container. Waste newspapers are bundled for transportation regularly.

Canada——In parks there lie several kinds of bullet-shaped and blue-colored rubber buckets which are used for collection of paper, cans and glass bottles respectively.

Britain——There are 26 Recycle Centers in London. These centers have trash cans of definite purpose for separate collection of newspapers, shabby clothes, glass bottles and iron tins, etc.

Domestic background:

The Pudong Yuqiao Refuse Incineration Power Plant with the investment of 670 million RMB is the first modem domestic refuse incineration power plant，which can daily dispose a thousand ton of refuse. After the completion of it, separate collection and disposal of refuse is comprehensive implemented in Pudong New District. Later, with the completion of other large scale refuse disposal facilities like Jiangqiao and Minhang refuse incineration power plants, Shanghai’s capacity of disposal of classificated refuse is greatly enhanced. As a result, all these have improved the efficiency and made some accomplishments. But to be a modern environmentally friendly municipality, Shanghai still has a long way to go and a heavy responsibility to shoulder.

Wandering in Shanghai Jiaotong University (SJTU), you can find that there are some trash cans designed for separate collection of refuse. These trash cans classify the refuse into three categories: recoverable refuse, non-recoverable refuse and harmful refuse. The students in SJTU generally have the sense of environmental protection, so they can dump trash into the right container according to the classification instructions.

At the time I stood by the trash cans marked “protect the environment, beautify the campus”, my thoughts drifted to the refuse collection trunks in the front of our dormitory building. A question rose in my mind: “why is the refuse of our dormitory not collected separately?”

As a member of the School of Environmental Science and Engineering (SESE) Youth Volunteer Service Team, I deeply believed that we should stand out to do something in our power to protect our campus environment right now. After discussion with our captain, the team finally made a decision of carrying out the plan that we set the D-18 dormitory building as the experiment unit of separate collection of refuse.

The first step: plan and prepare —— We consulted our teacher expert in the treatment and disposal of solid waste to make proper classification measure. Based on the full consideration of the international scientific classification principle and the situation of our campus life, we classified the refuse into five categories:

Paper refuse: mainly includes newspapers, magazines, books, etc.

Bottle refuse: mainly includes cans, bottles, etc.

Plastic refuse: mainly includes plastic bags, plastic wrappage, lunch boxes, toothbrushes, etc (plastic bottles are included in the plastic refuse).

Harmful refuse: includes batteries, bulbs, pills, containers for poisonous liquid, etc.

Organic combustible refuse: includes most refuse of daily life (also can be considered as refuse other than those above).

Approved by the league committee and the dormitory community, the program got some support and help. The experiment unit of separate collection of refuse came forth.

The second step: publicity and mobilization —— We contacted the guide teacher of campus living, the monitors of the building and its six storeys. Through them we introduced this program and publicized the idea of separate collection and the plan of the implementation to all the students in D-18 building. At the meantime, we established a supervision mechanism. The environmental protection is a career that needs everyone to take part in. The students in D-18 building didn’t ignore or reject the program just because of judging it as a troublesome bug. So as to ensure the implementation and operation of the experiment unit, they all expressed their willing of following the instructions to classify the refuse and collect it separately.

The third step: implementation and operation —— The poster was put up. The classificated trash cans were brought into the building. Students began to dump trash separately. The procedures of separate collection of refuse were implemented. In one-month experience time, the program was operated in regular order and it made some accomplishments. The most important achievement was that an entirely new mode was formed. Students consciously classify; whole campus supervises; refuse disposal station reclaim. This mode made the separate collection and disposal of dormitory refuse systemic, mechanical and normative.

The forth step: summarization and elevation —— In the end of this term, the program of separate collection of refuse was over. The Youth Volunteer Service Team concluded the accomplishments and problems in the experiment unit in time and prepared for popularization of classification of refuse in dormitories of whole campus.

While standing in the front of the trash cans for classificated refuse, I was recalling the overall process of the experiment unit of separate collection of refuse in this term. Suddenly I heard a dialogue rearward:

“My mobile phone sucks. I don’t need it any more. ”

“Just throw it away. It’s worthless.”

Throw it away, away. Throw it where, where? This question rose in my mind and stuck me. 

Electronic refuse, a new phrase flashed. With the fast development of the societal economy, the new electronic products replace the older generation faster and faster. Electronic refuse appears in campus and has a fierce trend. And then, where should it be put?

Focusing on the classification of refuse from my view point, I find the way stretches endless ahead and I will seek from head to foot…

呵护绿色家园，构建和谐社会

－－从过度消费到全球变暖

      环境科学与工程学院 许谭

一． 时尚青年的消费主义：

漫步在大学校园里，你的目光会被一个个时尚的年轻人所吸引：拥有着各类新款的电子产品，谈论着新鲜流行的网络游戏。从他们身上，你感觉嗅到时尚了的气息。确实，在当今校园里，mp3、手机、电脑已经成为大学生的标志性消费品。当一个新事物或新品牌出现的时候，对于新奇事物的追捧或是出于虚荣心的考虑，许多学生图一时之快跟风消费。这种消费观念我称之为时尚青年的消费主义。

以学生广泛使用的手机为例。今年四月初我发起了一个内容为“在近一年中你是否更换过手机，原因是什么”的调查。通过各地同学的协助，该调查在上海、北京、天津、黑龙江、安徽、浙江等省市的高校中顺利展开。调查共涉及了14个高校的747名学生，其中有225人次在近一年中更换过手机，占调查总人数的30.1％，而其中因为手机丢失或损坏而不得不更换者仅占更换手机人数的34.7％。统计结果表明，时尚元素越多、消费水平越高的城市，更换手机人数的比例也越高；而相对应地，必须更换手机情况的比例也越少。

表1－高校中更换手机人数及原因调查结果统计表

﹡须更换比例：必须更换人数/更换手机总人数

由此可见，不少学生只是追求潮流而冲动消费。实际上，一部手机正常的使用寿命是3~5年，手机的主要功能也只是打电话和发短信，但是许多年轻人可能会为了一个炫彩外壳甚至是一种铃声而更换手机。

换一个场景。在商场减价促销的时候，你会看到疯狂抢购的人群。人们往往会因为觉得便宜而冲动或过度消费一些买过就放在一旁用不上的东西。每一个人大概都不能避免这样的经历。但试想这样的“便宜”又为人们带来了多少的“实惠”呢？

二． 不容忽视的间接能耗问题：

丹麦技术大学Jorgen Stig Norgard教授早在上世纪80年代就提出了“直接能源消耗”和“间接能源消耗”的概念。举个例子：日常照明、家用电器所用的电能，取暖的热能，以及车辆行驶时使用的燃料等都是直接能源消耗；而生产、运输、销售这些东西时也都要消耗能源，这部分能源就是间接能源消耗。

购买的物品越多，消耗的间接能源也越多。从消费者的角度看，工业产品大部分都要进入最终的消费领域，因此居民消费更多的是间接能源。以韩国的一个统计数据为例：2000年韩国居民用于直接能源消耗的消费只占收入的6.2%。但当年韩国全国GDP的54%被私人消费了，大部分是间接能源消费。

我们再来做一个简单却结果惊人的计算。这是科学家所做的一项能量消耗分析，举的是一台电冰箱的例子。一台电冰箱每年的直接能源消耗为1854MJ，而它在整个生命周期中的间接能源消耗(包括生产、贸易、运输、垃圾处理等)是3484MJ，如果按照正常的使用寿命15年来计算，这台电冰箱每年消耗的能源是1854＋3484／15≈2086MJ，但是如果这台冰箱只使用5年的话，它每年消耗的能源就是1854＋3484／5≈2551MJ，高出465MJ。由此可见，消费品的使用时间越短，意味着间接能源消耗越高。回顾开篇提到的例子，我们也可以推想出如果一年换一个新手机，消耗的能源肯定要比3年换一个手机消耗的能源多。请注意，这里我们还没有提到如今堆积如山的电子垃圾中的砷、铬、铅、镍、锌和多溴联苯醚等对环境造成的直接污染和危害。如果我们把治理这些危害所用的能源和费用再加进去，数字就更加不敢想象了。

我们现在已经意识到要随手关灯、把空调的温度调高几度等等以节省直接能源消耗，但更重要的是，我们也应该意识到因频繁地更换手机、家用电器以及购买衣服等而浪费的间接能源消耗，数字是多么的巨大。

三． 从过度消费到全球变暖：

为什么不能忽视能源消耗的问题？因为它直接关系到了全球变暖！

有数据显示，从第一次工业革命开始，大气中二氧化碳的含量增加了31％；目前全世界石油消耗量是开采量的两倍；全世界首次消耗掉1万亿桶石油历时125年，而以目前的消耗速度计算，再消耗1万亿桶只需要30年……种种资料表明，为了工业的发展和生活水平的提高，人类对能源的利用大大超过了环境所能承受的压力，人类所付出的代价也无法用GDP的增加简单地抵消。倘若某一天，一个又一个城市被上升的海平面吞没，一个又一个物种因变化的环境而消失，那么绿色的家园何以维持？和谐的社会何以构建？人类又何以避免毁灭的命运？

在纪录片《难以忽视的真相》中，大量科学研究的远景分析强烈地震撼着我们的心灵，也引发深深的思考。由于全球变暖，融化的冰导致食物减少，迫使南极的企鹅不得不游更远的距离去捕获食物；由于全球变暖，最高海拔只有2米多的马尔代夫首都马累，会因海平面的稍微上涨而被吞没；由于全球变暖，所有已知植物物种10％正濒临灭绝；由于全球变暖，干旱将给农业造成严重影响，疟疾、猩红热等恶性传染病也将更易传播……近景也已经给了人们教训：厄尔尼诺现象，荒漠化范围的扩大，海啸、干旱等灾害的发生以及刚刚过去的暖冬……每个人都惊呼地球变热了。以至引发了今年世界环境日的主题：ICE MELTING（冰雪消融）。

如果全球继续以现有的速率变暖，五十年、一百年后的地球会是什么模样！答案在我们每个人的行动中。

四． 举手之劳，呵护家园：

面对着被我们破坏得满目疮痍的人类环境，我们是应该放慢发展的脚步，甚至重新过回祖先与自然天人合一的生活？当然不是。工业要继续发展，能源要继续消耗，温室气体也要继续排放。但是，我们更加应该考虑将能源利用在极其重要而不得不用的方面，对于那些奢侈的、过度的消费，我们该做的是限制甚至是杜绝。

现在我们大力倡导社会循环式的消费，目的是使废弃物达到资源化和无害化，但是深入地思考一下，为了使废物能够重新成为可利用的资源，我们又需要花费多少额外的金钱，消耗多少额外的能源？为何不从生产的源头就开始“减肥”？少将未来的垃圾生产出来，就少了处理的麻烦。

首先，我们必须强调的是企业的社会责任，即一个企业不能以利益最大化为唯一的目标，它应该同时考虑社会效益，应该考虑它的生产对人类共同生活环境的影响。但是，我们不应该仅仅把目光放在企业减排或是废物达标排放上；与此同时我们看到，当追求时尚和盲目过度消费已经成为一种普遍现象的时候，供应商必然会设计更多吸引人眼球的物品以刺激消费。如果此时部分人群中这种消费态度能够及时转变，必将促使整个社会对物质过度追求的态度进行冷静地思考。如果我们能充分发挥现有物品的作用，或对现有物品稍做改进，而不是简单地追求时尚的物品，那我们整个社会对新物品的追求将大大减少。换个角度试想，作为一个环保主义者，如果在一边提倡杜绝使用一次性筷子、一次性塑料袋的同时却是个购物狂，那么他的任何说教和对环境问题看似关切的态度都显得黯然失色。

作为决定人类未来发展命运的当代大学生，为了构建和谐社会和人类共同的家园，保护环境其实举手之劳。如果在你有购物冲动的时候，在你看到别人新买了东西羡慕不已的时候，能够首先冷静地想想这个东西你是否真的需要；如果在允许的情况下，你能够告诉身边的家人和朋友，他们的节约不再仅仅是美德，而且关乎人类共同的命运、子子孙孙赖以生存的环境，那么通过这简单的思考和温和的提醒，你就已经为解决人类共同的环境问题迈出了大大的一步。

最后，我谨代表所有环保主义者向你的努力表示最诚挚的感谢！

Protect the Green Homeland, Construct the Harmonious Society

——From Excessive Consumption to Global Warming

1．Modern Youth’s Consumerism

Strolling around the campus, you will be attracted by each fashion youth. They own different kinds of new electronics products, talking about the most popular network games. From them, you could feel the fashion. Certainly, mp3, mobile, computer are the symbol consumptions of university students. When the novel items or new products come out, a lot of students spend much money for them, just for ministering to vanity. I call the phenomena Modern Youth’s Consumerism.

Taking the mobile, which is widely used among students, for example, I have done a survey on “Have you bought a new mobile in the last one year and WHY?” this April. The survey carried out smoothly in 14 universities including Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, Heilongjiang, Anhui, Zhejiang. 747 students participated in the survey. Among them, 30.1% have bought at least one new mobile in the last one year. However, just 34.7% of them buy a new mobile because their mobiles were lost or spoiled. Moreover, as the results showed below, the more advanced and higher consumption the city is, the higher the ratio of the amount of students who bought a new mobile, and contrarily the less the ratio of the amount of students who had to buy new mobiles.

Table 1 Results of survey on amount of university students who bought new mobiles and had to buy at least one in the last one year in different cities, and the rates.

 ﹡Rate of students who had to buy new mobiles：Amount of students who had to buy new mobiles / Amount of students bought new mobiles

Thus it can be seen, quite a number of students just buy things for pursuing fashion. However, in fact, the normal use life of a mobile is 3 to 5 years. The main function of the mobile is calling and sending messenger, but many youth buy new mobiles probably for their beautiful appearance, even just for a new ring tune.

On another occasion, for example, in an on-sale shopping mall, there are quite a lot of people doing shopping crazily. Those people usually buy goods because they are cheaper than before, but most of those things will be put aside and never used later. Although maybe no one could avoid doing such things, how much “substantial benefit” could the so-called “bargain” bring to people?

2. Indispensable problem of energy resource exhaust

The two concepts, “Direct Energy Consumption” and “Indirect Energy Consumption”, were put forward by Professor Jorgen Stig Norgard of Technical University of Denmark in 1980s. For instance, electrical power for household appliances and illumination, heat energy for warm oneself, the fuel for vehicle are Direct Energy Consumption; and the energy for production, transportation and sale are Indirect Energy Consumption.

The more goods bought and sold, the more indirect energy exhausted. From the view of consumer, most manufactured products will finally flow into the market places, so people spend more for indirect energy than for direct energy. Taking some statistic data of Korea for example, residents in Korea spent just 6.2% of their income for direct energy in 2000. However, 54% of GDP of Korea was consumed by private, most for indirect energy consumption.

Let’s do another simple but surprising counting. There is an energy exhaust analyse for fridge taken by some scientists. Every year, direct energy consumption of a fridge is 1854MJ, but it will consume 3484MJ of indirect consumption (including production, trade, transportation, disposal of rubbish and so on) in its whole life. If fridges’ length of life is 15 years, it will consume 1854＋3484／15≈2086MJ energy every year. And if it is used only for 5 years, it will consume 1854＋3484／5≈2551MJ, 465MJ more than 15 years’. Therefore, the less time a product used, the more energy consumed. Going back to the example of mobile phone, we could conclude that more energy will be consumed by changing for a new mobile in one year than in three years. Please attention, we have not mentioned the direct pollution and harm to the environment caused by arsenic, chrome, lead, nickel, zinc, PBDEs and so on of batteries. We cannot image how the number will be, if we plus the energy and cost of harnessing those pollution.

People have realized to save direct energy consumption by turn off the lights when leaving, adjusting the temperature of air condition higher in summer, etc. But the most important thing is that we should realize the frequent change for new mobile, household appliances and clothes is indirect energy consumption, the amount of which could be very huge.

3. From the excessive consumption to global warming: 

Why could not we ignore the problem of energy consumption? Because it `s directly related to global warming. 

The data shows that the content of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased by 31% from the first industrial revolution; petroleum consumption is twice the amount of mining currently in the world; the first time one trillion barrels of petroleum was consumed by the whole world for 125 years, but at the current consumption rate, another one trillion barrels could only last for 30 years… Various results indicate that for industrial development and the improvement of living standards, the energy consumption by human has extremely exceeded the pressure which environment could endure, and the price human pay for the environment can not be counterbalanced simply by the rise of GDP. If one day, one and another city was submerged by the rising sea level, and one and another species disappeared as a result of environment changing, how can we maintain our green garden? How can we build the harmonious society? And how can human avoid the destiny of perdition? 

In the film of An Inconvenient Truth, the vision of a large number of scientific analysis strongly shocked our souls also caused deep reflection. As global warming, the melting of ice causes food decrease, and forces the Antarctic penguins to go faraway to capture food; As global warming, the capital of Maldives, of which the maximum elevation only has two meters, will be submerged by the slight rising sea level; As global warming, 10% of all known plant species are on the verge of extinction; As global warming, drought will have a serious impact on agriculture, and malaria, scarlatina and other malignant infection will spread more easily ... Recent events have given a lesson to people : the El Nino phenomenon, the expansion of desertification, tsunamis, drought and other disasters occurred and the warm winter just past ... everyone is alarmed by the Earth's heat., which even triggered this year's World Environment Day topic : MELTING ICE. 

If the world continues to get warm at the existing rate of warming, after 50 years, or 100 years, what the Earth would look like? The answer will lie in the action of every one of us. 

4. Protect our homeland, let’s go!

Face to the undermining human environment, should we slow down the pace of development, or return to the traditional life that our ancestors lived harmoniously with nature? Of course not. Industry should be continued to develop, energy must be continued to consume, greenhouse gas must continue emission. However, we should consider using more energy at extremely important area that had to use. For those luxury, or excessive consumption, we should limit or even eliminate it. 

Now we vigorously promote the cycled consumption, so that waste could be used as resources and no harm. However, in-depth thinking about this, in order to change the waste become available resources again, how many additional money need we spend , and how much the additional consumption of energy? Why not start from the source of production to "lose weight"? The less garbage produced, the less trouble. 

First, we must emphasize social responsibility of enterprises, that is mean an enterprise should not regard maximizing its interest as the sole target, it should also consider the social benefits, and it should consider the impact of its production to human living environment. However, we should not only focus on enterprises to reduce emissions or waste discharge standards; Meanwhile, we can see that when the blind pursuit of fashion and over-consumption have become a universal phenomenon, vendors will design more attractive style to stimulate consumption. At this point, if some people with such consumption attitude change in time, that will help the whole community to reconsider the attitude of excessive pursuit of material calmly. If we can give full use to the existing goods, or make minor improvement, but not pursue fashion simply, then the whole community demand of new goods will be significantly reduced. From another perspective, if an environmentalist who advocates to eliminate the use of one-off chopsticks and one-off plastic bags, but at the same time he/she is a crazy shopper, then any of its sermons and thoughtful attitude of environmental issues seem to fade.

As the contemporary college students who decide the future development and human destiny, in order to build a harmonious society and the common homeland of humanity, environment protection in fact is very easy for us. When you have impulse to go shopping or admire the new things other people bought, you could calmly consider whether you really need it. If circumstances permit, you could be able to tell family members and close friends, that their conservation is not only virtue, but also do matter with the common destiny of mankind, the environment of children and grandchildren's survival. Through this simple thought and kind remind, you has taken a significant step forward to solve mankind's common environmental issues.

Finally, on behalf of all environmentalists, I would like to extend our most sincere gratitude to your efforts.

呵护绿色家园,构建和谐社会

               ——应对全球变暖，我们可以作些什么

全球变暖，对于民众来说，是一个不能再简单的单词

但它带来的危害，却绝不像普通民众想象的无非是温度上升几度，海平面上升几米那么简单。

让我们先来看看全球变暖给我们带来了什么

1．2006年夏，我国的川蜀地区出现历史罕见的大旱，受灾人口突破2100万，全市因大旱直接经济总损失80.4亿元，其中农业经济损失59.5亿元。

2．南大西洋出现了被认为是不可能会出现的飓风

3．曾经一度灭绝的疾病，如登革热和疟疾都重新发现

再来看看权威的科学家认为全球变暖会给我们带来什么

1． 到2030年，中国的三大作物，小麦、水稻、玉米将减产5％～10％

2． 未来的100年内，南极洲将会长出树木

3． 格陵兰岛冰层融化，迫使全球大洋环流热量交换停止导致10年内欧洲大陆进入冰河时期

这些事实和预测震撼了我的心灵，全球变暖已经把我们逼上了绝路，威胁着我们赖以生存的绿色家园。而我们又有多少人觉察到这一点，为应对全球变暖做出自己的一份贡献呢？

这是一场战争，一场维护我们绿色家园，构建和谐社会的战争，需要的是全部民众的团结一心与众志成城。

作为我校环境学院团委学生会的主席，我和我的战友们，已经全副武装，积极投身到这场关系到全人类生存大计的、应对全球变暖威胁的战争中来，在我们力所能及的范围内，做出我们的贡献

作为一个团队，为了应对全球变暖，我们大家一起构思出了并将日后付诸行动的以“思环保之源·致和谐之远”为主题的“6·5环境节”系列活动，我们的活动将涉及到校内、校外和八校三部分

校内部分

     1． 传单、复习资料回收箱

目前高校活动众多，活动免不了要宣传，而宣传免不了要传单。众览各高校活动宣传之地，无不传单满天横飞。就算是考试期间，打印复习资料，同学们为图方便，往往单面打印。考试结束之后，很大的一部分复印资料就随同其他垃圾一起丢入了垃圾筒。无论是传单还是复习资料都造成了纸张的大量浪费。而如果能够充分利用起这些传单和复习资料，将其回收利用，并将此做法推广到全国各地，势必能够挽救成片的森林。众所周知，树木的光合作用可以大量吸收和固定大气中的二氧化碳。

     2． 校园环保宣传

       我们学生会将制作展板，以图片的形式，直观的向交大学生展示全球变暖带来的灾   难性后果，使他们了解到环境形势的严峻。希望通过这样参与性较强的活动调动同学们积极参与到环境保护事

      业中来。

       我们将举办游戏活动，吸引更多的同学参与到我们环保活动中

       我们将在全校范围内举办环保知识竞赛，通过知识竞赛的形式引起大家对全球变暖的关注，增加大家对全球变暖的了解

校外部分

校外部分我们分为走进南京路、中学、小学、幼儿园四块，目的在于对社会各个年龄层的人，根据他们接受能力，对他们进行以全球变暖为主的环境保护宣传。

       在南京路，我们进行全球变暖图片展，进行涉及全球变暖方面的小知识问答，动员市民行动起来，加入应对全球变暖的战争中来。

       在中学，我们将邀请学院最资深的教授王老师给当地的中学生们讲解全球变暖的危害以及应对措施。使这些准大学生们能够积极投身到这场应对全球变暖的斗争中来

       在小学，我们以图片展、义务讲课、做游戏的形式宣传环保知识

       在幼儿园，我们将以动画片，小品的形式对他们进行环保启蒙教育

八校部分

我们将联合复旦、华师大、同济、东华、上师大、上海海事、上海电力七所学校的环境专业，作为一个有机的整体，为应对全球变暖，做出我们的努力

       八校走进社区宣传全球变暖带来的危害

       八校组织一次交流会，就我们环境学院的学生如何发挥专业优势进行环境保护宣传进行交流

       八校联合发表倡议书，用我们年轻人的声音号召全社会动员起来应对全球变暖

但我们的力量是微弱的，借拜耳青年环境特使的机会，我们呼吁社会上的一切力量都行动起来，这种力量包括来自政府的，来自媒体的，来自企业的，和来自高校的

政府部门：戈尔的“难以忽视的真相”获得了本届奥斯卡最佳记录片，在全世界各地掀起了一股抑制全球变暖的活动高潮。由此可见，政界在引导民众行为上有着决定性的作用。政府可以动用宣传、法律、行政等手段来作为应对全球变暖的先锋

媒体部门：应该发挥自身的宣传、监督作用。积极宣传全球变暖带来的危害性，倡导抑制全球变暖应采取的行为。对那些加速全球变暖的行为进行监督，对情节恶劣的行为要给予及时的曝光。

企业部分：

       排污企业应当积极改进工艺，减少温室气体的排放量

       其他企业应当在自己力所能及的范围内做出应对措施，如建筑行业应当积极推广使用节能建筑材料

高等院校：高等院校在加强环保教育的同时，应当积极加强如节能材料、节能电器、环保工艺的研发，从根本上解决环保问题

普通民众：

       节约用电，使用节能电器，这样就可以少消耗发电所用原煤，减少温室气体排放

       拒绝使用一次性筷子，可以挽救大片森林

       少开私车，多使用公共交通

应对全球变暖，是一场全民战争。我已准备好，我的团队已经准备好。我们将肩负起我们的责任，使更多的人了解全球变暖狰狞的面目，加入到这场捍卫我们绿色家园，构建和谐社会的战斗中来，所有活动都归属于我们整个团队。

To Safeguard Our Beautiful Environment,

 To Build a Harmonious Society

——Faced with the problem of global warming, what could we do

Global warming, a phrase that can’t be more familiar to the public, yet has brought us with it the hazardous results more than the stereotype that ‘the temperature keeps going up, and the sea level rising’

First let’s have a look at what the Global Warming has brought us

            1. In the summer of 2006, a historical drought calamity took place in Sichuan Province, in which the number of people involved reached as high as 21 million. The drought caused a direct economic loss of 8.04 billion RMB, among which was a agricultural loss of 5.95 billion RMB.

            2. An absolute unexpected hurricane attacked the South Atlantic

            3. Dengue and Malaria which had been thought extinct have been re-found in the South-East Asia

Then, let’s see what have been predicted by the authorized scientists

            1. By the year of 2030, the production of china’s 3 major products would have reduced by 5%~10%

            2. During the next 100 years, we could even expect to see trees grow in Antarctica

            3. The melting ice-layer of Greenland could cause a pause of the heat transfer of the ocean conveyor, which would lead European landscape to a new Ice Age within 10 years.

I am deeply shocked by these facts and predictions. Global Warming has become a great threaten to our beautiful environment, and forced us to the last straw and to revolt. However, how many of us have perceived it and are willing to contribute to the fight against it? It is a war, a war to safeguard our beautiful environment and to build a harmonious society. We should unite and achieve our goals.

As President of the Students Council of School of Environmental Science and Engineering, my colleagues and I have already been armed to teeth, and devoted ourselves to this war against Global Warming which concerns the existence of human being. We will do all that we could within the scope of our ability.

As a team, we are conceiving the 2007 6·5 Environment Day Activities, with the theme of “Consider the source of environmental protection, to march further in the harmony construction”. The whole campaign is consisted of 3 parts: Inside The Campus, Outside The Campus, and Across Eight Universities.

Inside The Campus

            1. Container for recycling the wasted leaflets and learning documents or files

Once a certain activity is approaching on campus, the leaflets are surely employed for propaganda. When the activity is coming to an end, you could see leaflets scattered everywhere.

In the period of examination, lots of students have to print lots of documents. And they usually choose to print on one single side for convenience. And then, after the exams, they just dump them with other wastes immediately. Both the leaflets and the documents are causing a great waste of paper. If we could manage to recycle and reuse them, and spread this activity across other schools, we could save large areas of forest. As we all know, the photosynthesis of trees could absorb the carbon dioxide.

            2. Campus propaganda of environmental protection

               Our Students Council will make 10 pieces of boards with relative pictures to show the disastrous results of the Global Warming in order to attract more and more college students into this war against Global Warming through this kind of activities with interactions.

               We will arrange some campaigns in the form of games to draw the attention of the students

               We will hold a Knowledge Competition of Environmental protection in the campus to lead the students to a deeper level of understanding Global Warming

Outside The Campus

This part includes four sects: Nanjing Road, High School, Primary School, and Kindergarten

               Through Nanjing Road, we will exhibit relative pictures on Global Warming, and ask the public questions about Global Warming in order to let them realize how serious the situation is now and encourage them to join with us in the fight against it.

               In the high school, we will invite our honored Professor Wang to deliver a speech on Global Warming and the solutions. In this way, we hope that these college students-to-be could shoulder the responsibility to protect our Environment in the future.

               In the primary school ,we will carry out the campaign in the form of showing pictures, giving lessons, and doing games with the students.

               In the kindergarten, we will give the kids enlightening education with cartoons and opusculum

Eight Universities

We will unite FuDan University, TongJi University, East China Normal University, Shanghai Normal University, Shanghai Maritime University, Shanghai University of Electric Power to form an organic body and carry out a series of activities as the reaction upon the Global Warming.

               Our eight universities will enter the communities to propagate the harm of Global Warming.

               We will hold a meeting in which our eight universities could exchange our views on how to employ our major advantages in carrying out activities.

               We will deliver a Cooperation Petition, to raise the public awareness on the fight against the Global Warming

What we are able to do is far from enough. Taking this opportunity , We are expecting efforts from all fields to fight against Global Warming, including efforts from the government, the media, the enterprises, and the universities.

Government:

Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth has won the Oscar for Best Documentary, and inspired a series of activities to fight against Global Warming across the whole world. This suggests the crucial role our government plays in guiding the public. The government should be the leader in the combat with Global Warming, with propaganda, legal, and administrative methods as its weapons.

Media

The media should give play to their advantages of propaganda and supervision. It should actively exposure the hazardous results brought by Global Warming and advocate the solutions against Global Warming. The media should also supervise the wrong doings and expose the unproper behaviors in time.

Enterprises

The waste releasing enterprise should improve their techniques to reduce the amount of the green gas released.

Other enterprises should contribute within their capability as well. For example, the architecture

industry should advocate to use the energy saving material.

Universities

While intensifying the education of environmental protection, the universities should actively further the research and development on energy saving material, energy saving electric equipments, and new technics that are friendly to the environment, to solve the environmental problems radically.

The general public

               Use the electricity properly, and use energy saving electric equipments which could reduce the amount of coal used for producing electricity and the green house released to the environment.

               Refuse using disposable chopsticks and in this way to save large areas of forests.

               Less use of car , and more frequent use of the public transportation

It is a world-wide war against Global Warming. My teammates and I have already got full prepared for it. We will shoulder our responsibility to help more and more people to realize the Inconvenient Truth, and get more and more people involved in this combat against Global Warming. All the activities belong to the whole team.
