um……其实我对最后的结论是存疑的啦！
我还是想看到进一步的论证，为什么吃素就会对环境有很大的改进，这个效果有多大？吃素究竟能不能达到营养全面？有没有什么替代措施？
其实我就是……无法想象没有肉的生活……
所以我也很佩服可以一直吃素的人，真的要很厉害，可以做到的同学，试一试还是很棒的！

Finding Nemo a Home
给Nemo找个家
By Steve Pavlina
Did you know that 29% of the Great Barrier Reef’s coral died last year?
你知道去年大堡礁有29％的珊瑚死亡吗？
Imagine a forest about the size of Germany, and almost a third of it dies in one year. That’s essentially what happened in the ocean next to Australia. And it’s been happening all around the world.
想象一下有德国那么大面积的森林，其中近三分之一在一年内死亡。这实际上是澳大利亚旁边的海洋中发生的事情，而且这种情况世界各地都在发生。
Coral is very sensitive to global warming and starts dying when the surrounding water temperature increases beyond a certain point. It’s expected that most of the world’s coral will be gone within 30 years. Since so many fish depend on coral reefs, that would ultimately mean the collapse of a huge branch of our tree of life. And yes, we apes are responsible for this.
珊瑚对全球变暖非常敏感，当周围水温升高超过某一点时，珊瑚便开始死亡。预计世界上大多数珊瑚将在30年内消失。由于这么多的鱼依赖于珊瑚礁，这最终意味着我们生命之树的一个巨大分支的崩溃。是的，我们人类需要对此负责。
There’s a pretty powerful documentary about this called Chasing Coral, which just came out today. It’s from the same team that made Chasing Ice a few years ago. If you haven’t seen either, I’d recommend both. The footage can be emotional to watch – you may be surprised to find yourself crying – but ultimately I think it will inspire you more than it disempowers you.
有一个关于珊瑚礁的名为《追逐珊瑚》的很棒的纪录片，这个纪录片今天刚刚播出，它由几年前拍摄了《逐冰之旅》的那个团队拍摄。如果你还没看过这两部纪录片，我推荐你两个都看看。镜头很能打动人——你可能会惊讶地发现自己在哭——但最终我认为它会激励你，而不是让你失望。
What’s the single most useful thing you can do to be part of the solution? Switch to a plant-based diet if you haven’t already done so. Skip the flesh, and eat lighter and cleaner.
为了解决这个问题，你能做的最有用的事情是什么呢？那就开始吃素吧，不吃肉，吃得更清淡也更干净，如果你还没有这样做的话，
Unless you run a coal-fired power plant and can choose to shut it down overnight, or you’re making documentaries like these to raise awareness, nothing else you can change is likely to have as much impact as modifying your diet to be less wasteful. Due to all the negative environmental ripples created by the consumption of animal products, including a massive contribution to greenhouse gases, the choice of what you eat each day is your single biggest point of leverage as an individual. Going plant-based will have a greater positive impact than all of the other changes you could make combined.
除非你经营一座燃煤发电厂，并且你可以在一夜之间关闭这家燃煤发电厂，或者你正在制作这样的纪录片，以提高公众的环保意识，那么你能做到的影响最大的改变就是饮食节俭不要太浪费。由于消费动物产品所造成的所有负面环境影响，包括由此带来的大量温室气体排放，您每天吃饭的选择是您作为个人能做到的影响最大的点。相比于其他所有你可以做的改变，吃素食将会有更大的正面的影响。
