2023年高三高考英语外刊阅读理解训练——在家里养盆栽植物好不好？
——改编自Is it good to keep potted plants at home
The popularity of houseplants is on the rise, particularly among younger generations in urban areas. Not only do they add a natural touch to our homes and improve air quality, but they also have claimed health benefits. However, there are concerns about the environmental impact of buying and growing these plants.
Many houseplants are purchased online or shipped from overseas, which can increase their carbon footprint and create what is known as "plant miles". However, some argue that home delivery may have less of an environmental impact than multiple trips to the garden center in a car. Despite this, there are concerns about the plastic pots used for growing the plants and the type of peat that some are grown in.
A sustainable approach to buying and growing houseplants may be the best way forward. Initiatives such as PlantSwap encourage people to trade plants locally, reducing
the need for shipping and transportation. Using environmentally friendly pots and choosing plants grown in sustainable ways can also help minimize the negative impact on the environment.
In conclusion, while the trend of having houseplants in our homes is growing, it is important to consider the environmental impact of purchasing and growing them. Adopting a sustainable approach to buying and caring for houseplants can help mitigate the negative impact on the environment while still allowing us to enjoy the benefits that these plants can bring to our homes.
