Before 1970, few laws protected the environment. Then on April 22 that year, Earth Day was created to celebrate our planet, tell people about environmental problems, and encourage them to take action. Now Earth Day is celebrated all around the world. We still face many challenges, such as climate（气候） change, plastic pollution, and deforestation（毁林）. But we can make a difference. Here is an Earth-helping hero.
Adeline Tiffanie Suwana was twelve when her family’s home flooded. Indonesia, her island nation in South-east Asia, is often hit hard by floods and other natural disasters.
Adeline wanted to help. Studying the problem, she learned that mangrove trees play an important role in flood protection. Their big, tangled（缠结的）roots slow floodwaters and keep soil from washing away. But the trees were being cut down.
Adeline gathered her classmates to plant 200 mangrove young trees during a school break. They started a group called Friends of Nature, which works to keep the area’s biodiversity（生物多样性）, fight against climate change, and help people realize the importance of the environment. They even started a project to get clean energy to remote villages.
Today, Adeline attends college, studying how businesses can help the environment.

To support the employment (就业) of disabled people in Guangzhou, Starbucks has opened its first “Silent Café” in China where almost half the staff are hearing impaired.
Fourteen out of the thirty staff members have trouble hearing, and so Starbucks has created a café that doesn’t require customers to say anything—nor the staff to hear anything. “This might be the quietest Starbucks among the over 3800 shops on the Chinese mainland,” says Leo Tsoi, Chief Operating Officer of Starbucks, China.
The newly opened “Silent Café” has a special ordering system where all food and drinks are numbered, letting customers easily write down their order and allowing them to place orders without having to say a word.
Chen Siting, a staff member shares her thoughts about the idea. “We cannot hear you but would like to share a tasty coffee with you,” says Siting. “I believe more people like me could find a career they dream about in the future,” she continues.
Like Siting, Zhu Jieying, has been working at Starbucks for about seven years, making him its first hearing-impaired coffee master. He has hopes that Starbucks could open more opportunities (机遇) for those who are disabled, and encourage them to prove themselves and to explore more possibilities in life.

John: Great. I like your ideas. So my next question is, what advice would you give to human beings in order to be better prepared for the future
ChatGPT: Good question, John. Here are a few pieces of advice for people to think about. First, develop thinking ability. In a word, instead of copying others’ ideas, you should have your own thoughts. Next, learn to work together with machines. Don’t be afraid of AI, it’s important to know how to work together with machines to improve your own abilities. Then, develop skills only human beings have, like creativity, and empathy(共情). Fourth, keep learning and changing. The world is changing fast and it’s important to stay up to date with the latest development s in technology and other fields. I hope these tips are helpful, John.
